Homes for Rent in Science Hill, KY

Science Hill, Kentucky offers a rural setting surrounded by farmland about 7 miles north of Somerset, with a quiet, slower pace of life and a small cluster of local businesses. Many people choose the area for country living while still having access to dining, shopping and recreation in nearby Somerset and larger cities like Lexington, Bowling Green and Nashville within about a half-day’s drive. Housing in Science Hill includes ranch-style homes, often single-story with brick or paneled exteriors, basements, front porches and farmhouse-inspired features, as well as New Traditional homes; many properties sit on at least an acre and some include creeks or tributaries, so residents are advised to check their flood zone and insurance needs. Science Hill Park offers baseball fields used by Pulaski County Little League and a fenced playground, while Lake Cumberland Wildlife Management Area and Fishing Creek Campground provide seasonal hunting, a boat ramp, playground and access to Lake Cumberland’s many coves. Local dining and services are limited but include a strip mall on U.S. Highway 27 with Dollar General, Downtown Pizza and Speedy Tacos, Science Hill Milling Company on Kentucky Highway 635, and the seasonal, cash-only Science Hill Dairy Mart on Kentucky Highway 1247. Science Hill Independent School serves kindergarten through eighth grade with a high rating, and families can also apply to attend highly rated Northern Elementary School and Northern Middle School in the Pulaski County School District. U.S. Highway 27 connects residents to Somerset’s hospital, grocery options, downtown entertainment and larger-city features.
