Homes & land for sale in Covington, KY
Northern Kentucky — historic river neighborhoods across the bridge from Cincinnati.
Covington, Kentucky
Living in Covington.
Covington sits on the Ohio River directly across from downtown Cincinnati, connected by the iconic Roebling Suspension Bridge. Its historic neighborhoods — MainStrasse Village, Licking Riverside and Old Seminary Square — are known for beautifully preserved 19th-century architecture, while Devou Park offers sweeping skyline views.
Covington buyers love historic rowhouses and Victorian homes in walkable neighborhoods, river and skyline views, and quick access to Cincinnati jobs. Nearby communities like Park Hills, Fort Mitchell and Fort Wright offer more suburban options.
Historic homes deserve careful due diligence, from roofs and foundations to systems and historic district guidelines. We’ll help you evaluate each property and negotiate with confidence.

In their words
From our clients.
Lyndsey at Kentucky Land and Home is truly one of the most kind, hardworking professionals I’ve ever worked with. She has helped me buy and sell three homes, and throughout every process she has been incredibly patient, dedicated, and supportive—especially as I navigated a tight budget while still trying to find exactly what I wanted.
Enter Liz Tremble (our actual real estate angel)… She provided us potential listings immediately (even responding late hours for my 2nd shift husband) and helped us find a buyer for our previous property which we never imagined would happen as quickly as it did. If you are looking for a realtor who truly cares and will be willing to go the extra mile Liz is your lady and Kentucky Land and Home are your people!
I have had excellent experiences working with not only Lyndsey but also several other agents at KY Land and Home. Highly recommend!
Bri and Lyndsey both helped me sell my home and purchase another one. They were great to work with!
Jennifer Ware is one in a million and we’re so lucky to have her as our realtor. She is so approachable and goes out of her way to help you.
Thank you so much for helping us find our new home! We are so happy with our house thanks to your great help. We wouldn’t have been able to do this without your patience and support.
