An historic Paducah neighborhood
The eclectic houses of Jefferson Street have seen a lot over the past 130 years, from the streetcars that once transported residents into the downtown to the spooky decorations that now adorn the front lawns for the neighborhood's famous annual Halloween bash. "People are drawn to the architecture, the perfectly manicured lawns and the proximity to the riverfront," says Realtor Amanda Johnson, who sells homes in the neighborhood with Arnold Realty Group. "There's a big sense of community here. When you walk down the streets in the evenings, neighbors are always relaxing on their front porches and ready to talk." Sidewalks line Jefferson Street on both sides, and a tree-shaded median runs through the center of the street. Jefferson Street's west end is mainly residential, while commercial offerings like furniture stores and tire shops fill the east end.
American Foursquares and Craftsman-style houses
The single-family housing along Jefferson Street was primarily developed between the 1890s and 1930s. As much as any neighborhood in Paducah, the housing on Jefferson Street reflects the architectural diversity and history of the city. The homes fall in line with Paducah's median price, with options and sizes spanning a broad price range. Single-story Craftsman-style homes from the 1920s are valued between $145,000 and $170,000. Assessors value the street's brick American Foursquare houses from the turn of the 20th century at between $160,000 and $320,000. Brick Colonial Revivals from the late 19th century are valued as low as $140,000, and a 1910s Prairie-style with a barrel-tile roof is valued at $630,000.

An annual Halloween bash and the county fair
Jefferson Street's annual Halloween celebration attracts thousands of trick-or-treaters, according to WPSD Local 6.

The downtown, a mile east of Jefferson Street, is also a source of local fun. The downtown's Maiden Alley Cinema shows new films as well as classics. The nonprofit arthouse theater operates from a brick warehouse illuminated by a neon sign. The Carson Center for Performing Arts hosts touring bands and Broadway series. BBQ on the River is the city's most popular event. Thousands of people flock to the riverfront every year to try smoked meat and listen to live music.
