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
