OT - looking into relocation to Louisville area, Bowling Green or Lexington
- Thread starter OneStopReb
- Start date
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)
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!!

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.
Northwest Arkansas is growing rapidly. Waltons are trying to make it a mountain biking and arts mecca. The new home office is ridiculous.
I love my Grant County just below Kenton County. We are still considered Northern KY barely but I basically have lived here my whole life (minus my younger years in Kenton and Campbell counties) of course it's changed for the worse over the years which sucks. It's country and not city which is what we like. Our end game though is probably Florida or somewhere it's nice and warm year round.
Have friends and family in Bowling Green and Louisville. Both are great places and both have good options for food, sites, entertainment. I live in Lex area, cannot complain here as well. Will say that living outside Lexington to me is more enjoyable. I have lived in Lexington most my life, NKY area and outside of Lexington. 60 years worth. Winchester is a nice place without many good food options but Hamburg is about 18 minutes away.
If you decide on the Louisville area, Mt Washington in Bullitt County is a great place to live. Not a ton of food options outside of fast food but we have a few sit downs. Super close to Broad Run Park which is part of the Parklands that connects 3 parks that's part of the "Louisville Loop". It's one of the best things the city of Louisville has ever done IMO. When we moved out here 23 years ago, we wanted to get away from Louisville but also be close. We're somewhat sandwiched between Louisville and Bardstown. The school system is really good and you won't find much in the way of violent crime and the like out here. The only problem that has risen over the years is the population is booming here. At one time Mt Washington was the fastest growing city in the State and they've done a lot here to accomodate the increase in population. A LOT of former Louisvillians live here. It's a great area to live in and raise a Family.
off topic, but if you want to see a ridiculous home office, look up the Epic Campus in Verona, WI. Epic is the software Company that controls all your medical records if you use anything like MyChart. Their Campus is just insane. Look it up on the Google maps.
