Sitting amid the gently rolling landscape of northern Kentucky, the small Boone County city of Walton exhibits a timeless rural character. Apart from a few small retail centers scattered around town and a modest Main Street business corridor, the community is almost entirely residential, with a rental market featuring a healthy mix of apartments and single-family homes. Downtown Cincinnati is only about twenty miles to the north, making Walton a great option for commuters who favor a more pastoral home environment, and both Lexington and Louisville are easily within day trip distance.
