#1 Breathtaking event and recreation venues that outshine those in most any other city our size.  From the James E. Bruce Convention Center to Pennyrile Forest State Resort Park, our community shines with amenities that many larger cities envy. #2 Within an hour's drive of five large metropolitan areas...and a National Recreation Area.  Close proximity to Nashville, Ownesboro, Paducah, Evansville, Clarksville and Land Between the Lakes further extends our options for entertainment, recreation, shopping and dining. #3 A high-value real estate market.  The local metropolitan area remains one of the few places in America where you can buy a new 2,000 square foot house for under $200,000...with acreage! #4 Beautifully ornate and well-preserved architecture in an emerging downton.  An abundance of structures built from the 1830s through the early 1900s makes Hopkinsville's rooflines a treasure to behold. #5 Six years younger than the average Kentuckian.  With the median age under 30, Christian County residents are young, progressive and eager to be engaged. #6 Pride in small town connections.  Residents value the sense of community formed by connectedness and strong relationships.  It's a place where people really do matter. #7 Diverse, forward-thinking and growing.  Hopkinsville-Christian County plans its future with proactive and inclusive inisiatives in education, infrastructure, beautification, workforce development and downtown revitalization. #8 A place to make your mark.  Because people matter...because we are growing...because meaningful community initiatives are now top priorities, Hopkinsville-Christian County is a place where anyone can get involved and shape the future.  So come, make your mark!
