Nolan Drive draws buyers with its single-family suburban homes that line quiet tree-shaded streets. "There is a lot of pride of ownership in this neighborhood, so all of the houses and yards are very well kept," says Realtor Stan Hack, who sells homes in the neighborhood with HRE Advisors. On Nolan Drive's south end, a condo community called Lakewood Villas attracts homebuyers with a strong HOA that offers all residents lawn care and snow removal services. "Lakewood Villas is good for people who are downsizing and don't want a big piece of property requiring a lot of upkeep," says Realtor Leslie Heath, who sells homes in the neighborhood with Keller Williams Experience Realty. Nolan Drive is also within a mile of Interstate 24, highly rated public schools and Mercy Health–Lourdes Hospital.

Ranch-style homes and condos
Nolan Drive's single-family homes have front and back yards that are spacious enough for residents to host parties and barbecues. Most houses are shaded with old-growth trees. Brick and wood-exterior ranch-style houses built between the 1950s and 70s sell for between $110,000 and $250,000. The Lakewood Villas community is a cluster of brick and vinyl condominiums developed between 2006 and 2018 on the neighborhood's south end. The one-story condos have attached garages and sell for between $250,000 and $325,000. Each structure has about four units. "The typical layout is three bedrooms, two full baths, laundry, a kitchen, a living room and a patio," Heath says.

Paducah Symphony Orchestra Academy and BBQ on the River
For the past 25 years, the Artist Relocation Program has reshaped Paducah's cultural and entertainment offerings. The program funded artists from across the globe to move into the city, infusing fresh life into the downtown especially. About 4 miles northeast of Nolan Drive, the city's riverfront is now decorated with wall-to-wall murals chronicling important points in the city's history, including its early beginnings as a trade node at the nexus of the Ohio and Tennessee rivers and its late 19th-century development as a railroad town. The downtown is also home to the Paducah Symphony Orchestra Academy, where musicians take classes to hone their crafts and perform in the music hall for up to 570 people. The riverfront also draws tens of thousands of people each September for the city's BBQ on the River festival, where live bands perform while Paducah natives and visitors consume 80,000 pounds of smoked meat.
