Hillview Home with Vaulted Ceilings and Fenced Yard
A sense of volume defines this Hillview residence: vaulted ceilings lift the main living spaces and give even modest rooms a generous, airy feel. At 1,310 square feet, 3803 Hillcross Drive blends classic late-20th-century construction with smart updates — vinyl siding, central air, and a modern kitchen finished with granite countertops and a tile backsplash. The kitchen's materials and sightlines make everyday cooking and weekend gatherings equally comfortable.
Two well-proportioned bedrooms and a single, efficiently laid-out bathroom sit apart from the living area, offering privacy without wasted square footage. The home spans three stories with a crawl-space basement, and the condition is listed as good — move-in ready for a first-time buyer or a renter-ready investment. Natural gas heating and a shingled roof round out practical systems that are common and serviceable for the neighborhood.
Outside, the 0.14-acre lot offers a fenced backyard large enough for children, pets, or a garden, with driveway parking for two vehicles. The property’s level lot and standard residential frontage on Hillcross Drive make access and routine maintenance straightforward. Vinyl siding keeps exterior upkeep low while preserving curb appeal.
Location is a quiet strength: Hillview Shopping Center is roughly a half-mile away for errands and dining, McNeely Lake Park is about 1.2 miles for fishing and trails, and Jefferson Mall sits approximately 2.5 miles from the front door. Recent ownership activity shows the house sold in February 2024 for $180,000; valuation work places market value between $195,000 and $215,000, making this an attractive entry point into a steadily appreciating pocket of south Louisville.
Whether you’re seeking a compact primary home with tasteful updates or an income property with stable rental demand, 3803 Hillcross Drive presents a practical combination of scale, location, and recent improvements. All material facts should be verified through inspection and public records prior to purchase.

A factual market snapshot around 3803 Hillcross Drive.
Hillview’s residential market is currently balanced with signs of steady, moderate appreciation. Local MLS data show average days on market near 35 and roughly 2.5 months of inventory — conditions that favor neither aggressive sellers nor large buyer concessions. Comparable single-family sales within a half-mile in the past six months closed in the $224K–$241K range on homes slightly smaller than 3803 Hillcross, giving context to this property’s estimated market midpoint of $205,000 (about $156/SF). That price sits below recent comp price-per-square-foot averages (roughly $187–$224/SF), suggesting room for value capture for buyers.
Single-family homes in Hillview typically move within a month to six weeks when priced in line with condition and size; the neighborhood has recorded ~5% appreciation year-over-year and roughly 25% over five years. For buyers, this creates an opportunity to secure a substantially updated 2BR home at an entry-level price; for investors, projected rents and comparables indicate steady rental demand. Prospective purchasers should monitor inspection findings and local inventory shifts, but current data point to a market where well-priced, updated homes transact reliably and relatively quickly.
