Living in Buckner KY

Buckner KY is wonderful small town located in Oldham County KY, about 17 miles outside of downtown Louisville and 10 miles from Louisville's East End. When I talk about Buckner, I am really including a bit of LaGrange, KY, as well. Everything you find here will be between exits 17 and 18 off I-71.

Buckner is a great place to live. Close enough to Louisville and everything a larger city has to offer, but far enough out where things are a bit more relaxed and plenty of things to do. We have golf, swimming, great backroads for biking (Harley's and Schwinns), fishing, baseball and soccer. Tree Swings are still in fashion, too.

Here you will find information about Buckner Ky Real Estate for sale, Homes for Sale, Neighborhood details, places to eat and play golf plus what schools serve the Buckner area. Also, if there is information you need, you can drop it in the box at the bottom of the page or Send Me an Email, and I will get you answers.

Heather Hill Street Scenes

Heather Hill

Great Subdivison with homes 10 years old to 30 years+

Instead of just throwing you to all the Buckner homes for sale, I wanted to tell you a little bit about some of the neighborhoods in Buckner.

Heather Hill is a great subdivision in the Buckner area. It is a one way in and one way out place. It is tucked behind the Oldham County Country Club and Oldham County High School. It is a destination for tricker treaters at Halloween. Many residents grew up in the neighborhood, moved away for school and have moved back to raise their families here. There are 3 sections. The first section has many lots that are close to an acre. Sections 2 and 3 have newer homes from 12-25 years old or so. Lots of trees and great yards. Just a few miles from the Oldham County Campus make it a short bus ride to school.

Some of the houses on Fairway Drive back up to holes on the golf course. It is also about a mile from the Oldham County Aquatic Center and Wendell Moore Park.

Homes are price from $200,000-mid $300,000's

More Buckner Homes

In addition to Heather Hills and Stone Field Trace, there are a few other neighborhoods in the Buckner area.

Right off I-71 exit 17, take a left at the Thorntons (Convienent Store with Dunkin Donuts and DD Coffee) and you will find Darby Pointe. Newer construction with homes from the mid $200's to around $400,000. Some of the houses are close to the interstate, but move a bit away from the main drag and there are some really nice houses on acre lots. Bunches of kids throughout the neighborhood.

Next to Stonefield Trace is Grand Villa. Again, nice one acre lots and homes in the $300's. Homes are 15 years old and younger.

Heather Green has lots of new construction. Smaller lots, but they are on sewers. In Oldham County, you have to be on at least an acre to have septic systems. Anything less than an acre should be on sewers. Heather Green has some beautiful homes and they range from the low $400,000's to a bit over $600,000.

Oldham County YMCA

Oldham County YMCA

Located in Buckner, of course

The Oldham County YMCA is one of the newer facilities in the Louisville Metro Family of YMCAs. I think it is celebrating its 10th anniversary . It is very clean and open facility. Great architeture, when you walk in there are 30ft ceilings ( I have never measured, just guessing) and exposed beams. On the main level there is a full court gym, an aerobics room, mens and womens locker rooms and a lap pool that has a rock climbing wall in the pool. They also use the pool for group classes, swim lessons and family swim.
In the lower level, that is open to the upper level, there is a wall of windows lined with treadmills, tvs mounted on the wall and some on the individual treadmills. On the lower level, there are also machines that are computerized and keep track of your workouts. There are also traditional freeweights and other macchines. Plus several cardiovascular machines like treadmills, stair steppers, eliptical, stationary bikes and spinning bikes. There is also a trail through a wooded area that is about 6/10th of a mile you can run or walk.

For those of you with kids, there is also the Adventure CenterThe watch infants, not sure how young up to 4th or 5th grades. Once a kid is over 7 thy can check themselves in and out of the Adventure Center. There are 2 setions under 4 and over 3. The younger kids area has all kids of toy, books, and DVDs to keep the kids occupied. Over on the bigger kids side, there is a jungle gym like you would see at a McDonalds indoor playland, air hockey and I think some video games. The workers will also do crafts with the kids. Our kids love both sides.
