New construction continues amid the city's growth.
Housing prices have increased amid new and ongoing construction
The community's established neighborhoods have mostly ranch-style homes, and traditional homes with additional land are farther out. Two-story homes in planned developments make up much of the newer construction. “Builders have been coming in and developing large pieces of land,” says Donna Thompson, a resident and owner of Team Thompson 1 Realty. “Prices are just getting higher and higher with people flocking out here from Jefferson County.”
Home prices start at under $200,000 and typically range into the $700,000s. New and ongoing construction has pushed the median sales price into the low $300,000s and continues to transform Mount Washington. “I remember traveling out here when I was a kid, and it was just a little two-lane road with not much else around it,” says Tina McCubbins , broker and owner of The Home Store KY, a local real estate company. “I can't believe how much things have changed.”
Access to employment centers in nearby suburbs and Louisville
Mount Washington’s popularity as a commuter suburb has created travel challenges. “There's getting to be a lot of traffic with more people moving here,” Thompson says. “It can even take a long time to get to places within Mount Washington.”
Manufacturing, logistics and healthcare jobs are about 20 minutes away along the Interstate 65 corridor in nearby Shepherdsville and Hillview. U.S. Route 150, also known as the Mount Washington Bypass, provides access to Louisville’s major employment centers. Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, the region’s largest manufacturing and logistics hub, is about 20 miles and 30 minutes away. The jobs and attractions of downtown Louisville are about 25 miles and 35 minutes away.
Several well-rated Bullitt County schools are in the area
The community is served by the Bullitt County Public Schools district. There are four elementaries, two middle schools and a high school in the area. Pleasant Grove Elementary School, Old Mill Elementary School and Eastside Middle School are the highest-rated options, with all earning a B-plus from Niche. Older students can attend Bullitt East High School, which offers Advanced Placement classes and dual-credit courses.
The sports complex serves the growing needs of an engaged community
The Mount Washington Sports Complex is on roughly 34 acres and includes fields for baseball, softball and soccer, along with courts for basketball, tennis and pickleball. A one-mile walking path that loops around the park and playgrounds rounds out the athletic amenities. “The Sports Complex is really popular. It's nice to see kids playing outside and families cheering at Little League games,” McCubbins says. WesBanco Amphitheater, which hosts community events, is part of the complex. Skating facilities are the main attraction at Mount Washington City Park, which also includes ballfields.
For expanded outdoor recreation, nearby McNeely Lake Park has a small fishing lake with a pier and a boat ramp, and Jefferson Memorial Forest, which spans nearly 6,600 acres with more than 35 miles of trails for hiking and horseback riding, is a regional attraction about 30 minutes away.
The Mount Washington Sports Complex opened in 2018.
