Crestview Hills, KY 41017: Neighborhoods, Schools, and Market Data

What ZIP 41017 Actually Covers

ZIP 41017 is a US Postal Service delivery boundary, not a city boundary, and it stretches well past Crestview Hills itself. Eleven other city names are accepted under the ZIP by the Postal Service, and Census-based population estimates show Crestview Hills is one of the smaller cities in that group.

Population shares are Census-derived estimates for 2024 compiled by City-Data.com; the accepted city list comes from USPS data aggregated at UnitedStatesZipCodes.org. The share numbers explain why an address search for “41017” surfaces listings, schools, and amenities that have nothing to do with Crestview Hills proper.

Is 41017 the same as Crestview Hills?
No. USPS accepts eleven other city names under 41017: Bromley, Covington, Crescent Park, Crescent Springs, Edgewood, Erlanger, Fort Mitchell, Fort Wright, Lakeside Park, and Villa Hills. Crestview Hills is the fifth-smallest of the group by population share.

Crestview Hills by Neighborhood

The city’s government site names five subdivisions and roughly 1,300 homes total, an older, smaller count than the “six neighborhoods” some real estate guides claim.

Source: City of Crestview Hills, Neighborhoods page. No independent, primary source publishes per-subdivision home counts or price bands for these five areas; treat any specific price-band claim you find elsewhere as unverified until you filter an active NKMLS search by subdivision name yourself. Crown Point, the newest subdivision, is managed under the same Towne Properties homeowners association as the city’s older subdivisions.

Why the Numbers Disagree

Ask three different sites for Crestview Hills’ median household income and you’ll get three different answers.

Why do different websites list different income and population figures for Crestview Hills?
Most are pulling different vintages of the same Census survey. A site refreshed against the 2019–2023 estimate shows different numbers than one refreshed against 2020–2024, even with identical methodology and no error involved.

Schools: What Serves This City

Every school Crestview Hills’ city government names for its residents belongs to Kenton County Schools.

Source: City of Crestview Hills, Schools page; Beechwood’s district office location and service area are documented at U.S. News’ district profile. School-rating sites occasionally list Beechwood schools under a Crestview Hills profile because the ZIP code overlaps, not because a boundary overlaps.

Will my Crestview Hills address be zoned for Beechwood schools?
No confirmed Crestview Hills address falls in Beechwood Independent. If a listing near the city line claims otherwise, verify directly through Kenton County Schools’ own attendance-zone finder before assuming.

Current Market Conditions

Redfin puts Crestview Hills’ median sale price at $240,000 over the year ending January 2026, down 33.1% from the year before, based on Redfin’s Crestview Hills market page, which draws on MLS data.

That swing looks dramatic and probably isn’t a real repricing of the whole city. Crestview Hills sells only a handful of homes a month, so a year-over-year percentage built on such a small sample can move sharply from which few homes happened to close, without any citywide shift in underlying value.

Is now a buyer’s or seller’s market in Crestview Hills?
The trailing-year median price is down, and Redfin’s statewide Kentucky data shows a median 48 days on market as of May 2026. At Crestview Hills’ sales volume, checking the most recent month or two of closings tells you more than the trailing-year figure alone.

For Investors and Landlords

Thomas More University, inside city limits, enrolled 2,379 students for fall 2025–26 according to the university’s own enrollment announcement, up from over 2,300 the prior year, a steady source of off-campus rental demand. About 26% of Crestview Hills housing units were renter-occupied as of the 2023 ACS estimate, against a 73.7% homeownership rate, so the rental stock is real but not dominant. Anyone buying to rent in one of the condo-style subdivisions should confirm rental caps with the Towne Properties HOA before closing; HOA rental restrictions can make an otherwise attractive unit unrentable.

Is Crestview Hills a good rental investment?
It’s a landlord’s market of modest size: steady university-driven demand, a minority-renter housing stock, and HOA rules that need checking property by property rather than assumed citywide.

Getting Around

I-275 sits at the edge of the city, giving access to Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport to the west and downtown Cincinnati to the east. I-71 and I-75 run close by, and T.A.N.K. buses serve the area, per Sibcy Cline’s community profile.

Parks and Amenities, With a Jurisdiction Note

Two of the parks most often listed as Crestview Hills amenities are located in Edgewood: Freedom Park and Presidents Park both carry Edgewood addresses, confirmed independently through business listings and a local brokerage’s community page, not a Crestview Hills one. What’s confirmed inside city limits: Summit Hills Country Club, a Five Seasons-branded sports club, Thomas More University, and the Crestview Hills Town Center retail district. A buyer weighing walking distance to a specific park should confirm its city before trusting a “Crestview Hills amenities” list at face value.
