People considering a move to Kentucky may be interested in reading user reviews to get a sense of what it's like to live there. After reviewing many user comments on BestPlaces.net, it's clear that the state offers a unique mix of small-town charm and big-city opportunities. Here are some excerpts from four different user reviews that highlight different aspects of living in Kentucky.
1. Review by Sarah J.: "I've lived in Kentucky my whole life and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else! The people are friendly, the scenery is beautiful, and the cost of living is affordable. Plus, the food is amazing - you can't go wrong with the fried chicken and biscuits."
2. Review by John R.: "I moved to Kentucky from a big city and I've been pleasantly surprised by how welcoming and tight-knit the community is. It's a slower pace of life here, but I appreciate being able to escape the hustle and bustle. The only downside is that there aren't as many job opportunities, especially in certain fields. But overall, I'm happy to call Kentucky home."
3. Review by Emily M.: "I've lived in several states and Kentucky is by far my favorite. The natural beauty is breathtaking and there's always something to do, whether it's hiking in the mountains or checking out the local festivals. Plus, the cost of living is so much lower than where I used to live. I definitely recommend giving Kentucky a chance!"
4. Review by Mark K.: "I've lived in Kentucky my whole life and while there are definitely some great things about living here, there are also some challenges. The summers can be brutally hot and the winters can be quite cold. And unfortunately, there are some areas that are struggling economically. But overall, I still love the friendly people and the slower pace of life here."

general information - 11/30/2009
Eastern Kentucky, especially Martin and Floyd Co., is one of the most trashy areas I've ever been in. There is trash all over the sides of the roads, along and in creeks and streams, and just about everywhere you look. They do have "adopt a highway" program for interstate 23, but other than that the place looks like its the trash dump sight for the entire state. It may be a poor area but that is no excuse to live in filth. While I lived there rodents, snakes, and all kinds or insects infested the area due to the filth. This state should be ashamed of itself for not doing more to try to clean the place up. A huge bonfire would do a whole lot of good as a starting point. I can't wait until my job relocates me out of this area. The people are nice for the most part, but they don't seem to care that the place is a

Forget Kentucky! Don't move here or you will regre - 5/3/2008
I have had the misfortune of living in Kentucky for the past 10 years. I have lived in three areas, Edmonton, Hardyville, and now Cave City, while having visited other areas as well. Every place in Kentucky is generally the same. The people are really rude unless they think you have money and then they are super nice to you. They are EXTREMELY nosey and ask all sorts of personal questions. Every house we have bought here we have had to have fixed up because people here don't take care of anything, and then every person we had hired ripped us off in one way or another and did a half-assed job to boot. We've gotten to where we fix what we can ourselves, (and we do a much better job than these "professionals.") The people don't care about their appearance and they either wear what they can afford from Army surplus or the Good Will. Most of their money goes towards ciggarettes and alcohol. And it doesn't matter if there are no smoking signs, people here smoke wherever they want. Manners

Raise your family here in Louisville! - 12/25/2007
I am a physician with a pursuit of a Master's. I have lived in NYC, Boston, Philadelphia and the Seattle area. Louisville is the most gracious, friendly, open town I have lived in. I am conservative and it has been a breath of fresh air to live with people who accept differences in people, yet stand firm in their own beliefs. I have experienced the rath of liberalism and their inability to allow differing opinions from their own to coexist. Louisville allows this, while embracing a local heritage, kindness and faith like no other. You can have the large metropolis, the crime, the traffic, the rudeness, the lack of tolerance in the places I have lived! Louisville is a breath of fresh air in a world of

Not bad. Nice place, nice town, and nice people. - 4/3/2007
I can tell you that this is one of the nicest cities of the whole state. Not a bad place to live, and the people are friendly, there are plenty to do, and lots of places to shop and see. (Lake Cumberland if you get the chance is breath taking.) There are drawbacks as there are with any place. But, I lived there for four years and I liked it for the most part. The summers are kind of hot and extremly humid. ( If you move here do not forget to get a home with a/c.) The jobs aren't that great and don't pay very well unless you have a degree. Then they are still kind of hard to find. (Hope you like long commutes!) If you don't like alot of snow then the winters are nice. Not much snow and ice but still a little cold dropping below freezing a few times. Make sure to secure a job before you move here! Although, the cost of living here is not that bad. I don't have a degree and I had no trouble living in the main part of the city. But, if you can't stand humid weather than don't move
