Neighborhoods & Housing Areas
Georgetown has three distinct flavors of housing — walkable village core, new-construction subdivisions, and rural acreage. What you prioritize determines where you should look.
Georgetown Village
The original town center along State Road 64 with older homes, local shops, the Georgetown Bakery, and the Village Coffeehouse. Housing stock includes ranch homes, Cape Cods, and some older two-stories on modest lots. Walkable to essentials and the community garden.
Springs of Old Georgetown
A 55-lot new construction development by ASB Custom Homes with slab and basement options. Modern open floor plans, granite countertops, and vaulted ceilings. Floyd Central school district and minutes from I-64. The closest thing to a turnkey neighborhood in Georgetown.
Rural Georgetown & Acreage
The surrounding township offers larger lots and multi-acre properties with rolling hills, mature trees, and privacy. Custom-built homes on two to fifteen or more acres are common. Well and septic are typical outside town limits. Ideal for buyers who want space.
Henriott Meadows
A 66-lot subdivision offering affordable new construction with three bedrooms, two baths, and two-car garages as standard. Homes range from 1,300 to 1,700+ square feet with basement options available. An entry point for first-time buyers who want new and Floyd Central schools.
Highlander Point & Floyds Knobs Edge
The area between Georgetown and Floyds Knobs features upscale homes with hilltop views, larger lots, and easy access to both communities. Buyers who want Georgetown's price advantage with Floyds Knobs proximity look here.
I-64 Corridor Properties
Properties along the I-64 corridor at Exit 118 offer the best commute positioning for Louisville-bound workers. A mix of established subdivisions and scattered-site custom builds. Some light commercial activity along State Road 64 closer to the interchange.
Georgetown Real Estate Overview
Georgetown is a town of roughly 3,800 people in Floyd County, Indiana, platted in 1833 by George Waltz and named after its founder (2020 Census: 3,805). It sits about 14 miles west of downtown Louisville just off Interstate 64 at Exit 118, which makes it functionally part of the Louisville metro while feeling nothing like it. The town's identity is defined by tight community bonds, rolling Southern Indiana terrain, and a school pipeline that parents actively seek out.
Housing in Georgetown ranges from older village homes starting in the low $200,000s to new construction in developments like Springs of Old Georgetown (55 lots, starting around $290,000) and Henriott Meadows (66 lots). Buyers looking for space will find multi-acre tracts with custom homes that can exceed $500,000 depending on acreage and build quality. The broader Georgetown Township has a median household income above $110,000 — well above both the Floyd County and Indiana state averages — which reflects the type of established, income-stable families the area attracts.
The school draw is significant. Georgetown Elementary feeds into Highland Hills Middle School and then Floyd Central High School — ranked 25th in Indiana by U.S. News & World Report with a 96% graduation rate and an Early College High School program in partnership with Ivy Tech Community College. For families who are comparison-shopping school districts, the Floyd Central pipeline is a strong factor in Georgetown's favor over many competing communities.
Property taxes benefit from Indiana's homestead cap structure, which limits primary residence taxes to 1% of assessed value. Georgetown's effective property tax rate sits around 0.81% — below the national median of 1.02% and competitive within Floyd County. As with any tax-related decision, buyers should verify current rates with the Floyd County Assessor's Office, as rates change annually based on local budgets and levies.
Georgetown is also home to the Georgetown Drive-In Theatre, a family-owned, dual-screen outdoor cinema operating since 1951 — one of the last drive-in theaters in the Louisville metro area and a genuine community institution. Nearby attractions include Huber's Orchard & Winery, Indian Creek Winery, and Caesars Southern Indiana casino, all within a short drive. The town itself has a community garden, Garry E. Cavan Park, local restaurants, and a sense of pace that's hard to find this close to a major metro.

Why Buyers Choose Georgetown
Georgetown doesn't have riverfront condos or an arts district. What it has is a value proposition that's hard to match in the Louisville metro — especially for families.
Floyd Central School Pipeline
Georgetown Elementary to Highland Hills Middle to Floyd Central High — one of Indiana's top-ranked public school pathways. A 96% graduation rate, Advanced Placement coursework, and an early college program through Ivy Tech. This is the primary reason many families target Georgetown specifically.
Value for the Dollar
New construction starting around $260K, established homes in the low $200s, and multi-acre properties that would cost significantly more in comparable Louisville-area school districts. The same dollar buys more house, more land, and better schools than most of the metro.
Safety & Community
Georgetown consistently rates as one of the safest communities in the Louisville metro. Residents describe a small-town atmosphere where neighbors know each other, kids play outside, and the pace of life is intentionally slower. That isn't marketing — it's the lived experience.
Indiana Tax Advantages
Indiana's homestead property tax cap limits primary residence taxes to 1% of assessed value. Georgetown's effective rate is roughly 0.81% — below the national median. Indiana also generally does not tax most retirement income. Tax rules change, so verify with a professional.
Louisville Access via I-64
Roughly 20 minutes to downtown Louisville via the toll-free Sherman Minton Bridge. Far enough to feel like you've left the city behind, close enough to commute daily without stress. New Albany is only about 10 minutes away for shopping and dining.
Small-Town Character
The Georgetown Drive-In Theatre has been showing movies under the stars since 1951. There's a community garden, local coffeehouse, bakery, and a community park system. Nearby Huber's Orchard & Winery and Indian Creek Winery round out the quality-of-life picture.
