It's easy to feel like you can't tell what a fair price is.

What is Hunting Creek in Prospect, KY?
Hunting Creek is the first subdivision that made up the City of Prospect, with about 945 single-family homes and townhomes surrounding Hunting Creek Country Club, according to the City of Prospect. The City describes it as slightly northeast of the city center, with access from U.S. Highway 42.
A few things that help when you're living in Hunting Creek or shopping there:
- It's inside the City of Prospect. The 40059 ZIP code covers an area far beyond the city limits, so a "Prospect" mailing address doesn't always mean the city. Hunting Creek is in the city.
- Estates of Hunting Creek is a separate, neighboring subdivision. The City describes it as about 235 single-family homes, reached through sections of Hunting Creek and from Covered Bridge Road, with many homes on the club's golf course. It's filed under its own name in the MLS, so it isn't in the Hunting Creek numbers below.
How much do homes in Hunting Creek cost?

How do Hunting Creek prices break down?
Most Hunting Creek sales landed between $300,000 and $900,000. Here's how the 29 sales split:
- 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
24 of the 29 homes had 3 to 5 bedrooms. The 22 single-family homes alone had a median sale price of $587,500. So if you're pricing a detached house, the overall $523,000 median is low, because the condos and townhouses pull it down.
What's the deal with Hunting Creek Country Club?
Hunting Creek Country Club is a private club at 6807 Foxcroft Road, established July 4, 1964, and owning a home in the neighborhood does not make you a member. Membership is its own process with the club.
| Club fact | Details |
|---|---|
| Established | July 4, 1964 |
| Type | Private club, 18-hole golf course |
| Amenities | Golf, tennis and pickleball, swimming, fitness and dining (per the club's 2026 release) |
| Management | Troon Privé, the private club operations division of Troon |
| Recent projects | Renovated clubhouse unveiled in 2020; The Overlook, a new poolside facility, opened in 2026 (club release dated Sept. 30, 2026) |
The name comes from a creek that crosses the club's 16th fairway. According to the club, an early partner in the course's design suggested "Hunting Creek" after streams on George Washington's Mount Vernon property.
If the club is part of why you want to live here, call the club about membership before you write an offer. Don't assume it comes with the house.

What county is Hunting Creek in?
All 29 Hunting Creek homes that sold from October 2025 through September 2026 were in Jefferson County. The City of Prospect sits in both Jefferson and Oldham counties, so still confirm the county on the PVA record for any specific address. It decides your property tax bill and your public school district.
For Jefferson County addresses, check the JCPS School Finder for the specific address. JCPS uses a student assignment plan, so neighbors don't always share the same schools.

Are there HOA fees in Hunting Creek?

The City keeps HOA contact information. You can call City Hall at (502) 228-1121. Once you're under contract, ask for the HOA documents and fee details early.

What should you check before buying in Hunting Creek?
Every Hunting Creek home that sold in the past year was built between 1964 and 1993, so the house itself deserves as much attention as the price.
- Major systems. Ask about the age of the roof, HVAC, windows, electrical panel and plumbing. On older homes, ask your inspector about a sewer scope.
- Course frontage. A home that backs to the course can sell in a different range than one a street over. Compare course-front homes to other course-front sales.
- Property type. If you're looking at a condo or townhouse, ask for its association documents and read them before you offer.
- Flood zone. Check FEMA's flood map for any home near a creek or low ground.
What's at stake, and what does success look like?
The risk in Hunting Creek is pricing a house off the wrong number. With sales from $170,000 to $1.65 million, a neighborhood median can put you tens of thousands of dollars off in either direction. Finding out about HOA rules, the county or club membership after you're under contract costs time and options.
Success looks like this: you know which recent sales support your offer, you've confirmed the county, HOA and club details for that address, and you walk into the inspection already knowing what to look at.
