Imagine waking up to a view of the lake in the spring, or taking a leisurely stroll down your neighborhood in the fall.   Marshall County and its communities offer abundant choices of lifestyles.  A 160,300 acre lake is just at your fingertips.  If that isn't enough, the beautiful seasons and southern hospitality should do the trick.

Using a combination of factors, Rand McNally, in it's 1987 edition, placed the Murray/Kentucky Lake area at the top of its list of 131 "Retirement Places Rated".  The ranking comes from our low housing costs, established public transit system, accredited hospitals, a good supply of physicians and medical specialists, a high rating for public safety and its proximity to the largest outdoor recreation area in Kentucky.

Our moderate climate is a natural draw for people who enjoy leisurely outdoor activities.  Temperatures range from an average daily high of 44 degrees in January to 90 degrees in July.

If a small-town atmosphere is calling your name, look no further.  You can find tree-lined streets and single-family housing, making this a community for all ages.  A new added feature to Marshall County is the Mike Miller County Park located in Draffenville.  This beautifully landscaped park features walking trails, an outdoor soccer complex, several ball fields, a playground, a stocked lake and several covered, picnic area scattered throughout the park.  This is an ideal place to hold family gatherings, reunions or an afternoon outing.  Young and old alike will enjoy this new county facility.

There is a marked difference between Marshall County and other resort-retirement communities.  Most of the area's newest housing developments have been small subdivisions with several lake area condominiums.   There is plenty of "breathing space" to insure comfort and privacy.  Plenty of choices are available when looking for property.  If the lake is calling your name, choose from the many lakefront properties with lake access.  Just imagine waking up to a beautiful sunrise over the lake from the back porch.

One of the area's unique retirement communities is Lakeland Wesley Village, located near Kentucky Lake.  This apartment complex, sponsored by the United Methodist Church, offers senior citizens security, grounds maintenance, religious activities, entertainment, recreation, beauty shop and laundry facilities all within a controlled environment.

In Western Kentucky, the quality of life is high with beautiful scenery, a touch of southern charm and hospitality all within a short drive of a beautiful lake in an area with easy access to everywhere.  For a retirement information packet, call the Marshall County Chamber of Commerce at 270-527-7665 or visit their website by clicking here .
