Oldham County

Oldham County is also part of the Kentucky's famous Bluegrass Region and residents are privy to the same natural beauty, horse farms and quaint historic charm that characterizes Kentucky's heartland. Comprised of the towns of Westport, Brownsboro, Buckner, LaGrange, Pee Wee Valley, Crestwood and Ballardsville, Oldham County has a combined population of over 44,395 residents and covers over 189 square miles.

Oldham County was founded in 1823 and named in honor of Revolutionary War hero Colonel William Oldham. Currently, Oldham County is one of the fastest growing areas in Kentucky as young professionals, families and retirees take advantage of the area's close proximity to major urban centers. Louisville is a mere 26 miles away while Lexington is 87 miles making both cities possibilities for employment.

Predominantly rural, Oldham County has greatly benefited from the well-planned system of Interstates and Highways that has galvanized the region. Both US 42 and I 71 bisect Oldham County while Kentucky highways 146, 22, 323, 53 and 329 efficiently connect the rest of the area. Located in the heart of the state, Oldham County lies along the Ohio River and is bordered on the north by Trimble County, on the east by Shelby and Henry Counties, on the south by Jefferson County and by the state of Indiana to the west.

Life in Oldham County is easy and relaxed. Friendly and safe, steeped in history and surrounded by scenic splendor it is no wonder so many people are calling Oldham County home. A drive along US 42, a 14-mile corridor designated as the Kentucky Scenic Byway reveals all the beauty of the surrounding countryside. Horse farms and professional training facilities are abundant throughout the area, breathtaking views of the Ohio River make the drive worthwhile and historic homes of national landmark distinction are everywhere. The Rob Morris Home, the Duncan Memorial Chapel and the Westport General Store are waiting to be explored. Local festivals promote tourism and encourage community intimacy. Or take a drive to nearby Louisville and enjoy a wide world of cosmopolitan delights.

Real Estate Tips

Remodeling and Renovations >Damp Environments

If you are a typical home buyer, you are likely to eliminate a home with a basement that has water stains or mildew on the walls or floors. Before you completely rule out a home that you really like because of a water issue, you should get an expert's opinion.

A basement can often be dried out easily. A new set of gutters, repairs to a plugged up outdoor drain, or simple regrading of soil around the foundation may solve the problem. A home inspector or water-proofing company can give you an idea about what is causing the dampness, as well as how much you will have to pay to waterproof the area. Sometimes the home owner will consider negotiating the repair costs with the buyers, especially if the alternative is no offer at all. If the house is a "fixer-upper" and priced accordingly, you could get an excellent value that more timid buyers might pass up.
