Find the Best Realtors in Elizabethtown, KY

Elizabethtown — or "E-town" as locals call it — is the heart of Hardin County and one of Kentucky's most livable small cities. With a population of roughly 32,500 residents, it offers the perfect balance of small-town charm and modern convenience. Situated just 35 miles south of Louisville via I-65, E-town gives you easy access to big-city amenities while keeping the cost of living well below national averages.

The housing market here is one of the most affordable in the region. The median home price hovers around $250,000 — well below the national median of roughly $390,000. That affordability, paired with quality school districts and a strong sense of community, makes Elizabethtown a magnet for families, military personnel from nearby Fort Knox, retirees, and first-time homebuyers.

Fort Knox, located about 15 miles north of downtown, is home to the U.S. Army Human Resources Command and the U.S. Army Cadet Command. The base drives a significant portion of the local economy and housing demand, creating a steady stream of military families looking for homes in the E-town area. With BAH rates that often cover a full mortgage payment, many service members choose to buy rather than rent.

Whether you're relocating for the military, looking for your first home, or investing in rental property, Elizabethtown's real estate market offers real value. And with a roster of experienced local agents — led by veteran-owned Compass and Key Group — you'll have expert guidance every step of the way.
