If you want scenorie, peace & quite, Bracken County has it. 1 hour from cincy and 1 hour from Lexington is where I live. homes vary from $30,000 & up, rarely above $150,000 & they are usually farms. I live in a story and a half home, purchased 20 yrs ago for $25,000.00 lots of remodeling later its worth $91,000.00. I would take $85,000.00 and move tomorrow. Raised 3 kids here and now its just me and my husband. to big. Believe me Bracken county is God's Country. where I live we just pumped in sunshine..............

From your description you want something a bit more rural.
-- Florence is strip mall hell (sorry for those that love it). I shop there wouldn't live there. Naturally I'm biased I live in Villa Hills. I live where I am only 12 miles from down town Cincy but it's very pretty in Villa. Lots of choices for houses and apartments. Maybe try northern ky for Cincy's job offers and /or Louisville's outskirts .. you can easily work downtown either city and have a small town to live in.

If you want to be close to Ohio, I am assuming easy access to 75 is important then? If so, try western boone county (like rural Burlington or Petersborough) or southern boone county.

Dry Ridge, Verona, Walton.. all are small towns but close enough to Florence you could work there in hospitality.

I wonder if Carrolton should also be on your pick list. It's close to a casino (I think Grand Victoria or Argosy). It's kinda rural but has a cute historic area, inexpensive.

Frankfort is a nice river town with a lot of historic neighborhoods, and more museums and parks than most places that size (28,000)

Also its only ~35 miles from Louisville and ~80 from Cincinnati

Can anyone tell me a place that has the LEAST amount of tornados in Kentucky? And how do you protect your horses. Our (9) horses are family and losing one to a tornado is not an option. Does anyone have underground shelters for the horses?

[tomocox]

Mountains and higher hills are "anti-tornado" factors as they not only pose windbreaks, but the valley and hills create currents that help to deter tornadoes.

I was born and lived over 1/2 my 56 years in Kentucky's tornado alley. I do not know of one horse or cow ever killed by a tornado. As a matter of fact, although on a volunteer fire/rescue department, I can not remember even one tornado injury to humans in the area.

Now, there was the occasional minor injury obviously, but putting your horse in a trailer to haul to a riding spot is much more dangerous than living in Kentucky's tornado alley.

I dont think there are many in Harlan. In fact the first EVER recorded was a couple years ago near the Harlan Hospital and US 421 bypass.

[dixiegirl7]

Tornadoes mostly occur in western and the central and southcentral parts of Kentucky. Not so much in the eastern part of the state. We have had fatalities here from tornadoes. I don't really know if any livestock has been killed by a tornado per se, but we had a hail storm about 11 years ago with hail the size of softballs that killed a few horses when it hit them in the head. That was very much a freak storm and something I hope to never see again.
