Buyers like Muddy Ford’s rural scenery and access to Toyota's campus
Muddy Ford is a rural community marked by woods, farmland and hay bales near Georgetown, Kentucky. The area around Muddy Ford Road has some designated wildlife habitats and farms raising everything from flowers to beef cattle and miniature donkeys. The rolling landscape limits some of the farming opportunities but gives the local workforce a chance to find homes at affordable prices. Muddy Ford borders Georgetown’s Toyota campus, and the community has industrial facilities tied to the carmaker. “The number one enticement to that area is the proximity to Toyota. That’s 5 minutes to Toyota,” says Rita Jones, farmer and Realtor with Keller Williams. “Number two is it’s a little hillier and not that great a farmland, so sometimes it’s cheaper than some of the flatter land, say, going from Georgetown toward Lexington.”
The average household income in Muddy Ford is around $88,418.
