I really like it here. It is right off Bardstown road, walking distance from Great Flood Brewery, Havana Rumba and Graeters. It is conveniently located about a 15 minutes walk from everything, but it is in a lull in between the really busy parts of Bardstown so it is never very noisy. The loudest thing you ever have to deal with is the church bells from Saint Francis church, which ring on the hour during the day time. However, it turns out that they're more beautiful than irritating.
The rooms
...were recently renovated, so the inside of the apartments look really nice. The walls have been re-painted, the counter-tops and bathrooms have been re-done, and all the light-fixtures and ceiling fans look new. Apartments come with furnished bathrooms and kitchens (fridge, dishwasher, electric stove). Each apartment has its own patio or balcony, which is great for hanging out or tanning.
The rent is very fair for Highlands: I pay $650 for 800 square feet. Sewage and trash is included and water is only $25 extra. There's also a large lot with plenty of parking, which solves a perennial problem for living off of Bardstown. The realty company is on-site, which is convenient for paying rent and requesting assistance. They've been typically very helpful and proactive -- often sending someone to replace furnace filters, reinforce balcony beams and put down preventative pest control before problems occur (at no extra cost).
There are a few downsides. No pets are allowed, not even for pet-sitting. The laundry-room is coin-operated, and it costs $2 to wash and $1 to dry. However, the dryers don't always dry especially well so usually a load ends up costing about $4 or $5.
