Suburban living in Middletown

Located on the old Louisville and Shelbyville Turnpike Road, Middletown is one of the oldest settlements in Kentucky, dotted with historic homes that emulate the authentic feel of a small Southern town. Its history notwithstanding, Middletown features a combination of historic, quiet streets that blend with new subdivisions offering modern suburban living. “Living in Eastern Louisville offers everything one could want: shops, restaurants, a family-family community, and easy commutes downtown,” says Becky Lusch, a Louisville local realtor for over 15 years at Keller Williams Realty. Approximately 15 miles from Louisville, Middletown residents can head to the city for an afternoon of exploration or embrace the slower-paced small-town lifestyle.

Historic homes scattered between new subdivisions

Middletown features subdivisions that offer modern suburban living and historic, small-town charm. Architectural styles range from ranch, new traditional, Craftsman and Tudor-style homes. Some streets are wide and framed by sidewalks, while others boast thin roads canopied by maple trees. With a median price of around $375,000 for a single-family home, it’s no surprise that houses sell after 16 days on the market, much faster than the national average. “It’s such a highly sought-after area. We often have homes that sell within the first day of the listing,” Lusch says. However, houses can significantly range in price, such as a 1956 brick ranch for $311,000 to a five-bedroom, stately new traditional in the Willowgate Subdivision boasting a community pool and clubhouse for $650,000. Prospective homebuyers can also buy a condominium unit between $100,000 and $300,000.
