40220 is Hikes Point, Klondike, Bon Air and the Taylorsville Road corridor between the Watterson and Hurstbourne Parkway. It is where I live, and it is the most central single-family ZIP in the county: 10 minutes to downtown, 10 to the East End, 10 to the airport, with brick ranches and two-stories on real lots.

What the homes look like
1950s–1970s brick ranches and split-levels in Hikes Point and Klondike, 1960s–1980s two-stories in Bon Air and off Hikes Lane, condos and patio homes near Taylorsville Road, and scattered newer infill. Most homes have garages and basements; many have been opened up and updated.
What your money buys in 40220
- Under $225,000: the entry point: smaller homes, homes that need updating, and the occasional estate sale. Expect competition from investors and first-time buyers.
- $225,000 to $400,000: the heart of the market here, right around the $290,000 typical sold price. Move-in-ready homes in this band are what most buyers in 40220 are shopping for.
- Over $400,000: the larger, updated or newer homes, bigger lots, and the top streets in the ZIP. These sit on the market a little longer and leave more room to negotiate.
Run a payment on any of these with the Kentucky mortgage payment calculator, and if you are a first-time buyer check the down payment assistance screener before you decide what you can afford.
Getting around
Taylorsville Road, Hikes Lane and Breckenridge Lane shopping and restaurants, Bowman Field, Seneca Park a few minutes north, and the Watterson Expressway for fast access anywhere. The Louisville Zoo and I-64 are both close.
Property taxes, schools and the practical details
Mostly outside the Urban Services District in unincorporated Jefferson County or small cities, so combined rates run lower than the Highlands next door. Check the exact district; a few blocks on the west border are inside the USD.
Estimate the real bill for any address with the Jefferson County property tax calculator by taxing district, and if you are 65 or older or fully disabled, read about the homestead exemption on that page. School assignments: JCPS uses an address-based system with choice zones, so check the exact address in the district's official school finder at jefferson.kyschools.us rather than relying on a listing's school fields. Flood zones: a handful of Louisville ZIPs have creek and river floodplains, so review the Louisville flood zone guide before you write an offer.

Prices vary a lot by street and condition, so use these as a starting point and ask for comparable sales on the specific home.
Is 40220 a buyer's or seller's market right now?
With 89 homes for sale and about 36 sales a month, 40220 has roughly 2.5 months of supply. Rob's rule of thumb is that about 3.5 months is balanced, so this currently reads as a seller's market. Inventory across Louisville is up sharply from a year ago, which gives buyers more choice than they have had since 2019.
How fast do homes sell in 40220?
Over the last 12 months, homes in 40220 averaged 24 days on market before going under contract. Well-priced, move-in-ready homes go faster than that; homes that need work or are priced for last year's market sit longer.
