Louisville neighborhoods are as unique
as you.
Greater Louisville is full of diverse neighborhoods and housing options. We have pedestrian districts so well-served you don’t need to buy a car, rural areas so secluded you can’t even see your closest neighbor and everything in between. It’s the perfect balance of the big-city feel and small-town charm.
Indoor Fun
Nothing can hold us down. Rain or shine, there’s always something to do in Lou. Explore museums that feature art, history, bourbon, science and sports. Check out our robust public library system in spaces that will fire your imagination. Eat your way through a gray day in “America’s Favorite Cities for Food” by Travel + Leisure. Or take in a live performance at KFC Yum! Center or the Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts – home to the Louisville Ballet, Louisville Orchestra and Kentucky Opera. Louisville is one of the few U.S. cities with a full suite of resident performing arts organizations, making it a cultural standout.
Outdoor Fun
Instead of living in a city with miles of concrete, choose to Live the Life in Louisville with over 170 miles of walking and hiking trails, from the Louisville Loop to The Parklands of Floyds Fork. Prefer to take in the day from a river front view? Louisville has 50 miles of Ohio Riverfront within Jefferson County to explore. Or you can hit the links at 14 public and semi-public golf courses. Maybe catch the Pickleball craze on one of 70+ courts across 16 parks throughout the city. Ready to unleash your inner animal? 1,200 furry and scaley friends await you on 134 acres of the Louisville Zoo. Get outside. Play outdoors. Live wide open.
BE THE BEST PARENT
Work life balance is so much easier to achieve when you live in a place with plenty of fun things for the fam to do. Where else can you go underground ziplining in a Mega Cavern? Spend a few hours enjoying your kids travel soccer team and then head over to Lynn Family Stadium to take in a pro soccer Racing or LouCity game? Take a boat ride on the river and then eat a plate of nachos on the shoreline. From the Kentucky Science Center to the Kentucky Kingdom & Hurricane Bay water park, the joy ride here never ends.
Furry Family
Louisville didn’t get named one of the most dog-friendly cities in America for nothing. From The Barklands at Beckley Creek to Cochran Hill at Cherokee Park, from PG&Js Dog Park Bar to Molly Malone’s pet friendly patio, feel free to bring Rover right over. If horsing around is more your thing, we have public riding stables and dedicated equestrian trails in three area parks. It’s purrfectly fine to hang out with Ms. Jingles at the Cat Café. In this town, you can’t keep a good boy down.
Senior Care
Louisville is a place where seniors can Thrive. Here we are committed to promoting healthy aging through technology and education. Healthcare is truly the hub of our business and civic community. In Greater Louisville, aging adults have access to consistent, quality care across the continuum: from independent living to in-home care to assisted living and skilled facilities. Helping others to live a long, fulfilling life is one of Louisville’s most prized traditions.
