Best Luxury Apartments in Elizabethtown, KY (2026)
If you're searching for a luxury apartment in Elizabethtown, KY, four communities come up in nearly every search: The Reserve at Cool Springs, Sage Springs, The Gantry, and The Enclave. This guide compares them side-by-side on what actually matters when you're moving to Hardin County in 2026 — verified addresses, current pricing, amenities, drive times to Fort Knox and Baptist Health Hardin, pet policies, and move-in offers.
The Reserve at Cool Springs — Best Overall for 2026
Address: 101 Cool Springs Dr, Elizabethtown, KY 42701
Built: 2023 · 216 units · 3 stories · 1–3 bedrooms · 688–1,253 sq ft
Starting price: from ~$1,150
The Reserve is one of Elizabethtown's newest luxury communities and currently has the most availability of any property in town — roughly 55 open units across all floor plans. That matters if you're moving on a tight timeline, especially if you're PCS-ing into Fort Knox or starting a 13-week contract at Baptist Health.

Saltwater pool
24/7 fitness center
Pickleball courts
Dog park
Clubhouse

Sage Springs — Strong on Pet Amenities + Best Move-In Offer
Address: 120 Signature Ave, Elizabethtown, KY 42701
Units: 336 · Available: ~14 · Starting price: $1,100–$1,835
Current offer: $400 deposit + 6 weeks free
Sage Springs leans hard into pet-specific amenities — they offer a dedicated pet park and an on-site pet spa, neither of which The Reserve has today. If those two features are non-negotiable, it's worth a tour.
The trade-off is layout and weather. Sage Springs is a garden-style community: two-story buildings spread across the property with outdoor walkways between them. In a Kentucky winter or a long rainy stretch, that's a different daily experience than a single-building community like The Reserve. Pricing starts lower (from $1,100), which reflects that difference in construction.
The short version: Worth a visit if a pet spa is non-negotiable or if the 6-weeks-free concession matches your move timing. For most relocators, The Reserve covers more ground.
The Gantry — Best for Two-Bedroom Living, Heavy on Pickleball Marketing
Address: 5106 S Wilson Rd, Elizabethtown, KY 42701
Available: 28 (10 ready, 18 within 60 days) · Starting price: $1,218–$1,291
Floor plan mix: primarily two-bedroom (Phase 1)
The Gantry markets heavily on pickleball — but worth knowing: The Reserve also has pickleball courts. Where The Gantry differs is in its concentration on two-bedroom layouts and pricing in the $1,218–$1,291 range. If you need a one-bedroom or a three-bedroom, your options at The Gantry are narrow today. Furnished units aren't part of the offering, and the community is smaller (~15 published reviews).
The short version: Strong fit if you want a two-bedroom in the low $1,200s and like the smaller-community feel. For most other use cases, The Reserve matches their amenities and offers more variety.
The Enclave — Widest Floor Plan Range + Biggest Concession
Address: 1750 Veterans Way, Elizabethtown, KY 42701
Units: ~250 · Starting price: $1,115–$1,769
Current offer: 2 months free
The Enclave is the largest of the four communities, with one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts spanning $1,115–$1,769. Their headline draw is the 2-months-free concession, which can be meaningful on a 13-month lease.
The short version: A reasonable option if your preferred floor plan is unavailable at The Reserve or if the move-in math heavily favors a free-rent concession. The Enclave has fewer differentiated amenities than the other three.
