Flemingsburg features a rustic, small-town atmosphere
In Flemingsburg, laidback living among the hills of northeast Kentucky comes with access to amenities here and around the wider region. This 230-year-old community of 3,000 is full of classic houses, all close to a mixture of restaurants, stores, public schools and historic churches. That’s all while preserving the tranquil atmosphere that’s a draw for some homebuyers. “If you’re looking for a place that’s rural, with neighbors not close by and that neighborhood feel when you go into town, this could be a place that people would like,” says Cindy Shetterly, a local Realtor with Keller Williams for the past 10 years.
The total population of Flemingsburg is 2,995.
