After Years of Moving: Military Family Finds Their Forever Home in Perry County

Some moves are about more than just a new address - they’re about finding a place where you truly belong. 🏡

Today, we’re thrilled to welcome two new families who’ve chosen to make Perry County their forever home: the Stratmans - Candace, Daniel, and their daughters Izabelle, Evelyn, and Abigail - and Kaydean, who’s already found her rhythm in Tell City.

For Candace and Daniel, the search for a place to finally put down roots after years of Marine Corps moves led them here. “We’re both from Louisville, but wanted somewhere safer, friendlier, and close to family. Perry County checked every box: great schools, a safe community, affordable living, and Indiana’s veteran benefits. After so many moves, it’s a relief to know this is our last. Our girls are thriving, and we’re surrounded by kindness at every turn - from familiar faces at T C food & fuel and Los Amigos Mexican Grill, to the warm welcomes at Big Tales, Noble's IGA, and Lock & Keel Pub & Grill. Even our friends from across the country have fallen in love with this place!”

Candace adds, “Working remotely for a hospital, I needed fast, reliable internet, and PSC Fiber delivered-streaming, gaming, and work calls are all seamless. We’re grateful for the local MakeMyMove incentives and the support that made this transition smooth.”

Kaydean’s journey from Massachusetts brought more than just a change in scenery - it brought peace of mind. “Just by moving, I’m saving around $500 a month. My bills are lower, rent is affordable, and I have so much more space. There’s no traffic, and my neighbors are truly looking out for one another. Evenings at Sunrise Park and discovering local favorites like the buffet and Mexican restaurant have quickly become part of my routine. Perry County really does feel like home.”

Every new neighbor adds a new thread to the fabric of our community. Here, belonging isn’t just a word - it’s a way of life. The impact of each new family is felt everywhere, from the laughter in our parks to the smiles at our local businesses. It’s a joy to help each newcomer find their place and watch our community grow, one story at a time.
