Where exactly is Hikes Point?

Hikes Point is a Louisville neighborhood in the 40220 ZIP code, in the east of the city.

Hikes Point covers the 40220 ZIP in eastern Louisville, bounded by the Watterson Expressway to the north and Breckenridge Lane to the west, along the Taylorsville Road corridor. Several small independent cities sit entirely inside this ZIP — St. Regis Park, Hurstbourne Acres, Houston Acres, Meadowview Estates, Cambridge and Lincolnshire — along with part of Jeffersontown.

What is Hikes Point actually like?

Hikes Point is named for George Hikes, a Revolutionary War veteran who settled the land in 1791, but the neighborhood you see is almost entirely a postwar creation. A developer named Roy McMahan bought the Eberle farm in 1946 and built the subdivisions and shopping centres that still define it, which is why the housing is so consistent: 1950s and 1960s ranches on generous lots.

The Breckenridge Lane and Hikes Lane retail node has been the commercial centre for seventy years. Inventory is tight at 2.18 months, with homes going under contract in an average of 34 days.

If your address is in one of the small cities inside this ZIP, your city taxes and services come from that city rather than from Louisville Metro. Worth confirming before you price.

What schools serve Hikes Point?

Hikes Point is in Jefferson County, served by Jefferson County Public Schools. JCPS uses a school-choice system rather than strict address-based zoning: your address identifies a school that serves it, and families apply during an annual window that also includes magnet and optional programs. Use the district's SchoolFinder to see the options for a specific address.
