Driving Tour (Louisville, Henderson: rent, house, transfer)

[sillygal]

Any place in particular I should look at for a place to relocate too? I would like a place on the river........preferably historical in nature with a thriving downtown. I do have to work for about 15 more years, but can pretty much transfer with my job. I don't want to have to move again when I retire......UGH!

I do love to walk, and bike ride so greenways, and squarely set neighborhoods keep it fun and interesting, so does having water nearby.

I also love hanging out at privately owned coffeeshop/used bookstore type establishments, as well as maybe concerts in the park, a jazz club! I am an older single lady so schools are not of utmost importance, but a nice college nearby for classes would be awesome. Can't have everything though! or can I?

Anyhow........As I said, I would like to tour some places I would eventually like to relocate too. So, I thought I would look at some places in KY. I would probably drive up from NC, and maybe do a circle type thing.

Are there any places like I mentioned that I should be SURE, NOT to miss?

Because I have been to other places, and taken tours and when I got home, I had missed some places I forgot to see.....

You just described Louisville. It would fit you well. check it out

How about some of the other places in KY on the river, do any of the others have what I am looking for ? I can take like a little circle tour!

And not sure if I can still rent for $425 in Louisville for a studio!, and if it would be in a good area. Or pick up a house for $100,000 or less.

Henderson fits your criteria perfectly. It's a mini-metro or a house in the woods, or a look over the Ohio, maybe the Green River. Good taxes and lower utility rates.

I lived there for some of my happiest years from 1979 to 1991
