What we know about The Highlands

Why The Highlands homes are different.

Highest density of 100+ year old homes in Louisville. Tight lots, plaster walls, knob-and-tube rewires.

Wilson Way context: Bardstown Road bungalow kitchen (2024), second-story addition over raised basement (2023), full-home refresh (2024), ADU in backyard (2025). The Highlands (Bardstown Road, Baxter Avenue, Tyler Park area) is dense with 1900s-1920s bungalows and raised ranches. Most lots are 25-40 feet wide, and the housing stock includes craftsman bungalows, four-square homes, and the occasional Victorian. The walkable commercial corridors mean many homeowners prioritize curb appeal and front-porch living. We do a lot of kitchen-and-bath remodels in the Highlands, often paired with second-story additions for growing families. Permits: Louisville Metro Codes & Regulations.

We have been building in The Highlands for years. We know the permitting office, the inspectors, the local supply yards, and the trades. That means faster timelines, fewer surprises, and better outcomes for your project.
