Watch Before Moving! | Pros and Cons | Frankfort Kentucky

[@jeffruebens8355]

I moved to Frankfort KY in 1991. What stands out to me are the lack of mosquitos from the limestone rock underground, and the bourbon and horse industries. I work for state government, and my wife does horse insurance. I moved from near Rochester NY so the winters seem mild to me, severe for someone in Florida. The bourbon distilleries smells are called angel share by bourbon drinkers, and Baptists might call it the smell of evil since most do not believe in drinking. There are a large number of Baptists and Republicans here, maybe in the 60 percent range. When the inside of the new oak barrels are charred it is a smoke smell, adding the yeast to the fermentation tanks causes a grain smell, the stills have no smell while they remove most of the water, and the barrels slowly losing water and alcohol have sort of a musty fungus smell as they age. It is good to live about 20 miles from Lexington, so house prices are less but it is a short drive to do bigger city stuff.

lol, I can't imagine calling the winters in Frankfort "brutal". They're like a light summer breeze compared to the other places I've lived, New England and North Dakota.

I've never experienced a northern winter myself! The farthest north I've lived is in Cincinnati, not terribly far north but there was a difference to what I was used too! Thanks for watching and commenting on the video! If you or anyone you know ever needs help finding their next home or needs help selling their current home, I'd sure appreciate the referral!

I've lived in Wyoming. I've also lived in Huntington WV. The air in KY and WV is damp. It sucks the cold out of you. It's not as bad as WYOMING. But it is a different kind of cold. 25 feels like 5 sometimes. @@livinginlexingtonkentucky

I was interested until the crime portion. Frankfort is too small to deal with any portion that might be worrisome. Though I am currently spoiled in WY. I work at a newspaper and there isn’t anything going on in that department.

I’m interested in moving there,looking to rent apt or a home

Hi there, I wanted to follow up with you and see how your search process is going. Just shoot me an email at [e-mail] or give me a call/text at 502-758-8138.

Frankfort is very ratchet, unfortunately because its so small everybody knows everybody so basically everybody knows your business and what they don't know, they make up🙄, rent is getting ridiculously high but compared to other cities I can't complain. The distilleries make the air smell like poop....like really FOUL🤢🤮 . One good thing about living here though is crime is not bad. If someone commits what would be considered a big crime 9 times outta ten we already knew the person and everyone saw it coming. Most of the trouble makers are always in jail so it stays pretty safe. I recommend living on the Westside, it's a little more expensive but there's more to do and the schools are better. I think law enforcement does a great job out here keeping the community safe. And the churches in Frankfort are very helpful to the community as well. I will say I disagree with what you said about traffic. That's how I knew you're not from here lol. If your truly from FrankNitty there is no such thing as traffic. Rush-hour exists everywhere. Once you clock out for the day of course everybody's tryna make it home. No matter where you live between the hours of 3 and 5 everyone is tryna get home. And don't go to kroger at that time either. It gets PACKED lol. Poverty is pretty bad out here, the homeless community is pretty big. But luckily we have lots of churches that love on them. That's all I can think of right now. Been living here for over 25 years.

What folks don't know about someone should not get put into the streets. Folks should mind their own business. Folks need to be respectful to one another. I am glad to know that it is safe there in Frankfort. I just went to the Frankfort Walmart. I came from Lexington to Frankfort. I thought they had KSU T Shirts there. Come to find out, OK they did not have any.
