Varney balances quiet, small-community living with easy connections to bigger-city conveniences. Tucked in the hills of Pike County, residents head to Pikeville for shopping, dining, and concerts, or cross the Tug Fork to Williamson for quick errands. Commuters appreciate straightforward routes to regional employers and healthcare, while weekend outings might include an arts performance or college game in Prestonsburg.
Families are served by Pike County Schools, known for strong academics, career pathways, and extracurriculars. Higher education is close at hand through Big Sandy Community & Technical College and the University of Pikeville, giving students and adult learners local options to upskill or pursue degrees. Healthcare needs are met by the award-winning Pikeville Medical Center, a regional hub with specialized services.
Outdoors, you’ll find miles of Appalachian scenery to explore. Day trips to Breaks Interstate Park deliver dramatic canyon overlooks, hiking, and paddling, while the lakes, trails, and performances at Jenny Wiley State Resort Park offer year-round recreation. Festivals, youth sports, and church gatherings stitch neighbors together, and the cost of living makes it easier to spread out, garden, or finally build that workshop.
