Overview
Triple Crown is a newer subdivision in the southern part of Elizabethtown that embraces Kentucky's horse country heritage in its naming and design. With streets named after famous racehorses and thoroughbred-inspired theming, the neighborhood has a distinctly Kentucky character that sets it apart from generic subdivisions. Built primarily in the 2010s, Triple Crown offers modern homes in a well-planned community with a family-friendly atmosphere and strong curb appeal throughout.
Housing Stock & Prices
Triple Crown features newer two-story homes, ranch-style residences, and traditional designs with modern amenities. Homes offer 1,700 to 2,800 square feet with three to five bedrooms and two to three bathrooms. Prices generally range from $250,000 to $370,000. The newer construction means contemporary finishes, energy-efficient features, and minimal deferred maintenance. Homes here tend to have good-sized lots with professional landscaping, attached garages, and inviting front porches that contribute to the neighborhood's overall charm.
Schools & Families
Triple Crown falls within the Hardin County Schools district. Heartland Elementary serves the neighborhood's youngest students, with the path continuing through the county system to Central Hardin High School. The schools in this zone offer Purple Star-designated support for military families, making the area suitable for Fort Knox families who want quality schools and newer homes.
Nearby Amenities
The Lincoln Parkway corridor provides access to a growing number of restaurants, retail options, and services. Ring Road shopping is a moderate drive west. The neighborhood's southern location offers a slightly more suburban-to-rural feel compared to central E-town neighborhoods, which appeals to residents who want a bit more breathing room while staying connected to the city's amenities.
Commute & Transportation
Fort Knox is approximately 22 minutes from Triple Crown, and Louisville is about 40 minutes via I-65. The southern location means the interstate is conveniently accessible, and Lincoln Parkway provides an efficient east-west route to connect with US-31W and other major corridors. The commute to post is slightly longer than west-side neighborhoods but remains very manageable.
Who This Neighborhood Is Best For
Triple Crown is a great fit for families who want newer homes with Kentucky character in a well-planned community. Military families in the mid-level BAH range will find the pricing appropriate, especially for those who prioritize newer construction and modern amenities over the shortest possible Fort Knox commute. Young couples and growing families appreciate the fresh-from-the-builder feel, and the neighborhood's strong curb appeal supports good long-term resale value.
