Prospect, KY

Prospect Ky is located in both Jefferson and Oldham Counties. It is a destination for many people moving to the area due to its award winning school systems and short commute to Louisville. If you are looking for a neighborhood with a swimming pool, tennis courts, clubhouse, country club and golf, there are a few to choose from in Propsect.

From Prospect continue north on Hwy 42 and the next town you get to in Oldham County is Goshen.

Goshen is a wonderful town that has newer communities carefully thought out and planned so they do not take away from the beautiful horse farms in the area. Not going to find a Walmart or Starbucks, just great houses, great schools and a quiet place to live. But don't worry, just a short communte back to anything and everything Louisville has to offer.

Crestwood KY

Quick Introduction

Crestwood was recently ranked 52nd overall on a survey for The Best Places to Live, by CNNMoney.com

Crestwood is a very quick trip back to all the shopping and medical facilities in Louisville, like the recently developed Summit, Springhurst and Old Brownsboro Crossing. Each of these are less than a few miles from the Gene Snyder Freeway and house stores such as Costco, Kroger, Target, Barnes and Noble, Starbucks, Old Navy, Dicks Sporting Goods, Office Depot, Home Depot, OfficeMax and the list goes on and on.

Oldham County is one of the top ranked school systems in the state. In Crestwood, the South Oldham Campus has Camden Station Elementary, South Oldham Middle and South Oldham High. Just down the road is the newest school in Crestwood, Kenwood Elementary and across the railroad tracks, the oldest school in Crestwood is getting a huge update and makeover, Crestwood Elementary.

To get a better rundown on each school, the different neighborhoods and things to do and places to eat in Crestwood, go to More about Crestwood

Buckner, KY

Buckner is a few more miles down I-71 from Crestwood.

It is smaller, but there is a lot happening in this not so large town. I call everything between exits 17 and 18 on I-71, the Buckner area even though much of it has Lagrange addresses.

Featured Neighborhood of the Week

Longwood Goshen KY

Today's featured neighborhood is Longwood in Goshen KY

Longwood homes range in age from new construction to about 3 years old. Prices range from $600,000 up to $800,000. You will find great floor plans, basements and some with walkout lots. Finishes include hardwood floors, granite countertops and everything one would expect in wonderful homes.

UPDATE on LONGWOOD

Builders, first owners and relocation companies are prepared to take a hit in this wonderful upscale Goshen Neighborhood. Longwood is a great development right across from the North Oldham School Campus with an elementary, middle and high school at its front door.


There are 18 homes for sale in there as of today and you won't believe this, 9 are new construction with most sitting on the market for 2+ years. Wouldn't a builder love to move some of this inventory at discounted prices, heck at any price. There are also 3 relocation homes and many times a relocation company is looking to move a house and willing to take a substantial hit to get them moved off their books. Finally, there are at least 3 first owners that are selling their houses for $25K, $47k and an amazing $83K less than what they paid for them and that is just the list price, not what they are willing to accept.
