Prospect is located to the east of Louisville, but still inside Jefferson County, for the most part, as bits of Prospect also spill over into Oldham County, which makes it the only city I know of that is in two different counties at the same time. Prospect was first settled in the late 1700′s and was farming land for quite a while, until a railroad line made it from Louisville out to the surrounding communities, in the late 1800′s.
In the late 1800′s and the early 1900′s, when the name Prospect was taken, only a few luxury homes had been built. But with simplified transportation to and from Louisville, more and more neighborhoods were planned and built. A few of the larger homes may have been summer retreats for Louisville’s wealthiest families, similar to how Anchorage, Indian Hills, Glenview and Mockingbird Valley grew. A few of the more recent, and popular, subdivisions to be built in the Prospect Real Estate market include Hunting Creek, Sutherland, Harrods Glen and Hillcrest.
As I drive around Prospect, I often take a camera with me, and like to snap a few photos from some of the different subdivisions available in Prospect. If you will allow me a little freedom for generalizations, homes in Prospect tend to be larger than the overall Louisville real estate market, and they also tend to be quite a bit more expensive. Not only have I taken a few pictures of homes in 40059, which you can see on my Flickr account if you are so inclined, but I also have taken a few videos of some of the area’s subdivisions, which can be seen at my YouTube account. The one video that I have decided to share below is simply of me driving from Louisville out Brownsboro Road towards Prospect. The video can be found below the interactive map of current homes for sale in Prospect.
