Housing options range from established to modern

Shepherdsville is a city where single-family homes make up most of the market, with a mix of established properties and newer construction. Midcentury ranch-style homes share the streets with traditional two-story builds. Detached outbuildings, covered patios and fenced yards are standard features across the area. Driveways and attached garages are standard among the community's plentiful contemporary offerings. The median year built is in the early 2000s, so much of the housing is relatively modern. New and ongoing construction centers on planned developments with exclusive amenities such as community pools and playgrounds.

Prices typically range from the low $100,000s to the $700,000s, although select contemporary custom homes can list for much more. The median single-family price is right around $300,000.

Business and industry have transformed Shepherdsville

Shepherdsville’s residential growth is connected to business and industry growth. International giants such as Amazon have put down stakes in the area, attracting those who want to work outside of the big city and transforming what were once quiet, rural destinations. “This town is full of commerce. It’s changed the whole dynamic of Shepherdsville,” says Darrell Harrod of Mason Real Estate. Lou Ann Moore, a local Realtor with Century 21 Advantage Plus, adds that the area’s commercial growth provides “very good job stability.” Shepherdsville is also home to UofL Health – South Hospital, a major employer located just of Interstate 65.

I-65 connects residents to important Louisville job centers

Those who work outside of the immediate area enjoy convenient access to major employment centers and other regional destinations. Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, the region’s largest transportation and logistics hub, is about 15 miles and 20 minutes away via I-65, while the 20-mile commute to downtown Louisville can be made in under 30 minutes via I-65. “We are in the perfect [spot] to be directly between Louisville, Elizabethtown and Bardstown,” Moore says. The latter two cities are both about 30 minutes away.

Easy access to big-box retailers and a mix of restaurants

Shopping and dining options are concentrated around the I-65 corridor that runs through the heart of Shepherdsville. There's a Walmart and a Kroger just off the interstate, and popular dining destinations include:

  • The Fish House and Grill, a local seafood joint where fried fish and shrimp are cooked to order
  • Cattleman's Roadhouse, a Kentucky-based restaurant known for its hand-cut steaks and hearty entrees
  • Bearno's Pizza, a Louisville-area chain that has been serving Italian comfort food favorites since 1977
  • Cedar Grove Coffee House, a casual cafe with in-house roasted beans, specialty drinks and light lunch fare

In addition, residents can explore the Bullitt County Wine, Whiskey & Ale Trail, which offers tastings and tours at local wineries, breweries and distilleries. The trail includes notable stops such as the James B. Beam Distilling Co. and the Four Roses Warehouse & Bottling Facility.
