Housing and Neighborhoods

Your dream place to live might be a sleek, modern loft that looks out over the galleries, restaurants and shops of a downtown street –just down the block from the ballpark.

It might be a newly built suburban spread with a wide lawn in front and a golf course at the back. It might be a place on the river, as easy to reach by boat as automobile.

It might be a sprawling two-story Victorian by a park – everything so green and thickly wooded that it’s hard to tell where the park ends and the residences begin.

Whatever you want, you can find it here – and affordable: Housing costs are 13 percent below the national average. Louisville is known for quality housing at every price level, at every point of the map.

The city’s neighborhoods complement that dream domicile. There are pedestrian districts so well-served by bus you don’t need to buy a car, rural areas so secluded you can’t even see your closest neighbor, and most every alternative in between (except, maybe, the sort of suburb that’s a two-hour commute from work – we don’t have traffic like that).

They’re all a part of finding your perfect spot in Possibility City.
