This upscale community is known for its small-town charm. Those who choose to reside in Prospect are looking for bigger homes and larger lots, many of which reside on the river, offering up picturesque scenic views. Four beautiful parks provide ample opportunities for families to enjoy the great outdoors. Farther away from Downtown Louisville, this community offers more of a suburban vibe.

Prospect is one of the wealthiest areas of Louisville, and you will pay top dollar for a home in this community. But with neighborhoods like Sutherland, Hunting Creek, Harrods Landing, Innisbrook, and Bridgepointe, there is tremendous value in holding your real estate, as the area continues to appreciate as developments increase away from the city.
