About Highlands Homes
The Highlands is Louisville's most iconic urban neighborhood — a walkable, eclectic stretch of historic homes along Bardstown Road. Victorian-era homes, four-squares, and early 20th century bungalows carry decades of renovation history — some done right, many done wrong. Permit-less additions, DIY electrical, crumbling terracotta sewer lines, and basement water intrusion are all common findings. In the Highlands' competitive market, a HomeMD inspection is your negotiating edge.
