About Highland Heights

Highland Heights offers a quiet suburban feel with the lively energy of a college town, located just south of Cincinnati in northern Kentucky. The community of around 6,700 residents is built around Northern Kentucky University, which brings perks you rarely find in a smaller suburb. Having NKU next door means easy access to Division I basketball games, concerts at Truist Arena, theater productions, and campus green spaces right down the street.

Commuting is one of the city's biggest draws, thanks to the direct interchange of I-471 and I-275, making the drive into downtown Cincinnati about ten minutes. Everyday shopping and dining run right along U.S. 27, while quiet residential pockets branch off into relaxed neighborhoods. Families are served by the Campbell County School District, and with nearby towns like Fort Thomas and Newport minutes away, residents have convenient access to everything the region has to offer.
