I'm looking to move to Kentucky because there's too many tourists here in Northern Georgia and I generally have a good time when I'm in Kentucky. Which city should I move to?

-I vote republican
-I don't like traffic
-I'd like to be around nice scenery

Based on that criteria, I'd suggest the Lexington or Frankfort area. That area of Kentucky is the only one I would ever consider in Kentucky.

Some of the area has gorgeous rolling countryside, winding roads and beautiful horse farms for miles.

Minimal traffic in either area, compared to Louisville especially, or Covington since it gets the Cincinnati traffic.

I wouldn't consider Louisville or Covington at all, but that's me personally.

Well I have also come across Williamstown (a small town between Lexington and Cinci). Is it a nice town?

There are a lot of nice areas, but if you're young (or just young-at-heart with an active mind) I'd suggest Lexington - home of the University of Kentucky. Newport and Covington used to have a gritty reputation (where Cincinnati and Dayton went to "sin") but this may have been cleaned up by now.

It's not much of a "town" at all. It's an interstate stop with several tourist attractions. If you're trying to get away from a touristy area, Williamstown is not the answer.

You first said you were considering Louisville or Cincinnati (Covington). The difference between Louisville or Cincinnati and a place like Williamstown is quite extreme.

Do you want to live in a big city, a suburb, a small town, a rural area? What's your work situation?

What I really want is to live in a rural town less than an hour away from a city (a best of both worlds if you may). I just asked about the cities themselves so I actually get answers.

A non-touristy town within an hour of either Louisville or Cincinnati. Now that should help to narrow it down

Have you thought of posting in the Kentucky forum?

Bardstown is a very cool place, but it might be too touristy for your liking as it's home to lots of distilleries and historical sites.

Shelbyville is pretty nice.

What about Taylorsville?

I found my spot in Maysville, an hour from both Cincinnati and Lexington. Beautiful rural area with Maysville being a small town of about 8,800 people on the Ohio River. The area is very historic and scenic.

Looks nice but there doesn't seem to be any lakes nearby. Is Flemingsburg nice?
