Suburban living outside Downtown Ashland
Just south of Downtown Ashland, but still part of the city, Valley View is a suburban area that becomes increasingly spacious and rural as it extends southward into Kentucky's hilly countryside. "The City limits of Ashland expand a far way, so even when you think you're out in the country, it's still the city technically. I have a lot of clients who prefer these areas because it has more of a hometown feeling," says Vineta Maynard, a local realtor with Realty Exchange Commercial/Residential Brokerage. Besides a handful of community churches, one of Valley View's only non-residential buildings is Charles Russell Elementary, located right on Russell Street. Most properties have spacious, grassy yards and lots range up to half an acre. Despite being removed from the city, residents of Valley View still have access to nearby amenities like a newly remodeled skate park and the city's main dog park.
