Well, blue, you spelled that question out very clearly. Your grade is an A++!

How does Hardin County rate ? I mean the people, property tax, and commodities, not to mention crime rate.

I currently live in Berea, Ky, I am going to Eastern Kentucky University which is 12 mile drive. I don't recommend Berea (sorry if I offend) it is just way too small, if I want to anything with my family (shopping, entertainment, we still have to go to Richmond where the university is). I lived in Lexington, Ky for a year, they have everything you could want for shopping and entertainment, just no yard to play in. I am from Paducah, KY on the west side of the state. Paducah is where I would live again and again, in fact I can not wait till I am done with school. Paducah has a mall, 2 super walmarts, 3 Krogers. There is 2 bowling alleys and a movie theatre, plus outside of Paducah there is a drive in cinaplex. There is Land Between the lakes for the water enthusiasts and plenty of land on the outskirts of town for those wanting 5-100 acres of land all to themselves and a 15-30 minute drive to town. If you want serious shopping then Clarksville/Nashville is 1.5 to 2 hours south, St. Louis is 3 hours west, Chicago 7 hours Northwest, Louisville 4 hours east. Paducah even has an airport outside of town for easy traveling in the skys. Yet it is a small town, we don't lock the doors or cars majority of the time. Our schools are good and not overpopulated. We have the quilt show every year (april I think) and we have a special relocation program for artist to relocate. If you like to gamble Harrahs Casino is a 15 minute drive from Paducah across the river in Illinois.

Central KY - Danville is a great place to consider or maybe just south such s Moreland, Hustonville, etc. Conveniently located about 30 miles from Lexington and great things to offer you as you enjoy hiking, and just enjoying life.

Where is "there" as with anyplace, you kinda need to know the location, location, location of the property.

Need a little more info.

What is a low price to you? How close do you need to be to a city? Does your huband need to be near a hospital for work or for health care? Most people think Lexington when someone says Central Kentucky. There are a lot of great small towns in Central Kentucky.

Thanks. The other two places we are interested in are Winchester and Ashland in that order. I suppose we should be near a major city.
