Hillsborough
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
A late-1970s to early-1980s neighborhood spanning three subsections (Hillsborough North, West, and West 2) with split-level, ranch, and Colonial-style homes of 1,800 to 2,200 sq ft on sub-quarter-acre lots. A wooded, park-like setting with biking and hiking trail access gives the area a quieter, more nature-adjacent feel than its central Louisville location would suggest.
