Welcome to our website, where you can search the Louisville MLS system for all Homes for Sale in the Highlands. The Highlands is an area just East of Louisville, Kentucky noted for it’s eclectic culture, active community lifestyle and wonderful, classic homes. The Highlands derives its name primarily because the land on which it sits is higher than the city of Louisville, thereby preventing flooding from the Ohio River. The area became popular after several major floods in the 1800s pushed residents of Louisville to find alternative areas to live that would not be subject to such frequent flooding.
