Mortonsville's has a rural lifestyle within commuting distance of larger cities
Centuries-old oak trees shade the farmland in Mortonsville, Kentucky, a community that's remained primarily rural for the past 200 years. Livestock fences separate private properties from quiet roads, and the nearest grocery store is in Versailles, 7 miles away. "Mortonsville is not a very dense community," says David Humes, a Realtor with Christie's International Real Estate Bluegrass who has lived in the area since the early 1980s. "It's a big horse town….there are a lot of thoroughbred farms, and we used to have a lot of tobacco crops, but now it's mostly soybeans and hay." Downtown Lexington, which is home to more than 320,000 people, a large public research university, and plenty of employment opportunities, is 18 miles west. Kentucky's capital city is a little over 20 miles north, offering an escape from rural life.
There is no public transportation in Mortonsville, so residents typically drive to nearby cities like Lexington or Frankfort.
Properites in Mortonsville are within 90 minutes of both Churchill Downs and Keeneland race tracks.

Homes are on multiple acres with space for horses
There are farmhouses, midcentury ranch-style houses and New Traditionals across Mortonsville. Properties rarely go on the market, and prices vary dramatically depending on lot size — the median cost for a single-family home is $525,000. Humes says it's common for residents to keep horses and maintain hobby farms on their land, and some live within several hundred acres of their nearest neighbor. Within the last few years, Mortonsville has welcomed new subdivisions like Sugartree, where townhouses can range from around $450,000 to $500,000. The community's CAP Index Crime Score is 1 out of 10, well below the national average of 4.
