Latonia has the largest business district beyond downtown Covington. At its heart lies the Ritte’s Corner National Register Historic District, anchored by four landmark buildings and a new fountain plaza dedicated to those who gave their lives in the Korean War. Farther south, two popular shopping centers occupy the land that was once the racetrack, now convenient to I-275. Grocery stores, shops and restaurants are available in Latonia, as are banks, pharmacies and medical facilities. It also offers local schools and numerous churches, as well as two neighborhood associations and a business association.

The railroad has always played a large role in Latonia, and appropriately, the neighborhood is home to the Greater Cincinnati Railway Museum. Johnny’s Toy Store holds model train expos for those who prefer the miniature version and also features Totter’s Otterville, a varied and creative play area that young kids can’t get enough of.

Latonia has some of the city’s best recreational facilities, such as the Bill Cappel Sports Complex, which offers state-of-the-art baseball/softball fields, two soccer fields, and a water park. Rosedale Park includes both football and soccer fields that are used by Holy Cross High School and Covington residents. For a few rounds of golf, a drink and an elegant lunch, you can visit the privately owned, 18-hole Twin Oaks Golf Course and Event Center.
