Top neighborhoods in Louisville

  • Portland

    Portland

    What it’s like to live in Portland

    River heritage defines Portland, where Louisville's northwestern neighborhood maintains authentic Ohio River connections through both architecture and community events. The district offers Kentucky's rare combination of historic properties and genuine affordability increasingly difficult to find in similarly-aged communities experiencing rapid gentrification. With downtown Louisville just minutes away, Portland provides urban accessibility without corresponding rental premiums that typically accompany such proximity in other cities.

    Pleasure Ridge Park

    What it’s like to live in Pleasure Ridge Park

    Family-friendly recreation thrives at the 140-acre Jefferson Memorial Forest's archery range. Renters appreciate large backyards but note sparse public transit options. The Iroquois Amphitheater's summer concerts draw crowds that dominate parking near Southern Parkway.

    Valley Station

    What it’s like to live in Valley Station

    Suburban affordability defines Valley Station, where Louisville's southwestern neighborhood offers significantly more space than urban options. The district surrounds several parks including Valley Traditional High School's extensive grounds, while nearby commercial corridors provide practical amenities within easy reach. Though downtown commutes require planning, most households find the trade-off worthwhile for significantly more living space and residential tranquility at competitive rates compared to central Louisville's increasingly premium-priced neighborhoods.

Living in Louisville, KY

"Louisville, Louisville / I'm wanna trade in Friday nights / For a piece of your heart / Me and you and burbon beating / Down in Echo Park." (-Damnwells, "Louisville")

Is the proper pronunciation “Looavuhl” and not “Looeesville”? Absolutely. But our “Possibility City” – Louisville, Kentucky’s slightly cheesy, but loving nickname – has so much more than that, including parks, recently laid out street bike lanes, and oh, that whole Derby thing. Time to take a gander into the apartments that make up the neighborhoods that make up this top 100 metro city to see which fits you to a T!

Old Louisville – In college and lovin’ it!!
