Eastern offers the quiet ease of small-town living with quick access to the amenities of the Big Sandy region. Set amid the rolling hills of Floyd County, the community sits a short drive from Prestonsburg, where you’ll find concerts and touring shows at the Mountain Arts Center, a year-round venue with a strong local music footprint and national acts alike. Outdoor lovers head to Jenny Wiley State Resort Park for hiking, paddling on Dewey Lake, and wildlife viewing, all within an easy day’s outing.
Families appreciate the support of Floyd County Schools, which offers robust academic and extracurricular options. Curiosity seekers of all ages gravitate to the East Kentucky Science Center & Planetarium, a regional gem known for immersive shows and hands-on exhibits. When you want a broader selection of dining, shopping, and medical services, Pikeville and Paintsville are close enough for convenient day-to-day errands and weekend plans.
