Moving to Kentucky?
Fabulous choice! It may be known for bourbon and horseracing, but there’s a whole lot more to find in the Bluegrass State. Whether you’re looking for a vibrant university town, some solitude in the state’s forests, waterfalls, and caves, or simply a taste of Southern culture, you’ll find it in Kentucky.
And before you ask, there’s more than just fried chicken, thoroughbreds, and mint juleps in Kentucky. It’s got a unique culture all its own, from the search for the perfect Kentucky Hot Brown (it’s not just a sandwich, it’s an experience!) and burgoo, to a Southern slang unlike anything else in the region, to abundant wildlife and outdoor experiences.
Best of all? Kentucky is affordable. With a cost of living well below the national average, you can stretch your dollars a long way in Kentucky. While the median income in Kentucky is also below the national average, the low cost of living (and all the cultural and natural beauty) isn’t a bad trade-off.
