A place for gardens and chickens

Roosters crowing is a familiar sound in Rowlandtown. In fact, it's not uncommon to find chickens in backyards across the neighborhood. Gardening is also a popular pastime. "I see people outside all the time, tending to their gardens," says Realtor Amanda Johnson with Arnold Realty Group, who's lived in Paducah all her life. "Kids riding their bikes, neighbors walking dogs. It's a very walkable neighborhood, and there's a real sense of community." Wide, tree-lined streets reveal a mix of home styles, depending on the year they were built. Rowlandtown has the distinction of being one of Paducah's 15 original neighborhoods. "People from all over move here because they want to own a historic home without having to go before the Historic Architectural Review Commission to make changes to their home," says Johnson. "Plus, homes here are economical."

Rowlandtown is located on the Northern side of Paducah.

A mix of everything

Houses built between 1940 and 1999 mingle with vintage houses in the neighborhood. "We see everything here," Johnson says. "From mobile homes to houses dating back to 1907. It's a great place for investors and first-time homebuyers." Architectural styles include bungalow, ranch-style and Cape Cod. Some homes are freshly renovated, while others still need updating. A buyer can get a two-bedroom fixer-upper for $79,900. A 4,000-square-foot, three-bedroom ranch-style house for $259,000. Lots average one-eighth of an acre, and most homes have garages.

Getting chill at a chilli parlor

Residents don't have to travel far for dining options. For nearly 100 years, Happy's Chili Parlor has been a local soul food staple. In addition to the food, people come here for the chill ambiance, which includes a pool table, Pac-Man arcade and hip-hop music playing in the background. Big Ed's features a daily homemade buffet, and favorites include fried chicken, catfish, turnip greens and banana pudding. El Paisa Taqueria has simple decor but receives high praise from locals for its authentic Mexican cuisine. Kroger is nearby for grocery runs.
