Louisville Apartments: A small Southern City with a Big City Feel

Louisville has the charm of the South but a lot more progressive people and politics than other places in the South. It is a great food city, including for vegetarians and vegans. It's a city that supports local restaurants which after living in Indianapolis I can tell you is a really amazing thing. It also supports local music, and live music. There are tons of places to see bands. It has 3, yes 3, amazing NPR stations. One for AA music, one for classical music, one one for talk. What else? Louisville is a city that knows how to have a good time. Every April & May things really slow down in terms of business and ramp up in terms of partying in preparation for the Derby. There is a small but growing arts scene that offers a little something for everyone.

More specifically about living in the city, the greatest neighborhood is the Highlands. 1-2 bedrooms apartments are readily available in the Highlands and reasonably priced. In that neighborhood you can walk to shops, cafes, and restaurants and be a short bike or scooter ride away from almost anything you need. St. Matthews and Old Louisville are also great neighborhoods but there isn't as much retail and commercial stuff in walking or biking distance in those neighborhoods.

Louisville also has a really great parks system. It was the last one designed by Frederick Law Olmstead. Cherokee Park (in the Highlands) is massive and has a little something for everyone. Walking trails, bike paths, creeks, woods, swings and fountains, you name it.

Louisville has the amenities of a larger city (symphony, opera, theater, a fair share of overpriced hipster boutiques and hair salons, independent coffee houses, independent gallery shops, independent music stores [a big plus in my book], citywide recycling, progressives, etc) and the comforts of a smaller down (by car you can be from basically any point in the city to any other point in 15 minutes or less, people are very friendly, traffic isn't horrible, pollution isn't horrible, the city is clean and safe).
