Life in Pikeville as a young professional

The unemployment rate is 1.5%, which is pretty low. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.
Pros:
