Spacious suburbs and multiacre farms
Housing in Mortonsville is a mix of suburban-style communities and working farms. “Mortonsville is not a very dense community,” says David Humes, a Realtor with Christie’s International Real Estate Bluegrass who has lived in the area since the early 1980s. “It’s a big horse town. … There are a lot of thoroughbred farms, and we used to have a lot of tobacco crops, but now it’s mostly soybeans and hay.” Housing styles vary widely, from historic colonial-style homes to new construction custom homes. Most are on at least an acre, and many are large enough to support an equine business or a hobby farm.
