As the capital of Kentucky, remote workers will love to see how Frankfort is known as "Kentucky Distilled."

Frankfort

Known as the Star City of Eastern Kentucky, Prestonsburg anchors Floyd County with a deep commitment to the arts and the outdoors. The Levisa Fork River winds right past a historic downtown district filled with local boutiques and cafes. Just up the road, the Mountain Arts Center hosts the famed Kentucky Opry, while Jenny Wiley State Resort Park offers thousands of acres for hiking, boating on Dewey Lake, and guided elk tours. Residents here enjoy a community that fiercely protects its Appalachian heritage while actively building modern outdoor recreation networks.

Prestonsburg

Bowling Green is Kentucky's third-largest city, but it earns its identity through specifics: the only factory in the world that builds the Chevrolet Corvette, a downtown beside a cave you can kayak into, a university that anchors the arts and economy, and a refugee resettlement history that has made it one of the most internationally diverse small cities in the American South. 

Bowling Green

Kentucky's third-largest city is home to the only Corvette factory on earth, a cave you can kayak into from downtown, a flagship state university, and one of the most intentionally diverse communities in the American South.

Glasgow, Kentucky is a town of about 15,000 in South Central Kentucky's cave country, where Scottish heritage runs deep, the cost of living sits well below the national average, and Mammoth Cave National Park is a half-hour drive from the front door. Downtown's Plaza Theatre has hosted everyone from Dolly Parton to Loretta Lynn, the Museum of the Barrens fills a 1920s pants factory with three floors of regional history, and Barren River Lake puts 10,000 acres of water 13 miles south of town. The pace is small, the surroundings are not.

Residents enjoy direct access to rugged mountain trails, a deep connection to local history, and community events that draw thousands to the downtown streets.

Downtown’s West Main District, or “Museum Row,” features the Frazier History Museum, the Kentucky Science Center, the Louisville Slugger Museum, the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft, and the Muhammad Ali Center. When it comes to dining and nightlife, downtown’s Fourth Street never disappoints, offering a diverse mix of restaurants and entertainment venues, such as Gordon Biersch Brewing Company, Hard Rock Cafe, and Fourth Street Live!, a 350,000-square-foot entertainment and retail complex. For those who prefer coworking spaces, Louisville provides more than 10 options, including the popular Launch Louisville and 31e.

Johnson County is nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains and holds a profound place in American cultural history.

Floyd County

Franklin is the county seat of Simpson County, Kentucky, founded in 1819 and named after Benjamin Franklin. With a population of just over 10,000, it sits at a genuinely enviable crossroads: 20 minutes south of Bowling Green and 40 minutes north of Nashville, Tennessee, giving residents access to two major metros while living at a fraction of the cost. The town has been named one of the 50 Best Small Southern Towns and carries the kind of history that gives a place personality — including the church downtown where Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash married on March 1, 1968. Kentucky Downs, one of the most prestigious thoroughbred horse racing venues in North America, calls Franklin home.

Owensboro

Owensboro, Kentucky, sits in the crook of the bend of the Ohio River, which led 18th-century settlers to originally call it “Yellowbanks,” for the yellow sands located along the river. The long, hot summers provide outdoor enthusiasts plenty of opportunities for water sports, hiking, biking, or simply enjoying one of the area’s many parks. Nature enthusiasts might also enjoy the Western Kentucky Botanical Garden or visiting the World’s Largest Sassafras Tree. The city is also known for the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame and Museum, the Owensboro Museum of Fine Art, and Owensboro Museum of Science and History. Wineries, distilleries, farms, and orchards offer tours, and the city hosts the Owensboro PumpkinFest each year.
