Radcliff

• Town in Kentucky
• 60 reviews

Current Resident: For the most part Radcliff is like any other town in the United States, a place to go to school, work, live and have a family. A comfortable, mostly safe town that has just a few unfilled potholes and uncut lawns but the character comes from the less than average that Radcliff has to offer. It is diverse in its people, from the veterans due to the close proximity to Fort Knox to the activities it provides from the high school. Radcliff does have a budget problem, being the small town it is and can get quiet boring but it has a interesting history that can pull anyone into it.

West Buechel

• Suburb of Louisville, KY
• 4 reviews

Current Resident: I really love living down here! It is such an accepting environment with such diversity! Not much for night life of a few local shops and schools that are pretty good, and if you want to go anywhere it is about a fifteen minute drive all over Louisville.

Iroquois

• Neighborhood in Louisville, KY
• 1 review

Niche User: I thought it was pretty decent because it covered all the important services your area could offer. It also covers the main reasons why someone might or might not move to an area, such as; crime, employment, and simply how well developed it is. Though I do think it could have included some questions like," would you raise your children here," or ,"do you feel safe walking the streets at night." In other words, questions that could evoke a strong response from somebody.

Worthington Hills

• Suburb of Louisville, KY
• 4 reviews

Niche User: I enjoy living in Louisville Kentucky. Many tourists love Louisville, there are many attractions. Of course I grew up here so I have been able to experience everything Louisville offers multiple times. I would love to one day go & travel one day. Go to other states with exciting attractions, amusement parks, different country's. If I could re-live all over again in Louisville I would, I rank this area a "Great" Its a great city. Whenever I go places people are friendly and always smiling. In the future of Louisville I see it expanding more with its tourists attractions and more family friendly things to do here. I also see the school system expanding because of the growing population of Louisville, and the curriculum to get a little more competitive and challenging.

Shively

• Suburb of Louisville, KY
• 24 reviews

Current Resident: Shively is a very diverse neighborhood. It is filled with great people who love to be around and help each other. When I first moved in to the Shively area, I met a lot of new friends in my neighborhood and at the schools in Shively. Everyone in Shively mainly has good relationships with others and has good safety with the Shively police department being right next to Shively Park and in the middle of Shively. Also, Shively is a very affordable neighborhood for any and all different types of people. One more thing about Shively is that it has a variety of job opportunities at almost every corner in the Shively neighborhood. The only thing I would like to see change about the neighborhood is hosting more community events for children to be involved.

Louisville

• City in Kentucky
• 712 reviews

Current Resident: As a high school student living in the suburbs, my experience living Louisville is very different than, for example, a 20-something in the Highlands. However, your experience would be different no matter what depending on where you live in the city. Louisville is a very active and diverse community perfect for anyone. The large metro population makes for a great city feel while not being overwhelmingly populated or full of traffic like NYC or LA. Local restaurants and shops are great, as well as city events like Thunder Over Louisville, Kentucky Oaks & Derby, Forecastle Festival, the Kentucky State Fair, and Waterfront Wednesdays. In fact, the Kentucky Derby alone is enough to convince someone to move here in my opinion. It's not as big of a city as Nashville or Cincinnati, but that doesn't mean Louisville feels like a small town compared to them, either. Overall, Louisville is a great place to live and work!

South Louisville

• Neighborhood in Louisville, KY
• 6 reviews

Current Resident: The South End of Louisville is full of many things that makes it special. Hard working families that like to enjoy the outdoors in the many parks and at the plentiful restaurants along Dixie Hwy. You will find a diverse amount of shopping and car lots along with arts and craft stores. The true gem of the South End is the historical Waverly Hill Sanatorium and Greenwood Road Boat Docks. You can't forget to stop for a fish sandwich at Mike Lining's, 50+ years of great food in the same location right by the Ohio River.

Taylor Berry

• Neighborhood in Louisville, KY
• 2 reviews

Current Resident: I like the friendliness of my neighbors, I like the diversity that one sees walking or driving around the area. The overall atmosphere is good, what I do not like is there are some run down houses. In addition, not everyone takes pride in cleanliness and general appearance of their property and neighborhood.
Safety wise I have had no encounters or events to share. I would say I feel sufficiently safe in this neighborhood. As a first time home buyer safety, affordability, and appearance are everything. In conclusion I would say that this neighborhood for the most part, passes on all of those aspects.

Hopkinsville

• Town in Kentucky
• 86 reviews

Niche User: There is a lot of positive momentum going on in here! There is a large new shopping center under construction which will include a Hobby Lobby, TJ Maxx, Ross, PetSmart, Maurices, Rack Room Shoes, and several others. Another retail center nearby is scheduled to begin construction next year. Several other smaller retail centers have opened or are under construction. We have a great Greenway System rail trail and a popular water park. There are many additional new projects in the works, including infrastructure. We have a four-year university campus which offers Bachelor's and Master's degrees as well as a progressive Community College which is adding a new Emerging Technologies Center and will include many new Allied Health programs, including Pharmacy Technology, Paramedic Technology, Radiography, Respiratory Care, Physical Therapy Assistant, and possibly Medical Laboratory Technology. There are many industries located here in 3 industrial parks plus a mega-site under development. Hopkinsville is also the best site in the world to view the Solar Eclipse next year with the longest duration.

Oak Grove

• Town in Kentucky
• 16 reviews

Current Resident: We have lived in Oak Grove, KY for about a year and a half now. We moved here from South Georgia. We bought a house easily and for a decent price, because the housing market is great. I have nothing but great things to say about Oak Grove, at least our neighborhood. I have heard of crime in other parts of Oak Grove, but I have yet to experience any of it myself. My favorite thing about our town is the free community center with access to a nice gym, computers and printing, fitness classes, and more. It is a family friendly place with a lot to do in the spring and summer months. We went to the Salute to Summer Festival here in Oak Grove last year and had a blast. We don't have kids so I have no idea how the schools are. It's also not far from Nashville if you are looking for fun nightlife.

Cloverleaf

• Neighborhood in Louisville, KY
• 5 reviews

Current Resident: Cloverleaf is a great neighborhood because it is quiet and the neighbors are kind and are good friends. Although most of the residents are older than most, they are so sweet and don;t bother others in an annoying way. The neighborhood as a whole is really beautiful and the landscaping is kept looking more than exceptional for visitors, friends, and whomever decides to drive through the neighborhood. I love Cloverleaf and feel safe as can be.

Lexington

• City in Kentucky

Current Resident: Lexington is a great city to be apart of! It is a very active city with lots of day & night life activities. Downtown is very safe and there are plenty of options for parking. The variety of food, shopping, and cultural activities are abundant during the day. There are many bars for college students and older adults, activities, and event to attend at night. Overall, even with city traffic and construction, I rate the city 5 out of 5 stars!

Elizabethtown

• Town in Kentucky
• 95 reviews

Current Resident: Many parents would consider Elizabethtown, Kentucky their dream town. It is a small town with a little bit of everything. There are three public high schools in Elizabethtown. Downtown Elizabethtown is the historical part of town while the rest of Elizabethtown is more modern. This is a very safe town with friendly residents. This is the type of town many return to after college because it is the perfect place to raise a family at. Neighboring Louisville give residents a short trip to a city with even more to offer. Elizabethtown also has a community college that many high school graduates choose to go to. This town continues to grow and expand. A new movie theater with reclining seats was recently built along with an indoor trampoline park that. Those are two of many places kids here love to attend. With everything close by makes getting to a from a store or place very convenient. Elizabethtown, Kentucky is the perfect small town.
