Top neighborhoods in Louisville

Valley Station
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.

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.

What it’s like to live in Taylor Berry
Historic affordability characterizes Taylor Berry, where Louisville's established neighborhood offers distinctive architecture at surprisingly accessible price points. Housing options include both modest bungalows and small apartment buildings with more generous space than newer developments at similar price points. Strategic positioning between both Churchill Downs and University of Louisville creates ideal convenience for households connected to either institution, while excellent public transportation reduces car dependency despite Kentucky's typically automobile-oriented development patterns.

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!!
