Jefferson County With an enthusiastic embrace of new cultures and ideas, Jefferson County blends sophistication and metropolitan style with hometown pride and southern hospitality. Residents graciously welcome newcomers with invitations to be part of the community. Louisville is the 16th largest U.S. city and Kentucky’s largest, with a population over 700,000 and a metropolitan area topping 1.2 million.

Looeyville... Looavul ... Lewisville ...

No matter how you say it, Louisville offers a safe, welcoming environment that will make you feel right at home.

Building a Bright Future Jefferson County offers a diverse living and working environment that is committed to building a bright future. The area includes a wide variety of cultural offerings, innovative businesses, state-of-the-art medical facilities and a host of educational institutions. Louisville’s importance to the shipping industry is evident by the presence of the world air hub for UPS, which continues to be the area’s biggest employer. 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. Residents in Jefferson County have more cultural, dining and recreational opportunities than ever before! The opening of the KFC Yum! Center in 2010 brought with it thousands of visitors who venture downtown to attend special events and cheer on the University of Louisville Cardinals. The Big Four Bridge renovation linking pedestrians from downtown to Southern Indiana is just one example of the community’s commitment to preserving its heritage while building for the future.

Kids Agree -- Jefferson County is Way Cool!

Ask most Jefferson County families what makes the city special and many of them would say it’s the variety of kidfriendly activities. Whether it’s taking in a game at Slugger Field, a trip to the Science Museum or the Louisville Zoo, the area offers a variety of activities to enlighten, entertain and educate people of all ages. And, it’s safe too. Louisville was recently referenced among the “Top 10 Safest Cities for Families with Young Children” by Underwriters Laboratories, which assisted in a study to determine the metropolitan areas that stand out in helping prevent needless accidents and improving the safety of their residents, especially families with young children. Louisville is one of the “Top 20 Best Places to Raise A Family” by homebuilder.com.

Downtown La Grange in Oldham County photo © HBAL

Oldham County Just miles from the big city, Oldham County’s soothing ambiance stems from sweeping views of the Ohio River and miles of blackboard fence rows that meander along Highway 42. Its national award-winning school system and close proximity to Louisville make Oldham County a popular place for many newcomers. A wide range of residential areas offers ideal, peaceful retreats for homeowners looking for convenience and charm.

Slow Pace = Fast Growth

The hometown atmosphere is coupled with a zest for growth. Oldham County is one of the top three fastest growing counties in Kentucky and has the highest per family capita income. Oldham County has risen to the challenge of preserving its welcoming, country atmosphere while aggressively pursuing new economic endeavors, including development of a 700-acre business park and active promotion of its 1,000 acre Oldham Reserve business park located off of I-71 at exit 22.

Despite the laid back atmosphere, there’s plenty to do. You can play paintball, scuba dive, ride a horse, play golf, catch a play and shop for antiques all in one weekend if you choose. And, pretty soon, you can visit the new train museum. In addition, there are numerous community cultural festivals and celebrations that reflect the hospitable nature of the area. If a slower pace is your style, you’ll be enticed to stop and smell the roses at Yew Dell Gardens in Crestwood, where guided tours of unique gardens offer a refreshing break from everyday life.

Culinary offerings range from fish sandwiches at local marinas to gourmet selections at fine dining restaurants and cafes. If it’s drama you’re craving, you can take in a performance at the Little Colonel Playhouse in Pewee Valley. You’ll also find plenty of shopping options in Oldham County, including the historic district in La Grange and quaint boutiques scattered throughout the area.

Taylorsville Lake photo © HBAL

Spencer County Spencer County is where the path less traveled gives you reasons to stop and enjoy the views of Taylorsville Lake. It’s a place where strangers are considered long-time friends and store owners know their customers by name. In Spencer County, live music lingers on summer evenings and people take time to get to know their neighbors over a cup of coffee.

Easy Pace of Life So Close to the City

Spencer County extends an invitation to get back to the basics of life, where parents can teach their children how to fish or water enthusiasts can show off their wake boarding or water skiing skills. You can even learn to quilt or sculpt at the new Sanctuary Arts Center.

With so many outdoor activities surrounding 3,050-acre Taylorsville Lake, tourism is big business in Spencer County. Edgewater Resort offers visitors to Spencer County incredible views and accommodations on a 163-acre tract overlooking Taylorsville Lake. In addition to tourism, the county is poised for industrial interest as well with the 51-acre Taylorsville Business Park.

In addition to the lake, several venues invite the public to explore Spencer County’s agricultural roots, including working farm tours and farmer’s markets. Main Street in Taylorsville offers a series of live musical performances on various summer evenings and the annual Arts Fair, Kentucky Gourd Show, Light Up Salt River and the Spencer County Octoberfest also draw crowds from around the region. The 200-acre Tanglewood Golf Course is a natural draw for golfers in the area.

Hometown cooking is the secret ingredient for many one-of-a-kind restaurants in Spencer County, including Lynda’s Grill and Elk Creek Restaurant. The historic Ashes Creek Schoolhouse and Yates Log Cabin symbolize the rich heritage of the area, reminding everyone where this growing community originally began. The friendliness, southern hospitality and low crime rate make Spencer County a natural draw for many. And, with the natural beauty of Taylorsville Lake State Resort Park, Spencer County offers both a tranquil retreat and a convenient location.
