A suburb with its own spirit
In the heart of Bourbon Country, the town of Shepherdsville strikes a balance. On one hand, it’s a crucial suburb of Louisville, prime for commuting thanks to a straight shot up Interstate 65. On the other, it’s a city of its own, the county seat of Bullitt County and a developing, business-friendly place that has changed in recent decades. “Today, this town is full of commerce. It’s changed the whole dynamic of Shepherdsville,” says Darrell Harrod, an agent with Harrington & Associates Realty. Manufacturing and industry, including international giants such as Amazon, have put down stakes in the area, with fulfillment centers and more rising to the east of town. “We’ve got very good job stability here because we have a lot of light industrial buildings,” says Lou Anne Moore, an area resident and broker at Century 21 Advantage.
Shepherdsville neighborhoods are close to the interstate and industrial commerce.
Shepherdsville is located approximately 20 miles south of Louisville, Ky.
Jim Beam Distillery is a major employer near Mount Washington and a world renowned brand.

Growing housing and job market in Shepherdsville
This recent blossoming of the city has also been accompanied by a growth in population. Since 2000, Shepherdsville's population has grown from about 8,500 people to 14,500 as of 2022.
Recently developed subdivisions have added new traditional homes to Shepherdsville's housing market, complementing older subdivisions where midcentury ranch-styles houses are the norm. Most neighborhoods are full of ornamental trees and generous, grassy lots, with residential streets that are quiet enough for daily strolls. Open lots are also available for development, along with manufactured homes that start for as low as $20,000 and sell for up to $200,000. Townhouses and older single-family homes on small lots range from $125,000 to $300,000. Moore notes that newer single-family homes generally start for just under $300,000, which is significantly below the national average.
Shepherdsville's largest employers include the University of Louisville Health and distribution centers like McKesson and Amazon. In addition to the recently opened Rivian Service Center, the city also attracts those looking for housing near Fort Knox.

Centrally located access with I-65
“We are in the perfect vicinity to be directly between Louisville, Elizabethtown and Bardstown,” Moore says. With Routes 44 and 61 crossing at the heart of town, as well as Interstate 65 running north and south through the community, getting out across the region is easy. Most homes in town come with off-street parking for good reason, the region is car-dependent, even within the community itself. Whether commuting for work or visiting for fun, Downtown Louisville is approximately 20 miles to the north, with Interstate 65 cutting the drive down to 25 minutes. The nearest 24-hour care center, the University of Louisville Health South Hospital, is also roughly 6 miles north along Interstate 65. Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport is about 16 miles north of Shepherdsville and offers domestic and international commercial flights.
Buckman Street shopping and Bourbon Country beckoning
With several nearby shopping centers like Shepherdsville Square and Settlers Point, residents have access to plenty of Southern-style cuisine and stores carrying everyday goods. Local and national fast-food dining options abound, and they’re almost all located between Buckman Street and Route 65, centralizing retail, dining and hospitality. This includes groceries and big-box stores making it convenient for residents to pop out and hit all their needs in one trip.
For a change of pace, wine and bourbon tastings are available along the Bullitt County Wine, Whiskey & Ale Trail, which also connects to the more famous Kentucky Bourbon Trail. Sweeping through Shepherdsville, it includes stops like the James B. Beam distillery and the Four Roses Warehouse & Bottling facility, helping residents learn about this region’s rich history of crafting globally recognized spirits.
