I’m a Floyds Knobber. About a 25 minute drive to work if Sherman Minton bridge is open, about 30 minutes if it’s not. As mentioned, its refurb should be done in a few weeks and that'll be a thing of the past, although its been a nothing-burger for the last couple years as we only have to cross the bridge a couple times a month anyway with our schedules. Excellent schools in our area too (Highland Hills Middle and Floyd Central High, our son has attended both and they’ve been terrific). There’s some good veterans benefits to living in Indiana too, so if this pertains to you, make sure you research that. My wife and I compared both Oldham County and Indiana and Indiana won out for us primarily as I’m a retired veteran and own a plane that also needed a home, but it wouldn’t have disappointed us to have moved to Oldham County.
Only thing I'd add is your money goes approximately 25-30% farther in Indiana (maybe less so in Floyd Cty specifically) than it would in east Jefferson, Oldham County. You'll actually be closer to downtown and Edgewood (in terms of time spent driving) than you would in most of the nice areas in Oldham County.
Take a look at the houses for sale and compare price per square foot and lot size. I've found the above percentages to hold in general.
