Frankfort, KY Apartments for Rent

As Kentucky's capital city, Frankfort welcomes renters with its historic downtown and riverside setting. The Kentucky River winds through the heart of the city in a distinctive S-curve, creating a picturesque backdrop for daily life. History enthusiasts will appreciate that Frankfort, established in 1786, preserves its heritage through landmarks like the Kentucky State Capitol building, the Old State Capitol museum, and the Buffalo Trace Distillery, America's longest continuously operating distillery.

Frankfort's rental market offers more affordable options compared to surrounding metropolitan areas, with one-bedroom apartments averaging $822 monthly. The city encompasses several established neighborhoods, including Downtown, South Frankfort, and the East and West sides. The compact layout means most residents enjoy quick commutes, particularly to the state government complex, a major employment center. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore Leslie Morris Park on Fort Hill and Cove Spring Park. Located along Interstate 64 and approximately 30 miles from Lexington, Frankfort combines small-town living with easy access to metropolitan amenities.
