situation advancing now - I will reframe my questions soon specific to advice on living separate from my family in Lex and how to balance that economically with quality accommodations etc

Sorry for the edits - but that's b/c of positive news actually

You would looooooooove the Masterson Station area. They need a neighbor like you.

Real answer: Buy some land out in the 'country' somewhat near your work and build your own place. I love this city, but I hate driving in this city.

Pros:

Safe
Inexpensive
Decent schools
Keeneland
Proximity to Cin Lou Ind
Proximity to Gorge
Raven Run
Place to raise kids
UK

Cons:
No downtown
News media sucks.
Property taxes
Fat people
Traffic flow
boring.
It’s tough to make quality friends if your not from there.

Located 20min south of Lexington lies this beautiful 2000sqft nuclear/biological fallout shelter, and it comes with a nice house, barn, acreage, and a silo.

Cool story, bro

It doesn't involve 2 hour bus rides, so I guess that would be a PRO.

And a mother-in-law incinerator.

No downtown? Funny, but I have worked in what appears to be a "downtown" for about 40 years, has bars, restaurants, banks, lawyers, accountants and condos. Who knew there is no downtown in Lexington. :smiley:

It has one—but it’s lame.

That bunker is probably better than most of our houses. Oh who am I kidding? This is the Paddock. That mansion is probably a dump compared to what most here are living in.

Assuming you're single, no family?

Get a condo downtown. Contrary to the opinion in this thread, downtown Lexington has gotten substantially better over the last few years. There is plenty of good food and lots of good bars.

If you've got kids you need to take schools into consideration.

OP is coming from Atlanta.

 

[Tskware]

OP is coming from Atlanta.

Well, no, not quite a downtown like Atlanta, but then outside of about five or six cities in America, not many will quite compare.

 

[vhcat70]

I love this city, but I hate driving in this city.

People there just prefer sitting in traffic vs. getting anywhere.

I mean, if you're looking for a fixer upper this might be an OK choice.

Oh. Well that makes a difference.

Arizona. He moved.

 

[funKYcat75]

Wyvern was a rolling stone.
Where'er the tunnels led was his home

Phoenix? Heck I’d stay put.

Holy.. how is that ONLY 6.5 million?

 

[mashburned]

Some people like KY and some even choose to move there. Some people don’t even care about downtown scenes. Deal with it.

 

[LowerLevelSeatA]

So who owns the $6.5 million house in Richmond?

I figured it was @Phil_The_Music ’s weekend place.

Lexington is a tough nut to crack. Great place but can feel very cliquey to outsiders.

I know nothing of Lexington at this point other than UK was one giant construction zone when I visited about 3 years ago. The place did seem to be booming. I do think driving in just about any metro area in America is hated. If you want great two lanes to drive on move to Wyoming. Just watch out for the cattle, they have the right of way.

That’s true, we just have a few antiquated portions of major roads that don’t make a lot of sense. Little too late to fix it now though. They’re trying at least.

 

[Kaizer Sosay]

Lock up yo’ daughters and hide the sheets! Wyvern is moving to town.

Rubric, I hear that there’s a really nice house with a tiny pool in the heart of Lextown that would be just perfect for you, brother.

 

[BlueVelvetFog]

@Mashburned knows I love his hideous ***, btw

 

[VT/UK Rondo]

For city living, Lexington isn't bad. It's relatively clean and doesnt have the crime, gang and prostitution rates that alot of cities are plagued with. There is enough to do without having to deal with alot of tourists. Traffic can be bad at times but that's expected. Weather is bearable.

 

[BlueVelvetFog]

If you’re over 25, dating scene really sucks

I enjoy a good Atlanta mugging

Sorta like Hazard? Maysville? Carrollton? Madisonville?

 

[BlueVelvetFog]

Sorta like Hazard? Maysville? Carrollton? Madisonville?

No one has a reason to move to those clap holes

 

[funKYcat75]

I could live in Maysville. A dollar goes a long way there.

Kind of like Gyero with sidewalks.
