Posts about the Best Louisville Neighborhoods
Louisville new construction is still working to get out of the basement, so to speak. Here at Louisville Homes Blog, we’ve been talking about how new construction has been improving but honestly, there was nowhere to go but up!
Longwood is a fairly new, upscale neighborhood in Oldham County, directly across from the outstanding North Oldham schools near Paramont Estates. Similar in class to homes you might find in Prospect, Landis Lakes, or the newer parts of Lake Forest, there are some high-end homes in this great neighborhood.
Located in Buckner, Heather Green is an outstanding neighborhood that is still a couple of years away from completing its first phase. Custom-built homes are the norm, with a variety of styles that is pleasing to the eye, not cookie-cutter. Part of the award-winning Oldham County school system, homes in this neighborhood are sought after for both the quality of schools, larger lots, and new construction appeal.
Clifton is a tradition-rich part of Louisville with a broad range of home sizes and shapes. More than a century has passed since the first homes were built here, yet we still see homes merely a decade old filling in a space between its elder siblings. From homes under $100k that likely need some work, to elegant charmers over $300k, Clifton has them all.

Pine Valley Estates (once merely Pine Valley) is a still-growing community that began in 2001 and continues to be a great spot for new construction. Just outside of Jeffersontown, Pine Valley Estates is located off Easum Road between Old Heady Road and Chenoweth Run Road (see map). Nearby neighborhoods include Stone Lakes, Saratoga Woods, and the newer Saratoga Springs and Bridges of Razor Creek. Still situated in a rural part of Jefferson County but inside the Gene Snyder Expressway and close to expressways, shopping, and more.
Louisville’s East Market district has changed dramatically throughout the city’s history. In the mid-1800s, it was a city park named Woodland Gardens. The park was frequented by new Louisvillians, particularly German immigrants who were new to America.

Adam Graham posted a piece last week that highlighted ten hot neighborhoods in the U.S. that travelers might want to include in their itinerary. If someone had told me that a Louisville neighborhood was included in the list, my first thought would surely be The Highlands.

Indian Springs is one of my favorite neighborhoods in Louisville's East End. Partly because we used to live there. It's a great place! Another reason is that like GlenOaks, Glenmary,…
