Nicholasville.

Nicholasville and the rest of Jessamine County are among the fastest-growing parts of the Bluegrass, with new subdivisions rising alongside farmland along the Kentucky River palisades. That growth means a steady mix of additions, ADUs for multigenerational households, and basement finish-outs in homes built within the last two decades.

Land near the palisades slopes and drains differently than a flat Fayette County lot, so foundation and drainage planning for additions and basements gets extra attention on the Jessamine County side of a project.
