Calvert City? (Paducah, Livingston: home, college, taxes)

[cindysid]

We are considering moving to Ky from Cape Coral, Fl to find an older home with acreage to retire on. Does anyone have knowledge or an opinion of Calvert City? I am not looking for a place with a lot to do. My husband and I usually manage to entertain ourselves by working in the yard, going fishing, etc. What is life like there?

LOL to funny I just had some friends move up here from Cape Coral, last fall.

Calvert is the small industrial town, I've heard some complain of odors from the factories and some others not. It's a nice location as far as it's near the lakes and the LBL, near Paducah and shopping. Marshall co taxes are high for the area, less than FL but high for here. it varies throughout the county but it averages .99 per $100 or about that. There is some nice farm land cheaper north of Calvert in Livingston Co and Lyon Co.

What's live like? Laid back and relaxed for the most part.

Sounds like you are looking in the right area, southwestern Ky.
The towns around here are small, friendly and laid back.
With great fishing on Barkley Lake or Kentucky Lake.
You should check out Trigg, Caldwell, Lyon, Livingston, Marshall and Calloway Counties.
To get to larger towns certain areas have Interstste 24, Western Ky Parkway and US 68.
Easy to get to larger town such as Paducah, KY and Nashville, TN.
And don't forget to check out "The Land Between the Lakes".
Some towns have state parks and even a college.
If you would like more information just let me know.
