I read an interesting story on the WSJ today called, Housing Blogs Throw Stones. It seems that many are taking out their real estate frustrations by going online and blasting away at other people’s houses… verbally, of course.

Louisville, Kentucky generally has mild winters but that doesn’t mean we should not take advantage of every opportunity to save money on our heating bills. You never know when we’ll have another massive snowstorm like we had this past year.
Home to Homearama in 2006, Beech Spring Farm is another grand, east-end neighborhood that caters to homeowners with exquisite tastes. The subdivision is located off Barbour Ln. near Brownsboro Farm, just down Highway 22 from Springhurst and Norton Commons, east of Prospect. This is a great place to consider if you’re looking for high-end homes built within the past five years in a neighborhood located inside the Gene Snyder Expressway so that you’re close to shopping, restaurants, and transportation.

Woodmont is another up-scale, east-end neighborhood that got its start at the beginning of the new millennium. Off Old Henry Road, Woodmont is close to expressways but still feels like it’s in a private setting away from commercial clutter. Across the street from Fox Run and near Lake Forest, this neighborhood has newer homes from the mid $300s up to the $500s sitting on 1/3 to 1/2 acre lots on average. With a clubhouse/pool and the gently rolling hills, Woodmont might be just what you’re looking for!
