Nicholasville, KY 193 Apartments for Rent

Nestled in the heart of Kentucky’s Bluegrass Region is the exquisite and expanding city of Nicholasville—proud home of the largest collections of locks in the world!

While Nicholasville has way more going for it than just safe locks (though seriously, Google the Harry C. Miller Lock Collection—any museum sporting 24,000 square feet of locks is impressive in our books), that charming little quirk does give you a great feel for the city. Nicholasville dates back to 1798. They’ve done an excellent job at preserving their past through museums like the Old Jessamine County Jail (a restored 1870s jailer’s home), they now also act as a major commuter city for Lexington, which is located just 9 miles north. Nicholasville has a lifetime of attractions to explore, including vineyards (First Vineyard which, as its name might imply, was here long before its competitors), civil war heritage parks and sprawling equestrian centers.

Finding an Apartment

Looking for places to live in Nicholasville is a breeze. Three bedroom rental homes (yeah, as in, nice, big houses) start at a wonderfully affordable price. While that price may not always cover your utilities varies, of course, on a case-to-case basis, all you need is a background check to live in an area as lovely and convenient as Squire Lake, a subdivision which offers great access to major thoroughfares. However, if home rentals just aren’t your thing, apartments in Nicholasville are a true deal: luxury apartments, like those offered at Imperial Pointe. Not bad at all when you factor in its proximity to major economic centers.

Getting Around

Given its commuter-oriented vibe, it’s not surprising that having a car helps you get around. Better yet, Nicholasville is currently exploring a variety of possible updates to its roads and infrastructure, and the city hopes to create a connecting highway between the already invaluable US Route 17 and I-75. Of course, with so many beautiful, natural landscapes preserved nearby, being able to go for a drive and catch sight of the rare bats that call the Jim Beam Nature Preserve home is a real treat.

Living in Nicholasville

In addition to its road projects, Nicholasville is also expanding its downtown area to offer residents a new and exciting Main Street. The city is attempting to integrate even more local businesses and restaurants to complement its already thriving scene. But if you’re looking to get out of the city for a moment, the Kentucky River Palisades, the jaw-dropping limestone cliffs that run along the Kentucky River, are just a short drive down US 27. The incredible scenery and history that surrounds Nicholasville gives it a truly unique mix of modernity, authenticity and true heritage. The sheer volume of trails, riding, golfing and outdoor sporting activities available in the area are astonishing. Anyone who thinks America is getting lazy clearly hasn’t swung by Nicholasville. So take a moment, wind down, throw on your hiking boots and let yourself breathe in the Bluegrass air—Nicholasville is waiting.
