Kentucky: What is the best town in central Kentucky in which to live?|174503

Think of the Louisville-Lexington area, extending from Elizabethtown/Fort Knox to Mt. Sterling and Stanton, and from Dry Ridge to Mt. Vernon and Liberty.

  • Bloomfield: beautiful, quaint, tiny, but still right off the Bluegrass Parkway.

    Woodford County: this would include Versailles and Midway. Both towns are gorgeous and (mostly) clean, have just undergone downtown _makeovers_ through the KY renaissance program, and the farmland surrounding the towns is so beautiful. Full of history and character; however, Woodford just DOUBLED its property taxes at the start of _06.

    Lexington: rude people, nut drivers, but a gorgeous city! Also surrounding by stunning beauty.

    Frankfort: nice little town, kind of a scroungy redneck outpost, but it does have its nice parts. Has a very expansive and well-maintained park system for a town that small.

    Owen County: if you can_t stand city life, move there. There_s absolutely nothing!

    Nicholasville: a booming southern suburb of Lexington, with two large shopping _districts_ (not centers, they_re larger than that) currently under construction. Nice land, relatively low cost of living, and Lex. is a stone_s throw away.

    Danville: lovely town, home of Centre College. Can be a little snooty and high-handish if you encounter that type of people, but it is THE bargain of the central KY area. Great public schools, three colleges, a good police force, safe town, very clean, nice parks, two performing arts centers, and the mountains are only 30 min. away.

    Stay away from: Lawrenceburg!!!, Harrodsburg, Taylorsville, Shelbyville, Winchester, Richmond, Georgetown, Mt. Sterling
