A mix of housing options and relative affordability
Ranch-style homes are prominent among the midcentury designs that make up the bulk of Hillview's housing. Side driveways leading to detached backyard garages are standard features of the community's established single-family offerings, which are concentrated on the east side of Interstate 65. Hillview also has its share of contemporary homes in planned developments, which include recent construction. Prices typically range from the low $100,000s to the high $500,000s.
Hillview is a home-rule city, which means it is self-governing. Realtor Sherry Hammond of Creekside Realty says taxes are about the same as what you’d pay as a Louisville resident, but utilities can be cheaper. Overall, relative affordability is a draw, she says. “Homebuyers, especially first-time buyers, come here because it offers a less expensive cost of living.”
New homes are being built in planned developments.
Traditional ranch-style homes are prominent in Hillview.
