My experience with Prospect Kentucky has always been a positive one. I have grown up in Prospect so it is all I've ever known. Prospect has formed a great community with great neighbors. Everyone within the community is always looking out for each others safety. For example in my neighborhood we have a specific app we use to communicate with everyone if we seek or see something that we feel maybe unsafe or simply to report an incident. I may also say that the environment is also a place where your children may wonder and play with others without having to worry. Lastly, within Prospect there are many activities and events to do as a whole family.
Call it midwestern or southern, either way the hospitality is welcoming. My neighborhood, Paramont Estates, in particular is unique with a quarry lake, nature trail & clubhouse that includes a hot tub, workout room, meeting & social gathering rooms, racquetball courts & an indoor junior Olympic sized swimming pool! The school campus is around the corner & includes our elementary, middle & high schools. The public schools for Prospect, Oldham County, KY, neighborhoods are fantastic; North Oldham HS, leads as a superb college prep school. We have a great grocery store; a few restaurants which provide good food & service & offer a variety in types of cuisine; a friendly & helpful hardware store; a couple of doctor offices, orthodontists, dentists, hair dressers and gas stations. One time, our car broke down right as we were leaving one of the gas stations and the local vehicle maintenance place came right over & took care of us! DQ & The Pie Kitchen for homemade pie & ice cream rock!
Prospect is a the best suburb in the Louisville area. The Hunting Creek Country Club provides excellent golf, swimming, and tennis. Oldham County Schools are the best in the state of KY. Crime is low. Great local stores provide anything that you need. Scores of nearby restaurants and more shopping a few minutes away in the Springhurst area. The commute to downtown Louisville on River Road is incredibly easy. You can not beat this hidden jewel in the Louisville area.
