Residents looking into the quiet and private neighborhood of Union can find anything from small ranches to larger estates, all that sit on larger plots of land in comparison to neighborhoods closer to the city.

One can’t talk about Union without talking about its proximity to Big Bone Lick State Historic Site and Boone County Arboretum, both of which give residents immense space to take in nature.
From ranch styles and bi-levels to new traditional homes
From single-family dwellings to townhouses and condominiums, housing styles in Union can vary. Single-family homes typically come as ranch-style, bi-level or new-traditional styles.
