living in the country near Louisville (La Grange, Crestwood: foreclosures, houses, budget)

[C.Bekah]

Hello.
Are there any areas that you would recommend in the Louisville area to look for homes on a few acres of land? We are talking about a budget of about $200,000 for 3 or more acres and an updated home. Heres the trick...the home has to be in the eastern side of Louisville. Any suggestions?

If in Jefferson County, good luck. If in eastern Oldham, western Henry or Trimble, good odds.

The eastern side of Lousville is where you are going to find it, imo. (Or north). But I hope you mean a small ranch style house if you want it updated and on some land.

Anyway, it will be tough finding something in Jefferson County, although with all the foreclosures, maybe not as much as in the past. But I agree you'll have better luck in Oldham, Henry and maybe Shelby County.

Try Spencer Count..a little further out then Crestwood, etc but cheap and newer house wih a lot of land. Also La Grange has houses maybe with abut 2 acres or so in your range. Good luck!
