Buying in The Highlands
The Highlands stretches along Bardstown Road from roughly Taylorsville Road to I-264, and it's packed with locally-owned restaurants, bars, coffee shops, boutiques, and galleries. It's the kind of neighborhood where you can walk to dinner, grab coffee on the corner, and know your neighbors by name.
Home prices in the Highlands vary significantly by sub-neighborhood. Cherokee Triangle and Bonnycastle tend to be the most expensive, with beautifully maintained Victorian and Craftsman homes often listed between $400,000 and $800,000. Deer Park and Tyler Park offer more modest pricing in the $250,000 to $450,000 range. Condos and smaller homes start around $175,000.
The Highlands market is competitive. Desirable homes sell quickly, and multiple-offer situations are common, especially in spring and early summer. A note on historic homes: Many Highlands properties are older builds with character features like original hardwood floors, built-in bookcases, fireplaces, and high ceilings. They're beautiful, but they may also have considerations like knob-and-tube wiring, older plumbing, or foundation issues.
Selling in The Highlands
Highlands homes benefit from strong buyer demand year-round. My listing strategy for this market emphasizes the lifestyle: walkability, Bardstown Road proximity, neighborhood character, and architectural details. Professional photography that captures the charm of a Highlands home — the front porch, the original woodwork, the tree-lined street — is essential.
