Thinking of moving to Berea KY (Lexington: apartments, homes, college)

[lendingheart]

Please if you live in Berea, or ever did please tell me about it.

Community activities, churches, schools, cost of living, youth groups, book clubs.... everything.

It seems like it may be the perfect place for me, but i could be wrong... please help!

We are a christian family ( living in kentucky close to berea) Man and wife and one son. We love nature, hiking, arts, and God.

Please be honest about Berea... looks can be deceiving!

PS please pm link for homes and apartments to rent so i can see how the costs range.

If you are into the Appalachian culture you will love Berea. It's small, quite, clean, and beautiful. Its also very close to the huge shopping area located off Man O War I-75 exit in Lexington, so on those days when you need that many choices you are maybe 30 minutes away. Berea College is the location of the Appalachian archives. The town revolves around bluegrass music, traditional bluegrass dance, traditional mountain arts and crafts, and preserving the Appalachian culture. Hopefully it will never get discovered by a celebrity and turned into another Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Berea is the real deal, not the Hallmark version. Yes, congratulate yourself, you have found a wonderful place.

berea has lots to offer i think by how you describe yourself you'd fit right in, however some people in recent years have started "art" fairs, lol we all know what "art" attracts, so if those weirder folk who come to town now and then do not bother you, you'll like Berea
