Shepherdsville's early history is strongly influenced by the volume of salt that the region produced up to the early 1830s. The operations ended when the salt works next to the Kanawha River in Virginia began to give the Salt River operation some stiff, if not salty, competition. Evidently the Kanawha salt works did pretty well over time as a January public service announcement made by the Shepherdsville mayor in 2014 indicated that the city was running short on salt to clear the roadways.
Shepherdsville, Kentucky, is situated next to the Salt River, and is just 20 miles south of Louisville, off the state's major artery, Interstate 65. While the city's population rests around 11,000, it has been a stronghold of Native Americans for a period of 15,000 years. The area was once known as Bullitt's Lick, named for the salt licks that were founded by Captain Thomas Bullitt in 1773. Adam Shepherd, for whom the city is named, bought 900 acres of the area's of land in 1793. The city was made county seat after the formation of Bullitt County in 1796. View Shepherdsville City Guide
Balconies are a coveted amenity for many renters looking for high-rise views and opportunities for fresh air. However, you should keep in mind that balconies often come with restrictions.
Before signing a lease, ask about how many people can be on the balcony at once. Also, ask about whether you’re allowed to store a bike or other items.
You’ll also want to know about any maintenance schedules. Using your balcony as storage could result in fines and intervention from your property management.
Keep in mind that not all balconies are created equally. You may discover the views of the parking area are less than optimal or reduce your overall privacy.
Balconies can also get messy with debris, foliage, dirt, and pollen depending on your location. Renters are typically responsible for any clean-up and basic balcony upkeep.
Regardless of the issues to keep in mind, balconies are usually a big win for Shepherdsville renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
