Living in Highland Heights, KY: Campbell County Living with a College Town Feel
Welcome to Highland Heights, Kentucky. This Campbell County community has roots going back to the 1800s, when the area was simply known as "the Highlands." Highland Heights officially became a city in 1927 and has grown into a small community of around 6,100 residents. Today, it's best known as the home of Northern Kentucky University. If you're looking at Highland Heights KY homes for sale, this guide walks through what makes the area worth a closer look.

At the same time, it's still a quiet, established residential area with good schools and easy access to the rest of Northern Kentucky.
