OT - looking into relocation to Louisville area, Bowling Green or Lexington

We're all full here in Lexington

If you are set on being 15/20 minutes from one of our three “urban” areas, I would suggest Oldham County, just a tad East of Louisville with easy Interstate access to downtown.

If Lexington, I would suggest Jessamine County, just to the South of Fayette (Lexington) with 10/15 minute access to downtown (except at Christmas shopping season, and the first week of the college students coming back to campus.)

Bowling Green/Warren County has always appealed to me in a different way: an urban area where you can drive forever and never feel like you are in a city of more than 5,000 people . . . very spread out and (to me) a very chill, laid-back atmosphere.

I presume you're referring to BG/Warren as KY's 3rd "urban" area. Well, NKy's Kenton Cty is larger than Warren, and Boone is nearly as large & growing fast - by KY standards. With Campbell, the metro is nearly as large as Lexington.

Actually, I think the three counties up there (Boone, Campbell and Kenton) are larger than Fayette, plus very close to Cincinnati. N Ky would be my third choice 10-1 over Bowling Green area (although Olde Stone is one of the best golf courses in Kentucky)

Yes, “Greater Cincinnati” slipped my mind, completely.

Mmmmm.

To each, their own.

Just got back from Florida was going to say driving 75 in Tennessee is like driving on a creek bed. When I hit the Ky line it was smooth as glass!! Thanks Andy!!

Best place to see Mempho is in your rear view mirror

Lives there 86-92

Daughter and grandkids live there

It has gotten immeasurably worse since 1992 — a lost cause.

Thanks all for the responses — I appreciate it. Like someone said I don’t really give a lot of info about what I’m looking for, interests and that stuff — that’s on me.

I’m also considering Northwest Arkansas and a couple other places.

I think bottom line is I’m going to have to take some time off work - get my butt in the car and head to Kentucky and spend some time in these places and do some scouting.

Again - appreciate you all, and the info yall posted - I really do.

I’m not savvy about the geography of Arkansas but Walton’s grandson has been transforming Bentonville. He is considered the next in line as Chairman, preemptively, he wanted to make Bentonville an area that people want to live, thereby making it easier to attract top talent.
