LVING IN FRANKFORT

Ask residents why they like living in Frankfort and time and time again, you'll hear references to quality of life assets such as the gracious hospitality of the people, the natural beauty of our Bluegrass region, and the wealth of cultural and recreational offerings. These assets and more combine to create a sophisticated community that accommodates diverse interests, yet is small enough that everyone plays an important role.

Frankfort has been rated as one of the top "micropolitan" areas in the nation. Featured in the recently published book, "The New Rating Guide of Life in America's Small Cities" by Kevin Heubusch, Frankfort was chosen as the second-best city in the South. Of the nation's 193 small cities considered in this study, Frankfort ranks high on the list in the top 20.

Home to Kentucky's capital, Frankfort also offers the commerce and cultural benefits of hosting major manufacturing and technology employers, Kentucky State University, and an active convention center. The thriving historic downtown presents an eclectic mix of antique shops, fine furniture, unique gifts, and wonderful restaurants.  Part of Kentucky’s “Golden Triangle”, Frankfort residents enjoy fast interstate access to three full service airports and other “big city” amenities of Louisville, Lexington, and Cincinnati.

With all its bustling activity, Frankfort still retains a pleasant, secure atmosphere. Highly regarded public and private schools accommodate learners of every age, public parks and recreational programs are readily available, and housing is surprisingly affordable. When you make your home in Frankfort, your choices are unlimited.
