About
Peaselburg
Peaselburg, located between MainStrasse Village and the Ohio River, is a historic and residential Covington neighborhood with compact brick streetscapes and hillside views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Main Street corridor near 12th Street, where corner storefronts and stoops set a steady, lived-in rhythm. Landmark Coffee House and the Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center act as cultural touchpoints nearby, with Braxton Brewing Company adding a local gathering spot. Housing leans toward late-19th- and early-20th-century brick homes and small multifamily buildings with front porches and tight setbacks. Sidewalk blocks connect quickly to downtown Covington’s civic buildings and riverfront paths. The feel is urban-scaled and walk-oriented, with pockets of greenery breaking up the grid.
