Earlier I wrote about "Four Reasons" to buy a home in Lexington. Today I want to give four more reasons.
1) According to Women's Health Lexington was rated the ninth "Best Affordable Place to Retire." Lexington was noted as having "low property taxes and cost of living.
Personally my wife and I have noticed that this area seems to value senior citizens more than the Pacific Northwest. Kroger's is by far the largest food chain in the nation and gives everyone that is 60 or older a ten percent discount on everything in the store on the first Wednesday of the month. Many of the entertainment places have discounts on movie tickets, and some of the restuarants also have special menues or prices for us seniors. Retired teachers also pay no taxes on their income in Kentucky.
2) CNNMoney in 2009 reported that Lexington is the sixth best "Place to Start a Small Business." Lexington has excelled in growing its economy, having a pool of affordable stable housing markets, and keeping crime rates low. Business taxes are reasonable in Kentucky and their are lots of resources available to get assitance if you have a good business rating.
3) Lexington was rated the fifth best COLLEGE SPORTS TOWN in the nation by Forbes in 2009. Of course the rabid Kentucky Wildcat fan would argue that Lexington is NUMBER ONE. If you ever have a chance to visit the WILDCATS in Rupp Arena you do not want to miss the adventure. Twenty three thousand fans foaming at the mouth, the nations best cheer squad and very tall althletic basketball players create a caldron of frenzy that is something special to behold.
4) According to the 2011 Kiplinger report Lexington is the sixth most affordable city in the nation. With a cost of living index of 89.1 and a diversified economy Lexington has largely been protected from the recession affecting most of the nation.
So, why are you waiting? Your really should call me and come visit Lexington. 8596845890
