Serving five counties across the Louisville metro area
LeRoy Jewell Jr. has spent over two decades helping buyers and sellers across the Louisville metropolitan area. Whether you are looking for a historic home in Jefferson County, a family-friendly neighborhood in Oldham County, or affordable acreage in Spencer County, LeRoy has the local knowledge to guide you.
Jefferson County is the heart of the Louisville metro area — home to roughly 800,000 residents across 385 square miles of urban, suburban, and rural neighborhoods. It offers the most diverse housing stock of any county in the region, from historic Victorian homes in Old Louisville and the Highlands to new construction in Middletown and the East End.
Key communities: The Highlands, Crescent Hill, Germantown, St. Matthews, Middletown, Fern Creek, Hikes Point, Old Louisville, Bon Air, Okolona, Hurstbourne, and the Brownsboro Road corridor.
Schools: Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) is the largest school district in Kentucky. The county also has numerous well-regarded private and parochial school options.
Price range: Median home price approximately $309,000. Homes range from the low $100s for fixer-uppers and starter homes to $800,000+ for luxury properties in the East End and along the river.
Ask LeRoy about Jefferson County →Oldham County is Louisville's most affluent suburb, located about 20 miles northeast of downtown. It offers a rare combination: top-ranked schools, a peaceful rural atmosphere, and an easy commute into the city. It is also the fastest-growing county in Kentucky, attracting families who want the best of both worlds.
Key communities: La Grange (the county seat, with a charming historic downtown square), Prospect (fast-growing with newer neighborhoods), Crestwood, Goshen, and Buckner.
Schools: Oldham County Schools are consistently ranked among the top districts in Kentucky — a major draw for families with school-age children.
Price range: Median home price approximately $459,000, with an average of 29 days on market. Homes range from mid-$200s townhomes to $1M+ estates on acreage.
Ask LeRoy about Oldham County →Bullitt County lies just south of Louisville along the I-65 corridor toward Elizabethtown. It is one of the fastest-growing counties in the region, offering a suburban and rural mix at price points well below Jefferson and Oldham counties. For first-time buyers and families looking for more space, Bullitt County delivers outstanding value.
Key communities: Shepherdsville (county seat), Mt. Washington (the fastest-growing community), Hillview, Lebanon Junction, and Brooks.
Schools: Bullitt County Public Schools has been rated "proficient" four consecutive years. Notable high schools include Bullitt East, North Bullitt, and Bullitt Central.
Price range: Most homes fall in the high $200s to low $300s range — significantly more affordable than Jefferson or Oldham counties. Popular with first-time buyers seeking larger lots and newer construction.
Ask LeRoy about Bullitt County →Shelby County sits east of Louisville along the I-64 corridor and is known as the "American Saddlebred Capital of the World," with over 90 horse farms dotting the rolling countryside. It blends equestrian heritage and small-town charm with convenient interstate access to Louisville.
Key communities: Shelbyville (the county seat), Simpsonville, Finchville, and Waddy.
Schools: Shelby County Public Schools serves the area with a strong community-focused approach to education.
Price range: Median home price approximately $390,000. The market offers a mix of horse farms, rural estates, and suburban subdivisions — appealing to buyers who want a rural feel with easy Louisville access.
Ask LeRoy about Shelby County →Spencer County is the most rural of the five counties LeRoy serves — and that is exactly its appeal. Located southwest of Louisville near Taylorsville Lake, Spencer County offers a quiet, tight-knit community feel that is increasingly hard to find close to a major city.
Key communities: Taylorsville (the county seat), Fisherville, and Mt. Eden. Newer subdivisions such as Watkins Glen, Goebel Crossings, and Highview Estates have attracted buyers looking for modern construction on larger lots.
Schools: Spencer County Public Schools is a small, community-oriented district.
Price range: Lower price points than neighboring counties, with a mix of acreage and farmhouses alongside newer subdivision homes. A true "hidden gem" for buyers seeking privacy, land, and proximity to Taylorsville Lake recreation without Jefferson County prices.
