Walnut Creek Georgetown KY - All You Need To Know

by Christy Wethington

Walnut Creek

TLDR: Walnut Creek is where you find the upgraded suburban life in Georgetown. It is an established, high-value neighborhood known for its larger, traditional homes and generous lots, often featuring finished basements and high-end finishes. You are selling space and established quality. Prices generally range from the low $400000s to the high $600000s, sometimes higher. This data is estimated based on recent property tax assessments and off market property records.

Neighborhood Overview

This is not a starter home community; it is a destination neighborhood. The houses here offer a traditional aesthetic with modern space requirements. Think brick facades, mature landscaping, and larger square footage. These homes were built with a higher grade of finish than the typical production home, giving your buyer the quality they demand without the two-year wait of new construction. The community features large homes, many of which are 2,500 square feet or more, with 3 to 4 bedrooms.

HOA/Amenities The HOA fees are reasonable for the size of the community. Records indicate annual fees around $320 to $390 annually, which translates to a low monthly cost. This fee helps maintain the neighborhood's curb appeal and preserves property values. Some properties mention access to a park amenity.
Housing Stock Expect two-story, traditional single family residences with a focus on square footage and privacy. Many homes feature luxury details like hardwood floors, master bedrooms on the first floor, walk in closets, and often full basements or large crawl spaces.
