Louisville, Kentucky’s largest city, sits on the Ohio River along the Indiana border. Founded in 1778, much of the 341.4 square-mile city is on a wide and flat floodplain surrounded by hills. Its median age is 37.7 (2022). Healthcare, medical sciences, product manufacturing, and shipping and logistics are its main industries.

Homebuyers will discover a choice of bungalows, shotgun shacks, and homes in Federal, Craftsman, Second Empire, and Tudor Revival styles. The typical home value is $233,070, up 10% over the past year (Zillow, 2022). Every May, Louisville’s racecourse, Churchill Downs, hosts the Kentucky Derby, a renowned horse race. The city isn't just about horses, though. Residents can also enjoy theater festivals and the Kentucky State Fair.

Louisville is served by the east-west I-64 and north-south I-65. I-64 provides access to the Bonnycastle neighborhood, a quaint area filled with tree-lined streets and Tudor, Victorian, and Craftsman-style houses. Butchertown lies just off I-64 on the north end. Historic shotgun-style homes and Greek Revival-style houses stand out in this hip and up-and-coming area. Crescent Hill, also off I-64, is one of the larger family-friendly neighborhoods. Its real estate includes cozy cottages, brick bungalows, modern Ranch-style homes, and Southern-style estates.

Each neighborhood in Louisville has its own flavor and unique things to do, so there’s always something new to discover in the city.
