Best and worst neighborhoods in Barbourville

Anyone else feel this way? I'm originally from Raleigh and Crime rate is something to consider -Barbourville sits at 258.9 per 100K. Homes are going for about $190,200 on average. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Would love some local perspective.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem underrated.

I've been here 6 years and I have mixed feelings honestly. The thing nobody mentions is public transit. It's established and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the healthcare is legit. And if you're into hiking, this place is excellent.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The South side vs the North side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Hope this helps!.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem tough.

I've been here 4 years and I love the pace of life here. The thing nobody mentions is school system. It's affordable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the community vibe is legit. And if you're into biking, this place is better than expected.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The The Heights side vs the Old Town side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
