All About

Living in Northern Kentucky University, KY

Located seven miles southeast of Cincinnati in Highland Heights, Northern Kentucky University is primarily an undergraduate, liberal arts institution. With a student body exceeding 15,000 individuals, NKU is the third largest university in Greater Cincinnati and the youngest of Kentucky's eight state schools. Students and professionals interested in renting an apartment in the NKU area would do well to research the multiple opportunities for recreation the region has to offer.

One of the most well-known attractions the NKU area has to offer apartment renters is Coney Island Park in Cincinnati. Widely regard as one of the best operated amusement parks in history, Coney Island has roots dating back to 1867 when James Parker - an apple farmer - bought the land for agricultural use. However, its idyllic location along the Ohio River drew many tourists and eventually led to the sale of the land the Ohio Grove Corporation, which renamed the park "Ohio Grove - the Coney Island of the West."

Afterwards, apartment renters in the NKU region can head to the Newport Aquarium. With 70 exhibits and 14 galleries, this aquarium features an amazing variety of aquatic life from around the world. Make sure to visit "Scooter" and "Sweet Pea," some of the only shark rays in the world and the only breeding pair in captivity.

Finally, apartment renters who want to experience NKU area sporting events would do well to visit Paul Brown Stadium, home to the Cincinnati Bengals. It has a listed capacity of 65,535 and has hosted nothing but Bengals games since it opened on August 19, 2000.
