The Ascent at Roebling’s Bridge, a curved, asymmetrical structure that houses luxury condominiums, was built in 2006 and has become an icon in the city of Covington.

Hemmer Hill Farm
When Joyce and Gary Keibler purchased their 22-acre Hemmer Hill Farm in Crestwood, Kentucky, they didn’t intend to become working farmers. In fact, they intended to enjoy the open space for their retirement. Instead, they’ve found a niche in local agriculture that keeps them busy throughout the year.
