RETIREMENT
Murray has long been known for its attractiveness to retirees.  In 1987, Rand McNally’s Retirement Places Rated named Murray and the surrounding lakes area as the number one place in the nation to retire.  Since then, Murray has welcomed hundreds of retirees choosing to relocate to Murray from all over the United States.

In 2001, Murray was selected as a Certified Retirement Community by the Kentucky Tourism Development Cabinet and is one of only eight communities with this special designation.  Murray is noted as one of the great places in the state and the nation to settle down for retirement due to specific criteria.  Low crime rate, quality hospital care, low cost of living and tax rates, mild climate, friendly atmosphere, availability of adult education classes and close proximity to a major city, are just a few of the benefits for those retiring in Murray.
RELOCATION
Murray was recently selected as a “100 Best Communities for Young People” by the America’s Promise organization. Murray was chosen because of the community’s efforts to fulfill five essential promises critical to the well-being of young people: caring adults who are actively involved in their lives; safe places in which to learn and grow; a healthy start toward adulthood; an effective education that builds marketable skills; and opportunities to help others.

With the Murray-Calloway County Parks system, Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area, and the nearby lakes, our residents are never far from recreational activities, and with access to I-24, Murray is just a matter of hours from Nashville, St. Louis and Louisville, and within a day’s drive from the eastern, southern and mid-western United States.

“If you are seeking a well-rounded community with plenty of outdoor recreation, low housing costs with a four season climate, then Murray may be just what you’re looking for.”    -RetirementAmerica.com
