Shepherdsville Kentucky: A Quaint Salt River Town 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) My family and I experienced marvelous memories while living in Shepherdsville Kentucky. The city is in Bullitt County Kentucky. Shepherdsville is close to Downtown Louisville and Elizabethtown. The small city has an improved scholastic infrastructure. Their programs reach out to ...Read More at-risk students in efforts to bring them into the fold of graduation percentiles for the state. Career opportunities are fairly abundant here. The housing market is low, while the cost of living is on an upturn. It was very easy to grow my savings here. The town doesn't have any real safety issues and the weather is naturally pleasant.

Some of the best areas in Shepherdsville Kentucky surround The Reserves of Thomas Glen. This area is always scenic year round. The area is open but gives a suburban feel. The town offers great fishing spots on the Salt Lake River. Many neighbors venture out in groups to take advantage of the great saltwater catches. The community is fairly small and centralized. It is a great place to enjoy natural landscapes and local great people. Read Less
