Raccoon offers a peaceful foothold in the Appalachian foothills with quick access to the amenities of nearby Pikeville and the wider Pike County. Residents appreciate the convenience of world-class care at the Pikeville Medical Center, where the region’s leading specialists and services are on offer, and a steady calendar of concerts, family shows, and sporting events at the Appalachian Wireless Arena. Outdoor time comes easy, from fishing and paddling on the Levisa Fork to hiking and overlooks at the dramatic Breaks Interstate Park, just beyond Elkhorn City.
Families benefit from Pike County Schools, which provide a full spectrum of academic and extracurricular programs, as well as enrichment and community events through the Pike County Public Library District. Higher education and professional development are close to home at the University of Pikeville and, a short drive away in Prestonsburg, Big Sandy Community & Technical College. These institutions anchor a local economy that blends healthcare, education, energy, and small business.
Housing in Raccoon ranges from ridge-top views to tucked-away hollows and acreage, with commute-friendly routes to jobs, classes, and shopping in town. Weekends might mean a ballgame at the arena, a scenic drive to the Breaks, or a quiet evening watching the hills change color with the season.
