Happy rewards people who value elbow room, mountain views, and a genuine small‑community rhythm. Tucked in the hills of Perry County just a short drive from Hazard, daily life balances quiet backroads with easy access to groceries, healthcare, and hometown eateries. Weekends often lead to the water and wooded ridges at Buckhorn Lake State Resort Park, where fishing, paddling, and trail time are a quick car ride away through scenic hollows.
Families appreciate local education options that include Perry County Schools and Hazard Independent Schools, each with supportive programs and close‑knit campuses. Explore calendars, enrollment details, and student services through Perry County Schools and Hazard Independent Schools online.
