Louisville Neighborhood Map
Downtown Louisville
When I think of Louisville, the first couple things that come to mind are bourbon, sluggers (the baseball bat), KFC, Muhammad Ali, and the Kentucky Derby. In Downtown Louisville, you can do most of this.
Downtown is along the Ohio River in the north waterfront area. Beargrass Creek approximately defines its southeastern boundary. I-64 and I-71 cut through downtown and is nearby is the Muhammad Ali Center.
Original Highlands
The Highlands neighborhood in Louisville is located just southeast of downtown. It stretches along Bardstown Road and Baxter Avenue. Plus, it extends from the intersection with Broadway to Winter Avenue. This is a lively area of Louisville and it’s perfect for a night on the town.
Clifton Map
Clifton is situated to the northeast of downtown, running along Frankfort Avenue. It extends from Ewing Avenue to the intersection with Brownsboro Road. For your information, this area is home to Cherokee Park. This green space is part of the Louisville Olmsted Parks Conservancy.
Old Louisville
Old Louisville is located just south of Downtown Louisville. It’s one of the largest historic preservation districts in the country. The neighborhood is also home to the scenic Central Park. Here, you can enjoy the annual St. James Court Art Show.
Crescent Hill
Crescent Hill is east of downtown. This neighborhood stretches along Frankfort Avenue. It’s pretty much between Ewing Avenue and Lexington Road. Two of my favorite things to do here are Reservoir Park and the Crescent Hill Art and Music Festival.
Butchertown
You a fan of baseball? Well, Butchertown is home to the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory. You can find this neighborhood just east of downtown. It’s bordered by the Butchertown Greenway and the Ohio River.
Germantown Map
Germantown is a historic neighborhood. It’s known for its Germantown-Schnitzelburg Blues Festival. Germantown is located just east of downtown Louisville. Nearby neighborhoods are Schnitzelburg and Shelby Park.
Phoenix Hill
Phoenix Hill is a historic neighborhood right next door to downtown. It’s located just east of downtown Louisville along I-65. The neighborhood also hosts the annual Phoenix Hill NuLu Bock Fest.
I was a member of the Board of Directors for the first George Rogers Clark Park Neighborhood Association which drafted Articles of Incorporation for the George Rogers Clark Park Neighborhood. Our neighborhood is not included on this site. Can it be added? It borders the Germantown and Schnitzelburg Neighborhoods but is often erroneously referred to as being part of the Audubon Neighborhood.
