LIFE
What’s it like
to live in one of the fastest-growing cities in Kentucky?
Affordable housing
and easy access to excellent educational facilities, recreation, shopping and
career opportunities are the key ingredients to our success.
Thanks to our recent
population boom, we’ve built many new housing options over the past
five years. And we’ve tried to make sure they have the things that
Oak Grove families want: a cozy feel, sidewalks
and safe play areas.
Our children attend
school in the Christian County school system www.christian.k12.ky.us –considered one
of the finest in Kentucky.
Adults looking to
pursue a college degree have access to Austin
Peay State University
[www.apsu.edu], Hopkinsville
Community College [www.hopcc.kctcs.edu], Murray State
University [www.murraystate.edu] and Western
Kentucky University
[www.wku.edu].
Due to our proximity
to Fort Campbell www.campbell.army.mil, we have a high military
population. However, we also have many government employees and military
retirees living in Oak Grove.
