Crestview Hills, Kentucky is a small suburban city in Kenton County, part of the Greater Cincinnati area just across the river in Northern Kentucky. Thomas More University and its Saints anchor the local student presence on a compact campus, and the city's scale means student life leans on the wider region rather than one college strip. Crestview Hills sits along Interstate 275 near the I-71 and I-75 interchange, so downtown Cincinnati is only about twenty minutes away. The city's neighborhoods, from Lookout Farm to College Park and Summit Lakes, mix single-family homes with condos and quiet residential streets. The Crestview Hills Town Center gives the area a walkable hub, with the riverfront districts of Covington and Newport nearby.

Here's what you need to know about getting around Crestview Hills.
The Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky, known as TANK, runs bus routes through Crestview Hills, including an Eastern Avenue line, connecting the city to Covington, Edgewood, Fort Mitchell, and Cincinnati. Students without a car can use TANK to reach campus, the Town Center, and the region. Schedules suit commuters more than spontaneous trips, so plan around the timetable. Many students keep a car and lean on TANK as a backup.
Walking works within neighborhoods and around the Town Center, but the suburban layout means crossing districts on foot isn't realistic. Biking is doable on quieter streets but limited by the highway design. Within a neighborhood, students can reach nearby errands on foot. For trips between districts, most pair walking with TANK or a car.
