Looking in S IN (New Albany, Scottsburg: relocating, houses, work)

[cobolt]

I am considering relocating to the L-ville area (for work) and ultimately buying a house in S IN. I visited a friend a few years who worked in Lville and lived in New Albany (although I wasn't impressed with that particular town) I know there are little towns where I can purchase a nice small, older house with a bit of land---I do NOT want a subdivision, cookie-cutter deal, and yet do the drive to LVille for work. Floyds Knobs seems to be a viable option. I should also mention that my priorities are to live away from the hustle and bustle and to purchase an affordable home
150k is my cap. Anyone else have suggestions?

Scottsburg, IN area...just 29 miles up I-65 from Louisville, easy commute. The county has wireless broadband for telecommuters...for comparison...we just sold our 22 acre farm, brick home, new steel shop building, pond, fruit trees and more for $225K.

I would post this in the Louisville forums too. Floyds Knobs is a great little area. Don't discount New Albany..the town is making a slow but sure come back. If you have any questions about Louisville or its suburbs, feel free to PM me.

I have been searching all over southern IN as I plan on moving there in the spring of 08, and Henryville is affordable, has land and houses with character.
