Northern Kentucky is in so many ways the best of Cincinnati. The Northern Kentucky/Greater Cincinnati airport is only ten minutes from St. Elizabeth Edgewood with access to the U.S. and international destinations. The economy in Northern Kentucky is thriving with companies such as Fidelity Investments, Ashland Oil, and Toyota making it home. The cost of housing is among the lowest for a major metropolitan area with choices from historic to new construction.
