Creekside character and historic Kentucky charm
Cradled between downtown Georgetown and North Elkhorn Creek, Boston is a peaceful Kentucky suburb that marries a serene and spacious location with a caring, neighborly community. The Ed Davis Learning Center stands as a reminder of Boston's community-oriented spirit by providing a safe space where local kids can hang out, participate in summer programs or access resources like tutoring and laptops to help with schoolwork. "My friends and I used to love going to Davis Park to play basketball," says Michael Prather, a local Realtor who was born and raised in Georgetown. Prather explains that, in addition to having large, leafy trees that make walks through the neighborhood more pleasant and shady, "Boston is loved by locals for its century-old houses that are full of charm and character. "Plus, it's directly north of downtown, so folks can always walk over there and explore fun restaurants, bars and art galleries." With Georgetown just steps south of the neighborhood and scenic Kentucky countryside right across North Elkhorn Creek, Boston community members don't have to go far from home to enjoy a lifestyle of leisure and beauty.

Century-old Victorians and fixer-upper potential
Walking through Boston, locals will notice a diverse range of trees, from silver maples to tulip poplars, which shade folks' lawns and backyards, and provide an extra layer of privacy between properties. Streets here take their names from the canopy above, and houses line everything from Oak Street to Sycamore Avenue to Spruce Alley. "It's pretty quiet here, so there's no traffic to worry about," says Prather. Instead, children climb on their playsets and dogs sniff the ground along their fenced-in backyards. The majority of homes here were built around the turn of the 20th century and reflect this community's rich history. Victorian design elements like pitched roofs, decorative gables, and expansive wrap-around front porches are common. "The market has also really been picking up here," says Prather. "And there are a lot of cool, older homes getting redone." The average sales price in Boston is $217,000, but vintage cottages, ramblers and Cape Cods can sell from as low as $100,000 to upwards of $300,000 depending on the level of renovations needed. Along Quail Run Drive, homebuyers will find larger all-brick Colonial Revivals and modern traditional styles, featuring five bedrooms and spacious floorplans of over 5,000 square feet. Price points for these homes start in the mid $500,000s and reach just over $700,000. Some houses along Barren River Boulevard also feature private water access to North Elkhorn Creek, which also drives prices upwards.

Date nights in Downtown Georgetown
Right next door to Boston is Georgetown's downtown area, where "There’s a really great, diverse selection of shops, eateries and amenities downtown,” says Dylan Marson, the Georgetown/Scott County Tourism Communications Manager. “I particularly enjoy the small-town atmosphere and seeing all the preserved historic buildings along Main Street.” Residents can browse the boutique shops on foot, while those who want to dine, can enjoy al fresco patio settings beneath twinkling string lights. Housed in a quaint cottage, New Thai Garden is a locally-owned spot where patrons can enjoy classic Thai offerings like pad kee mao and egg drop wonton soup. Right across the street is Rodney’s on Broadway, a popular date night spot serving-up dishes like roasted duck, homemade meatballs and filet mignon, paired with handcrafted cocktails. Irish Pub, Slainte Public House, is another option for lunch or dinner, housed in a former colonial-era home complete with an outdoor seating area with a brick fireplace. For groceries, residents head to the nearby Save-A-Lot.

Stroll through the gardens or paddle the Elkhorn
At Elkhorn Creek, Boston residents enjoy kayaking, canoeing and fishing. While those who prefer land-based activities can head to Ed Davis Park; which offers a Learning Center, playground and two basketball courts. Peninsula Park is popular among local dog owners, while anglers cast out lines from the river's edge, or come summertime, folks drift downstream in innertubes. Nearby, the Yuko-En on the Elkhorn, is a public Japanese friendship garden. Thanks to Georgetown being home to the largest Toyota manufacturing plant in the world, its sister city, Tahara, Japan, gifted artwork to beautify the garden and share its culture with Kentucky. Here residents can enjoy a stroll along the park's walking trails or take a break to contemplate the park's carefully curated scenery. From rippling waterfalls to the garden's central pond, the garden imbues beauty.
