Homes & land for sale in Frankfort, KY
Kentucky’s capital — river bluffs, bourbon heritage and small-town pace.
Frankfort, Kentucky
Living in Frankfort.
Frankfort is Kentucky’s capital, set in a dramatic bend of the Kentucky River between Lexington and Louisville on I-64. State government, Kentucky State University and Buffalo Trace Distillery anchor the economy, while historic neighborhoods, river bluffs and rolling Franklin County farmland give the city its character.
Frankfort offers excellent value compared with Lexington and Louisville. Buyers find historic homes in South Frankfort and near the Old Capitol, established neighborhoods on the hills above downtown, riverfront and river-view properties, and country homes with acreage throughout Franklin County.
It’s also a smart choice for commuters: Frankfort sits roughly halfway between Lexington and Louisville. We’ll help you weigh river proximity and flood considerations, older-home inspections and rural property details like wells and septic.

In their words
From our clients.
Lyndsey at Kentucky Land and Home is truly one of the most kind, hardworking professionals I’ve ever worked with. She has helped me buy and sell three homes, and throughout every process she has been incredibly patient, dedicated, and supportive—especially as I navigated a tight budget while still trying to find exactly what I wanted.
Enter Liz Tremble (our actual real estate angel)… She provided us potential listings immediately (even responding late hours for my 2nd shift husband) and helped us find a buyer for our previous property which we never imagined would happen as quickly as it did. If you are looking for a realtor who truly cares and will be willing to go the extra mile Liz is your lady and Kentucky Land and Home are your people!
I have had excellent experiences working with not only Lyndsey but also several other agents at KY Land and Home. Highly recommend!
Bri and Lyndsey both helped me sell my home and purchase another one. They were great to work with!
Jennifer Ware is one in a million and we’re so lucky to have her as our realtor. She is so approachable and goes out of her way to help you.
Thank you so much for helping us find our new home! We are so happy with our house thanks to your great help. We wouldn’t have been able to do this without your patience and support.

Questions
Frankfort answered.
Is Frankfort a good place to live if I work in Lexington or Louisville?
Many buyers choose Frankfort for exactly that reason. It sits on I-64 roughly between the two cities, offering more value and a quieter pace with a manageable commute either direction.
Can Kentucky Land & Home help me buy in Frankfort, KY?
Yes. Our agents help buyers find homes, farms and land throughout Frankfort, KY and nearby communities. Tell us what you’re looking for and we’ll send matching listings and set up tours.
How much do I need for a down payment in Kentucky?
It depends on the loan. Conventional loans can start around 3–5% down, FHA loans around 3.5%, and VA and USDA loans may require no down payment for eligible buyers. We’ll connect you with local lenders who can explain your options.
Do I pay for a buyer’s agent?
Buyer agent compensation is negotiable and is explained in a written buyer agreement before we tour homes together. In many transactions sellers agree to contribute toward it. We’ll walk you through exactly how it works before you commit.
