Hardin County is in the heart of Kentucky and blends a small town, country lifestyle with the conveniences of urban amenities. The county offers a variety of housing options from traditional suburban neighborhoods and starter homes to multi-acre farmlands and executive properties, offering well-built homes in nearly every price range. Hardin County is also known for its quality schools and sense of community. Nearby Fort Knox also contributes to the area's strong military presence and patriotic pride.

Radcliff
Adjacent to Fort Knox, Radcliff is a community with a strong military heritage. Newcomers of Radcliff are immediately exposed to the area's rich history and welcoming spirit. In addition to historic sites and museums, the region's natural beauty also makes the city's parks a major attraction. 

Fort Knox
Fort Knox is a U.S. Army base that spans across Hardin and Meade counties. The growth that Fort Knox has recently seen as more and more newcomers have had their jobs move to the military base has had a positive impact on Meade County. With new residents comes new business and it gives the area's surrounding Fort Knox a welcoming manner.
