One website says that the most expensive place to live in Kentucky is in a small city with less than 3,000 people. CashNetUSA, an online lender, says that the average home price in Simpsonville, which is about 30 minutes from downtown Louisville, is $1,569,977. Simpsonville was named the most expensive neighborhood in Kentucky.
Real estate information from Zillow was used by CashNetUSA to find neighborhoods in towns and cities in all 50 U.S. states. The average price in each neighborhood was found by adding up all the home prices in that area and dividing that number by the number of homes. We didn’t look at neighborhoods with less than 10 entries, and we thought of villages and small towns, like Simpsonville, as neighborhoods inside of cities.
