Fixer-upper housing interspersed with local businesses
When Gutherie was first developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Paducah was a fraction of its current size. The neighborhood only consisted of several farmhouses dotting the pastoral landscape. Gutherie still maintains a rural feel, but now the downtown, which is just several blocks to the east, has grown to include retail, entertainment and year-round festivities. Many of Gutherie’s original homes still stand, offering an opportunity for first-time homebuyers who might want to renovate them. Almost all houses in the neighborhood sell for well below Paducah’s median single-family home price. “Compared to the closest major cities like Nashville and Memphis, taxes, insurance, food, groceries and gas are relatively cheap in Paducah,” says Realtor Kartik Patel, who sells homes in the city with Keller Williams Experience Realty. The neighborhood is also close to an accessible recreation center and a technical learning center that teaches high school students about jobs in the trades and public health.
Mostly one-story early 20th-century housing
The neighborhood is almost entirely made up of Craftsman-style bungalows. The neighborhood’s houses do not have attached garages, but some properties have separate garages. Old-growth trees shade many of the yards, and backyards are large enough to set up patios with firepits. Bungalows from the turn of the century start for as low as $25,000 and sell for as high as $150,000. Some have front porches large enough for folks to relax and chat with their neighbors as they walk past on the sidewalks. There are a few brick ranch-style houses that sell for between $80,000 and $120,000.
Some bungalows have been recently renovated and painted in Paducah.
