Drift balances quiet creekside living with easy access to regional amenities, making it a practical choice for those who value space and community. Tucked in the hills of Floyd County, the area offers a short drive to the shops, healthcare, and entertainment of nearby Prestonsburg and employment hubs in Pikeville. Weekends often revolve around the outdoors: trails, fishing holes, and scenic byways are close at hand, and neighbors still wave from porches.
Families are served by Floyd County Schools, known for career pathways and strong extracurriculars, while adults can upskill at Big Sandy Community and Technical College in Prestonsburg. Readers and lifelong learners appreciate the programming at the Floyd County Public Library. Healthcare is nearby at Highlands ARH Regional Medical Center, offering a full suite of services and specialists within a quick drive.
When it’s time to unwind, locals head to Jenny Wiley State Resort Park for boating on Dewey Lake, birding, and miles of wooded trails. Music lovers catch touring acts and homegrown talent at the Mountain Arts Center, a regional anchor for concerts, theater, and festivals that celebrates the area’s deep Appalachian roots.
