Welcome to Louisville!
Our hometown is known for many things, whether it’s as the birthplace of Muhammad Ali or the epi-center of what our Mayor has coined “bourbonism”, Louisville has many things to be proud of and experiences for you to enjoy while you are here. One sparkling gem that we don’t always get credit for and may not be “top of mind awareness” for everyone visiting our city is our tremendous parks system. From the “Godfather” of public parks planning, Frederick Law Olmsted, to our latest addition of the 21st Century Parks System featuring the Parklands of Floyds Fork, we as a city continue to recognize the importance of natural beauty and recreation. Coupled with our tremendous arts, culture and food ‘scenes’, our green space gives visitors, residents and their families a multi-faceted experience. From hiking to kayaking to more serene walks and picnics—Louisville parks have what you’re looking for. In particular, this publication features the many attributes of the Parklands of Floyds Fork, which we hope you will explore on your visit to our fair city. We hope you find that this publication will serve as a resource during your introduction to the Greater Louisville Area. Please let us know if you find that special “hidden gem” in your exploration of our area that we might have missed! Welcome to our hometown, and enjoy your visit!

A City of Parks Great cities have great parks. As cities grow, citizens of the 21st century deserve great public parks in or near their neighborhoods, providing accessible recreation, contemplation, and an enhanced quality of life. Floyds Fork is a tributary of the Salt River (which drains into the Ohio River), running 27 miles through the eastern and southeastern portions of Jefferson County, Kentucky. It is the largest watershed in Louisville, and one which, formerly rural, is now undergoing rapid residential and commercial development. Working with strategic partners, Louisville Metro government and the nonprofit Future Fund, 21st Century Parks has acquired nearly 4,000 acres of new parkland in the Floyds Fork watershed for a systemic, world-class edition to the Louisville Park System called The Parklands of Floyds Fork. 12
2018 Greater Louisville Relocation Guide
Louisville’s Legacy — A City of Parks In the early 1890s, Frederick Law Olmsted came to Kentucky to design one of his masterpieces: the Louisville parks system. Working on lands located well beyond the edge of the city, Olmsted created a ring of parks and parkways that remains one of Louisville’s most remarkable assets. As the city grew around these parks in the early twentieth century, they perfectly encapsulated Olmsted’s vision of “bringing nature into neighborhoods” as a way of shaping a city’s geography, its social interactions, and its economies. Today, these urban parks create some of the most livable neighborhoods in the nation.
A City of Parks Lessons Today Olmsted proved that well-designed public parks form the heart of thriving neighborhoods and vibrant cities. Rooted in Louisville’s century-old legacy of parklands designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the mission of 21st Century Parks reflects a passion for Louisville’s parks that includes a respect for both people and nature. They believe that parks are green infrastructure and that green infrastructure can provide livable communities now and for generations that follow 50-100 years from now.
“The mission of 21st Century Parks reflects a passion for Louisville’s parks that includes a respect for both people and nature. “ A New Legacy for the Future The Parklands of Floyds encompasses nearly 4,000-acres of preserved parklands stretching from Shelbyville Road in the north to Bardstown Photo Courtesy of Parkslands of Floyds Fork

Louisville is Buzzing with Housing Options
Article by Nancy Miller
Louisville is called Possibility City for exciting, tangible reasons. Unique neighborhoods, each with a compelling story, and thousands of housing options meet the diverse needs and lifestyles of singles, growing families, empty nesters and seniors. The Highlands, Crescent Hill and Old Louisville abound with historical character. Norton Commons and other developments are bringing their own vibrancy to what natives and newcomers affectionately call River City. Now is a great time to be a Louisvillian! New and expanding developments, large and small, are booming all around town. Companies with long-established local roots, as well as new enterprises, are building an array of both rent and own options. Downtown and 18
2018 Greater Louisville Relocation Guide
the surrounding environs are flourishing with residential opportunities that are debuting to appreciative audiences. “An emphasis on urban living and redevelopment has spread across the country. Twenty years ago, the Louisville landscape had little new multi-family development downtown and not much market rate housing,” says Phil Scherer, President of Commercial Kentucky. He says the catalysts that changed that were private developers and public/ private partnerships that elevated the energy level and vitality of downtown. In 1987 he developed Billy Goat Strut, at Hancock and Main Streets, one of the early mixed-use historic rehabilitations, in the Phoenix Hill neighborhood. He was also involved in
the building of the condo Preston Point and the 82-unit Fleur de Lis condominium, both on Main Street. His interest in the downtown residential rebirth sparked a major life change for him. “After living in Crescent Hill for 33 years, my wife and I moved to Preston Point where we have lived for 11 years. It’s a great lock-andleave environment and allows us to plug into the energy of downtown by simply walking out our front door,” he says. He points to developments adjacent to downtown as adding to the away-from-thesuburbs interests among Louisvillians and newcomers. Axis on Lexington is an upscale apartment complex with more than 300 units on nine acres at Payne Street and Lexington
Housing & Construction Road. Its developer, Cityscape Residential, is also the company behind Apex on Preston in the south end of Louisville. Scherer cites the Edwards Company’s projects at Baxter and Broadway and the former Mercy Academy location on Broadway as important residential additions to the city. The AMP, a 93-unit development on Brownsboro Road, increased residential options in the Clifton neighborhood. “There are lots of cities around the country in which older and younger folks want to be closer to a vibrant downtown where things are happening all the time, and there are numerous cultural events and food choices. Of course, many Millenials don’t want to own a car or mow the lawn. And, as cities are growing, there’s more movement of people leaving the country and suburbs and moving into the city. Also, as people leave big cities and come to Louisville, they want something that has the same downtown feel but is more easily maneuverable,” says Gill Holland, who has helped lead the revitalization of the East Market area, the food/restaurant/retail business/ art gallery district. He is president of the NuLu Business Association, and principal in Haystack Partners, which has about a dozen residential units and 14 commercial buildings in NuLu. According to Holland, 30,000 cars head east from 4 to 6 p.m. on weekdays, when East Market becomes a ‘super highway.’ “The area always had high visibility; it was just challenged. It was an area that was ripe for convincing people to slow down. We had to create it as a destination because no one lived there eight years ago,” he says. Although living in second and third floor apartments over retail shops has been typical in the last few years, a major new development promises to change that. He mentions the urban-styled 310 NuLu Apartments, at 310 S. Hancock. And, he sees Main and Clay in Historic Butchertown, a luxury apartment complex currently under development, as being integral to the growth of the burgeoning area. “Portland is for people who are a little more pioneering and who want to be part of an up-and-coming neighborhood. Three years ago
we announced a ten-year plan in Portland, but it’s becoming a five-year plan because with all the arts and cultural activities and the nonprofits located there, it’s going much faster than we predicted,” says Holland, who is also principal of the Portland Investment Group. Glamour is Back is the slogan for 800 Tower City Apartments, the City Club Company renovation of the former 800 Building, located at 800 South Fourth Street. “City Club’s owner, Jonathan Holzman, saw so much creativity, neat culture and rich history in Louisville. He wanted to be part of that,” says Emily Bixler, regional sales and marketing director. The building, which has 300 studio, one- and two-bedroom units, and is about two-thirds completely renovated, will feature a Sky Club, Bar Vetti restaurant and a roof-top pool. “The apartments are being rented as quickly as we can finish them,” notes Bixler. Underhill Associates converted an old
cotton mill to become Germantown Mill Lofts, 188 units with high-style industrial character, at 946 Goss Avenue. “With its proximity to U of L, downtown, Eastern Parkway and the Highlands, we saw the location as a great opportunity. The building lent itself to the redevelopment of a residential property because of its hardwood floors, big windows and high ceilings,” says Colin Underhill. “We are very high on Germantown. Tons of terrific things began happening there once we announced the project.” His company also purchased 44 unsold units in Regency Tower, on Highway 42. Rebranding the building included renaming it The George and updating and refurnishing the common areas. Louisville is, indeed, Possibility City, with spectacular housing options that have an abundance of individuality. Whether your tastes run toward contemporary or classic, we say, Welcome Home.

• Jefferson County is a unique blend of sophistication and metropolitan style with hometown pride and southern hospitality as the key ingredients. • Louisville is named among the top five “most stable real estate markets” by Zillow.com and eighth in Forbes’ 2014 America’s Most Affordable Cities. Outside Magazine also gave it the eighth spot on its “16 Greatest Places to Live in America” list. • There’s easy access to green spaces here, anchored by an Olmsteddesigned park system and the vision to build the nation’s largest urban park system. The nationally-recognized City of Parks initiative is preserving the area’s green spaces with a 100-mile paved walking loop trail that will tie together Louisville’s diverse parks and neighborhoods. (Louisville ranked among the “10 Best Bike-friendly cities” in the U.S. by USA Today.)
22
• The area’s healthy competitive spirit is evident. Whether its a youth soccer game at one of the county’s parks, rivalry high school football match-ups so big they have to be played in college stadiums, balloon races, rooting for the fastest thoroughbreds or filling out NCAA brackets with the Cardinals or Wildcats in the Final Four, sports fans in Jefferson County always have something to cheer about. (Louisville ranked among “America’s Best Vacations for Sports Fans” by Travel+Leisure.) • Whether it’s taking in a game at Slugger Field (or a picture of the world’s largest baseball bat), a concert at the KFC Yum! Center, a stroll around the Kentucky Fair, a trip to the Muhammad Ali Center or the Louisville Zoo, the area offers a variety of activities to enlighten, entertain and educate people of all ages.
• Louisvillians know how to celebrate! Home to Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby, Jefferson County kicks off a two-week Derby Festival with Thunder Over Louisville, the nation’s largest annual fireworks display.
• Jefferson County doesn’t let a little thing like the Ohio River stand in its way of getting to know its neighbors. A former railroad truss bridge was converted into a pedestrian and bicycle crossing linking downtown Louisville to Southern Indiana. The opening of the Big Four Bridge was celebrated in 2014 with a parade of residents coming from both states and meeting in the middle.
• Forbes Magazine recently listed Louisville as one of the top 20 markets with economic momentum. The area includes a wide variety of cultural offerings, innovative businesses, state-of-theart medical facilities and hospitals and a host of educational institutions. UPS is the area’s biggest employer.
• Jefferson County is located between St. Louis and Cincinnati on the banks of the Ohio River at the intersection of three major interstates: I-64, I-71 and I-65. Louisville is the 15th largest U.S. city and hosts an estimated population over 750,000 and a metropolitan area topping 1.2 million.

• An energetic buzz can be felt in Shelby County (alongside the slow-paced, easy-going way of life), especially at the new Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass, a premier, 374,300-square-foot outlet mall shopping center featuring 95-plus choice retailers in an upscale setting in Simpsonville. • The American Saddlebred Capital of the World hosts numerous horse shows throughout the year, including the Shelbyville Horse Show, which has drawn championship American Saddlebreds from across the country for more than 25 years. (For locals, it’s one of the most popular social events of the season.) • Shelby County’s population is approximately 42,000. Strategically located between Louisville and Lexington, it’s an easy drive for commuters. It’s also a great location for new businesses. Two new multi-million dollar distilleries are currently under construction in Shelby County, creating new jobs and a wonderful addition to the region’s bourbon culture. • A community theater, the Clear Creek Park Family Activity Center, a movie theater, skate park and a variety of other offerings add to the family-friendly atmosphere and charm of Shelby County. • Long-time dining establishments such as Claudia Sanders Dinner House and Science Hill Inn add historic flavor to fine dining. One-ofa-kind restaurants and downtown cafes and coffee shops (there’s even one in an antique store) add to the eclectic mix.
• Shelby County’s reputation as a destination for antique shopping and interior design is anchored by its wide variety of specialty stores, including the renowned Wakefield-Scearce Galleries, with more than 32,000 sq. ft. of showrooms. • Gallrein Farms is a popular spot to find fresh produce, pick pumpkins and take a hayride. New on the block (or the field, rather) is Mulberry Orchard where corn mazes in the fall and pulled pork sandwiches are drawing crowds of curious farm-goers. • In Shelby County, quality of life and peace of mind run as boldly as the horses do. It’s a place where the sun rises a little earlier for the folks making biscuits at Claudia Sanders Dinner House and sets a little later for couples enjoying live music on Saturday nights at one of the local wineries. • Behind-the-scenes tours at local horse farms (including a therapeutic riding center), can be arranged through the Shelby County Tourism Commission. Trail riders can explore Shelby Trails Equestrian Park on their own. • From Louisville, it’s just a short drive east along I-64, or for a more scenic route, take U.S. 60 (Shelbyville Road) and drive past horse farms and large countryside estates. • Guist Creek Marina and Camping located on a 314 acre bass fishing lake, the largest lake in Shelby County. 2018 Greater Louisville Relocation Guide
