Rush offers a relaxed, countryside feel with quick access to bigger-city conveniences. Set along the US 60 and I-64 corridor in Boyd County and adjacent to Carter County, it’s minutes from shopping, dining, and jobs in Ashland. Outdoor enthusiasts flock to the nationally known Rush Off-Road, a sprawling trail system for ATVs and side-by-sides that hosts seasonal rides and festivals, making weekends feel like an event. For hiking, paddling, and cave tours, Carter Caves State Resort Park is an easy day trip with scenic trails and guided expeditions.
Families appreciate the strong local school options. The area is served by Boyd County Public Schools, including Rush Elementary, with career and college pathways close by at Ashland Community and Technical College. Sports leagues, band programs, and hands-on tech training give students plenty of ways to get involved without a long commute.
Housing ranges from wooded acreage and farmettes to newer builds along quiet lanes, appealing to first-time buyers and those seeking more elbow room. Everyday errands are simple, whether you’re heading into Catlettsburg or Ashland, and weekend plans might include a scenic drive to Carter Caves State Resort Park or a trail day at Rush Off-Road.
