Suburb with a rural vibe

From above, Woodlawn resembles verdant parkland, giving off a rural vibe. At street level, narrow winding roads are lined with mature trees and foliage, revealing midcentury homes and spacious front yards. "It's a quiet community and a good place to raise a family," says Nancy Upchurch, executive assistant at the Paducah planning office. In addition to its tranquil setting, people move to the community to be close to work. "It's a convenient drive to several chemical plants where many residents are employed," says Lenny Powley, a Realtor with LP Real Estate Services and lifelong Paducah resident.

Two hospitals are nearby

Baptist Health Paducah and Mercy Health - Lourdes Hospital are within 3 miles for emergencies and employment. Downtown Paducah is 5 miles away, and Barclay Regional Airport is a 10-mile drive on U.S. Route 60. Interstate 24 is to the west of the community. Paducah Area Transit System bus stops are nearby but not in the community, so locals must use their cars for transportation.
