Elizabethtown, KY Apartments for Rent

Nestled in central Kentucky, Elizabethtown offers a rich historical backdrop for those seeking apartments for rent. Known locally as "E-town," this county seat of Hardin County was established in 1793 and named after the wife of founder Andrew Hynes. With a population of over 31,000 residents, Elizabethtown combines small-town charm with modern conveniences, positioned strategically at the junction of Interstate 65 and the Western Kentucky Parkway. The city's history runs deep - a cannonball from an 1862 Civil War battle remains embedded in a downtown building, serving as a visible reminder of the past.

Apartments for rent in Elizabethtown typically offer more affordable options compared to larger Kentucky cities, with one-bedroom apartments averaging around $900 monthly. Located just 30 miles from Louisville and near Fort Knox, the city provides convenient access for commuters. Freeman Lake Park offers 170 acres of outdoor recreation, while the historic downtown district features local shops and the restored State Theater. The city is home to Elizabethtown Community and Technical College, and residents have access to the Hardin County Public School system.
