I need help in the Louisville, Kentucky Area Please

[Jason Fletcher]

Hello all, I'm in the Georgia area and my son is transferring with the Coast Guard to Louisville, KY next month. I am trying to help him find a decent clean area for him to live in. He is going to be renting an apartment there and is on a military budget so nothing class A. I'm looking for individuals who can help me with the area on letting me in the know of better cities in a 20 mile radius around Louisville into Indiana and possible recommendations for living. Thank you all in advance.

I grew up in Southern Indiana and have always worked with people from Louisville.  As strange as it seems, people from Louisville will not go to Indiana except for work. If you som wants to have any sort of social life- with his co-workers or people he meets- he'll want to live in Louisville. Yes- it will cost more.  But, and I assume your son is in his 20's, avery venue for music, every restaraunt his group makes plans to go to, every bar- everything will be in Louisville.  Try hosting a cook out or having your buddies over to watch the big game- you'll be pulling teeth to get them to cross that bridge. I moved to Louisville from New Albany in 1981 and have NEVER regretted that move of ten miles. Remember the three most important things to remember in RE- Location, Location, Location. Plop down in the Highlands close to Bardstown Road and he will have plenty of friends.
