Ballyshannon Homes for Sale

Types of Homes in Ballyshannon

Ballyshannon is a mixed-product community offering single-family homes, patio and paired patio homes, and condominiums on a plan scheduled for more than 1,287 total housing units. Fischer Homes builds here under several product lines — the Maple Street Collection at the efficient end, the Designer Collection in the middle, and the Masterpiece Collection at the top, where the largest plan exceeds 4,000 square feet. New-construction pricing has recently spanned roughly the $310,000s through the high $700,000s depending on collection, homesite and selections, with Masterpiece base plans generally starting in the $500,000s. Resale inventory in the neighborhood typically lists between the high $300,000s and $600,000s. Low-maintenance patio and paired patio plans give the community a range of exterior-maintenance structures within one association.

Amenities in Ballyshannon

Ballyshannon's amenity package centers on a swimming pool, splash pad, cabana and covered outdoor living area at the Ballyshannon Pavilion at 2501 Longbranch Road, along with a playground and a network of walking and bike paths threading the community. A neighborhood lake sits within the development. Because the community is still being built out in phases, amenity areas were constructed alongside the residential sections rather than all at once.

Schools Serving Ballyshannon

Ballyshannon is served by the Boone County School District. As of the date this page was last updated, assigned schools include Longbranch Elementary School (2805 Longbranch Road), Ballyshannon Middle School (7515 Shamrock Avenue) and Randall K. Cooper High School (2855 Longbranch Road). Ballyshannon Middle School is unusual in that it sits inside the subdivision itself, on Shamrock Avenue, and serves grades 6–8 with roughly 610 students; Longbranch Elementary and Cooper High School share a campus corridor about a mile and a half north on Longbranch Road. School assignments are subject to change. Buyers should verify current assignments directly with the Boone County School District before making any purchasing decisions based on school information.

Ballyshannon HOA and Community Governance

Every owner in Ballyshannon is a member of the Ballyshannon Community Association, Inc., a Kentucky nonprofit corporation governed by an elected board of directors and administered by Towne Properties as managing agent. An annual assessment funds maintenance of the association's common elements and the enforcement of its recorded Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions and architectural controls. Because the community includes single-family lots, patio lots and condominium units, the recorded declaration distinguishes between lot types — what the association maintains for a paired patio owner differs from what it maintains for a single-family lot owner. Buyers should read the declaration and the current budget for the specific product type they're considering, since dues and maintenance obligations are not uniform across the subdivision.

Parks Near Ballyshannon

Street Layout and Access in Ballyshannon

Ballyshannon's street naming follows an Old World Ireland theme carried through the entire development — Shamrock Avenue, Loch Drive, Limerick Court, Killarney and Green Gables among them — which makes the subdivision easy to identify in MLS and county records. The community is laid out in sequential phases stepping south from Longbranch Road, so the northern sections are the oldest and the southern sections nearest KY 536 are the newest. Site engineering for the development has been handled by Cardinal Engineering, with utilities, storm water and road design carried phase by phase as sections were platted.
