Another Louisville neighborhood in the high-end Prospect area is Hunting Creek. Built to accompany Hunting Creek Country Club, this subdivision has the amenities every Louisville homeowner desires.
First, the country club provides a terrific 18-hole golf course for families of Hunting Creek to enjoy. In fact, the course was founded in 1964 to be just that-a private family club. This 6,950 yard course offers residents championship-level play, the perfect challenge for avid golfers. Golfers enjoy the beauty surrounding them, with full views of Kentucky's rolling hills throughout the course. Not only this, but players also enjoy views of the Ohio River and the woods of Southern Indiana. And for more enjoyment off the course, the club house offers several dining areas, some of which offer a panoramic view of the eighteenth hole.
In addition to the championship course, Hunting Creek also offers its residents the opportunity to try their skill on any of its SIX clay tennis courts or its hard tennis court. With so much space to play, you're sure to always find an open court for your game.
And in the hot summer months when golf and tennis aren't calling your name, Hunting Creek has the perfect Olympic-sized swimming pool to provide the cool down you desire. Residents have the option to join the pool and experience the summer sun and the companionship of neighbors as children play, swim, and grow together.
Prospect is the perfect Louisville city to call Hunting Creek its own. As one of the few cities that crosses county lines, Prospect provides its residents access to both the busy life of Jefferson County and the metro area as well as the quiet escape of far western Oldham County. And people are discovering how convenient living here actually is, as statistics prove. In fact, Prospect "grew more, percentage wise, than any other city of significant size in Jefferson County, Kentucky during the 1990s." http://www.prospectky.com/ The city's "spacious residential homes, luxury condominiums and apartment complexes, and ... businesses located in a centralized shopping village" all come together perfectly to make Prospect an excellent place to live. And Hunting Creek is a terrific place to begin your search!

The city of Louisville is known worldwide for two main things: Kentucky Fried Chicken and the Kentucky Derby, which takes place every year at Churchill Downs. But the Derby isn't the only thing taking place there; No, indeed, Churchill Downs is home to some of Louisville's finest entertainment, and is one of the reasons that Louisville has been named as one of the top ten "Mancation" destinations. http://multivu.prnewswire.com/mnr/tripadvisor/37991/
In fact, Trip Advisor, the "World's most trusted travel advice," outlined ten cities that specifically offer "a wide range of ways to bond with the boys on a guys-only getaway." http://multivu.prnewswire.com/mnr/tripadvisor/37991/ Number seven on the list that included cities like Las Vegas, New York, and Denver was none other than our very own Louisville, Kentucky. The suggested "mancation" was entitled "Horsing Around," and included entertainment options such as Churchill Downs, the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, and bars that stay open until 4am every night.
But Churchill Downs has something to offer both the ladies and the men who visit. Events include:
Pink Fridays: Free admission to anyone who wears Pink every Friday in April
Keeneland Opening Day: An opportunity to experience Keeneland's opening in Churchill Downs' simulcasting facility
Fantasy Stakes: An opportunity to "watch and wager" in the simulcasting facility
Downs After Dark: Night time racing opportunities
Kentucky Oaks: The "preamble" to the Derby
Kentucky Derby: THE "fastest two minutes in sports"-the most prestigious horse race in the world
You can purchase tickets online to the Oaks, Derby 136, Spring Races, Downs After Dark, and more online. Prices greatly vary, so you're sure to find an even that works for you. So get your Derby hat, choose your horse, make your wager, and come on out to Churchill Downs for the night or day out you've been needing for a long time.

Calm. Equipped. Determined. These three terms summarize our experience with The Vince Carter Team. They calmly navigated difficult situations that could have easily de-railed our home purchase. Their team was thoroughly equipped to provide answers to every question, contractors for every task, and a solid response in every negotiation. Determined to deliver a home that satisfied our hopes and desires, The Vince Carter Team dedicated themselves to serving our family and successfully helped us find and purchase a home that not only satisfied our desires, but exceeded them. The Vince Carter Team is your solution to any of your real estate needs!
We were put to ease from our first meeting until we closed on our house because Vince attentively listened to our needs, and quickly acted on his search to find our first home.
I'm so glad to have a place where I can brag on this real estate team! Vince and 
Courtney Carter went above and beyond the role of an agent as Dominic and I bought our first home. The process seemed scary, but they both encouraged us through it with combined expertise. They sought solutions to road blocks with our lender before we even knew they were there. Our closing was a success and we LOVE our new home! We will enthusiastically list our place with them when it's time to sell. Thanks, y'all!

After searching long and hard, my husband and I finally found our dream home. Not only was it exactly what we were looking for but the knowledge, determination, and professionalism we received from Vince made our home buying experience a great one. As we began this process Vince was patient, understanding, and helpful.
Vince made buying a home a true enjoyment. He was easy to talk to, a good listener, easy to contact, and always prompt at returning our calls or answering our questions. Best of all, Vince is a realtor who puts your needs before his own! I would highly recommend him for anyone who wants to buy or sell a home because of his attention to details, knowledge of the field, and his energetic attitude.

I just wanted to say thanks so much to Vince Carter with Keller Williams Realty and the excellent job you have done helping Melissa and I sell our home. My agent, Vince Carter is probably the best real estate agent I have ever worked with.
I have worked with other companies in the past and because of Vince's superb honesty and people skills we have sold our home. I firmly believe that if it had not been for Vince's honesty and integrity on the best way to sell our home we would still have our house on the market. Vince knew the market very well and gave us some great ideas to help us sell our home.
One more note, since our house went up on the market just a short time ago, many homes in our neighborhood are still for sale. I actually do not know one home that has sold other than ours, and I give all the credit to Vince Carter and his effective strategy. I hope that people will see the sold sign in our yard and perhaps switch to Vince as a new agent or refer him to friends and family who may be thinking about buying or selling a home in the near future.
Thanks again for your help. Not only are you very knowledgeable about real estate, but you actually care about your clients...IT SHOWS!!!
Jason and Melissa Klamm

Vince and Courtney Carter provided us with professional, trustworthy, and excellent hlep with buying our first home. Additionally, it was a great relief to know we could trust that their intentions were for our good.
Mark & Libbie Timmons -- First Time Home Buyers

As I first-time home buyer, I had a multitude of questions about the purchasing process; everything from financing, what my needs would be, home inspections, closing, etc. From the very beginning, Vince was very helpful in laying out what I would need to do each step of the way and making sure I was comfortable with what we were doing. He was very pro-active in searching out homes that met my standards, and giving an honest opinion - without being pushy - about the homes we were viewing.
Most importantly, Vince was very reliable - and available. He was usually just a phone call away, and he often rearranged his schedule to fit mine in order to view homes or fill out the necessary paperwork in order to keep the process moving. Vince comes with high recommendation from me, that's for sure.

It was a pleasure working with Vince and Courtney. Vince showed interest in my wants and needs to help me find a place. He even worked hard to show me the pros & cons of every house. I was a first time home buyer and had my mother and sister along for the ride. That alone would have drove any realtor crazy, but Vince was always professional and ready to answer all of our questions. Thank you for helping me with my first home!
