Small-town living outside of Ashland, KY
Ironville is a small suburban community with rural surroundings and homes with more acreage than Downtown Ashland, located less than 5 miles away. "Ironville is one of several small communities outside Ashland's city limits; you wouldn't know you were going from one little area to the other out here. But taxes are low and it's quiet. You're not on top of your neighbors, that's what people like," says Tobie Moore, an area resident and Realtor with Keller Williams. A few churches and the Kentucky Educational Development Corporation, which Kentucky for Small Businesses rates as the Best Place to Work, are among Ironville's only non-residential buildings. Relative affordability also draws homebuyers to the area. "Over the past five years, lots of people have moved back here to retire due to the affordability. One couple sold their 10-acre farm in Washington State, bought one here and retired entirely off of the sale," Moore says.
