1. Prospect - Prospect earned its number one spot by having the lowest reported property crime rate in all of Kentucky as well as only one violent crime reported in 2012. The city is ideal for families looking for safety and comfort with a variety of housing options for families of all income levels. This includes spacious homes with a median value that is more than three times the median housing value of the entire state, located in friendly suburbs like The Landings, Fox Harbor, and Hunting Creek.

 

According to the latest census figures, Prospect also has the highest per capita income in Kentucky, making the city still more attractive to families looking for new and better job opportunities.

 

 

2. Greenville - Having reported no violent crimes in 2012, Greenville has proven itself as a safe and thriving city for families. It’s also a prime destination for military families, as it hosts the Wendell H. Ford Regional Training Center, which is the premiere training facility of the National Guard.

 

In Greenville, you’ll never run out of fun things to do. Grab a classic diner cheeseburger at My Friends Place. Or take a stroll through The Duncan Center Museum and Art Gallery or the city’s historic downtown area, where you’ll enjoy 24-hour acoustic music playing in the streets as you pass the area’s plethora of unique shops, restaurants, and other local businesses. Greenville is also quickly becoming a regional hub for entertainment, providing year-round access to various small town festivals and events, such as Saturdays on the Square.

 

 

3. Hodgenville - Hodgenville takes a firm stand against crime, as it reported no murders or arsons and boasts the third lowest reported property crime rate in the state for 2012. From its humble beginnings, this city has grown into a safe and efficient town with a picturesque downtown that plays off its rich history with antique and specialty shops, such as Almost Home and Buried Treasure Thrift Shop, and the occasional horse and carriage ride.

 

Part of its rich history includes the birth of President Abraham Lincoln in a small cabin at a farm near Hodgenville. The Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site, located in the city, memorializes this event. In fact, many of the things to do and see in Hodgenville center around President Lincoln, including The Lincoln Museum, Boy Lincoln Statue, and Lincoln Jamboree. If you love living among historical sites, Hodgenville is a great choice.

I've been pulled over in Prospect.

 

At the time I was driving a beat up old car I bought in high school.

 

I'm still certain it's why I was pulled over... though going a couple mph over the limit is all Prospect police need. They're almost as bad as Anchorage.

 

Hate driving through Prospect.

Agreed until I saw Erlanger/Elsmere.

Impressive, I'm a big fan of the NKY area. Lots of solid options close to a big city (Cincy).

Lawrenceburg at #9, my town. Well, we won't be on the list next year...some may remember, a ball player I coach had his dad murdered back last summer. Sad situation that was.

Solid coaching...

Hard to believe that some of these places are big enough to be called cities!
