Per square foot, they were nearly identical: about $203 in Hunting Creek and about $201 in Fox Harbor (GLAR MLS, Oct. 2025 – Sep. 2026).

What makes Hunting Creek and Fox Harbor different?
The biggest differences are variety, the club and how often homes come up.
- Variety vs. consistency. Hunting Creek's 29 sales ran from condos under 1,100 square feet to homes on 3.5 and 6 acres. Fox Harbor's five sales were all 4–5 bedroom homes built within a seven-year span.
- The club. Hunting Creek surrounds Hunting Creek Country Club, a private club with its own membership process. Fox Harbor doesn't have a club of its own.
- Location. The City of Prospect says Fox Harbor's entrance is off U.S. 42, directly across from the Prospect Point Center, and notes its elevated, tree-filled setting. Hunting Creek is the City's first subdivision, slightly northeast of the city center with access from U.S. 42.
- How often homes come up. Hunting Creek had 29 sales in 12 months to Fox Harbor's 5. If Fox Harbor is your first choice, expect to wait for the right one.

Homes of almost the same size sold more than $300,000 apart. That tells you condition, updates and lot drive value in Fox Harbor, not square footage alone.
How do Hunting Creek's prices break down?
Hunting Creek's 29 sales fall into clear price tiers:
- Under $300,000: 3 sales, all condos under 1,100 square feet
- $300,000 – $599,999: 14 sales
- $600,000 – $899,999: 10 sales
- $900,000 and up: 2 sales, both on more than 3 acres
That spread means Hunting Creek has homes at very different budgets, and you need tight comparable sales to price any one of them.
Which one fits you: Hunting Creek or Fox Harbor?
Start with Hunting Creek if you want club access nearby or more price points; look at Fox Harbor if you want a smaller neighborhood of similar-size 1970s homes near the U.S. 42 shopping corner. Either way, Fox Harbor's five-sale sample is small, so price a specific home off its closest comparable sales, not the median.
Both share a few practical facts:
- County. Every home that sold in both neighborhoods this past year was in Jefferson County, so both use the Jefferson County PVA and JCPS. Check the JCPS School Finder for the specific address.
- HOAs. Confirm the specific association, dues and rules for any home in either neighborhood. The City of Prospect keeps HOA contact information: (502) 228-1121.

What's at stake, and what does success look like?
The risk is choosing on the median alone. Two neighborhoods with medians $27,000 apart can hide a $300,000 spread inside one of them. Picking based on that number, or skipping the club and county questions, can mean paying more than the comparable sales support or missing a home that fit better.
Success looks like this: you know which neighborhood matches the home you want, you've seen the sales that support your price, and you've confirmed the county, HOA and club details before you make an offer.
