Townhomes for Sale in Central City, KY

For decades, Central City was a coal-mining community in Muhlenberg County. “The coal that we have burns nicely, but it has a high sulfur content,” says Dr. Freddie Mayes, lifelong resident and executive director of Central City Tourism. As environmental concerns grew, the coal industry shrank. Mayes says that the community is “on the verge of rebirth" now, with businesses like Central Screen Printing, Brewco Marketing Group and several sawmill companies expanding in the area. Even with all of this growth, Central City maintains its easy pace of life with local eateries, several churches and community pride. The area also has a rich music heritage, which can be seen at its music museum and in the bronze statues of the Everly Brothers and John Prine in Festival Square. While homes in the city center are laid out on a grid shaded by mature oak trees, those farther out are on sprawling lots of at least an acre. The oldest properties date back to the early 20th century, including bungalows and ranch-style houses. New Traditional residences are more common in the southern parts of the area. Prices for single-family and manufactured homes generally range from $110,000 to $290,000,
