Born and raised in Louisville.. Not having a real estate license I can say anything about the city as I no longer live there. I strongly urge anyone to avoid the west end. If you rent a car the map they give you stops showing anything west of 22d street.
We looked in three counties because the inventory was so low. We ended up in Middletown with a For Sale by Owner house and the realtor closed both sides. Love my secret neighborhood off Shelbyville Rd.. Living near Paul’s is priceless. 😆
I live in Louisville. The west end is not a good area to live at. Within the last couple years 2 of my younger cousins got murdered in the west end. One of my uncles got robbed and murdered just walking to the store. Another one of my family members got car jacked at the Kroger's on broadway around 7am in the morning and the robber shot him in the head. One of my cousins use to be the manager at the pizza hut that use to be on broadway years ago. He got robbed at gun point trying to close the restaurant. Stay away from the west end. Only go there if you have too. It doesn't matter if you just mind you business. Things can still happen to you. The west end is also a terrible place to raise kids. A lot of the young kids down there carry guns. They don't fight anymore. Your kids would be in danger. The best areas to live is 25 to 35 mins away from downtown. Jtown, Middletown, Shelbyville, Mt Washington.
I live in Old Louisville and its a beautiful area with old homes And a charming central park. We do have a transient issues but what city doesn't it's still nice and its affordable if you're renting.
Went to Armor school for the US Army many years ago. Really loved driving up to Lousiville on my days off. Good restuarants and the city was not too big and the people were great. I recall a Dixie Highway and was it also known as Hwy 31? Now that i am old I am thinking of a chepaer area to live but Nashville is getting way too expensive.
Before the urban renewal projects of the 1970s, Louisville's North End was north of Main Street, west of Downtown. The areas which are today Portland and Shawnee.
@@stanwbaker I don’t live in a trailer, that’s just your judgment. Go to the west end, park your car and walk around. Let me know how you do. Get out of Starbucks
Thx . ive been in ca for 40yrs ,this is the best video on the logistics of louisville. one problem...you didn't mention New Burg😊. in 23 i visited louisville. i never understood the highway system until your video.
Most of the areas he mentions inside Louisville such as St Matthews or Shivley(Vastly different environments from one another), have their own 3rd party governing established. There are many of these inside Louisville but Jtown, Shivley, St Matthews, and Audubon are either the largest or have a large tax base. Newburg is part of the Louisville Metro Suburban services district that has a different tax struature than the old orginal Louisville Urban Service district that comes with higher taxation with added city services such as trash and solid waste services support that the Suburban areas pay for independently from what their taxes cover.
Thank you for that great video. I lived in Louisville for about a year because I’m a pilot for UPS but I really never got a chance to see most of these areas since I was usually flying out of the country. I am considering buying a quadplex investment property in Louisville to live in one of the units. I’m still trying to choose a safe and desirable area with a good rental market but your video was a good start.
That man's right y'all come to Russell Springs Kentucky I'm telling you it's good place plenty of room Great Big Lake area get your job on the dock a state park Wolf Creek Dam not to mention the women are beautiful❤ that's Russell Springs Kentucky home of the program amen❤😊
Do you give info about apartment rentals? Who can I contact to point me in the right direction? I am moving to Louisville for a Job in November 2024. I'd like to live neighborhood with shops and restaurants within walking distance. A gay friendly local bar would be nice. I don't need amenities like a pool or workout room. I just want off street parking. Based on these things, Is it realistic to want to pay less than $900/mo.?
Interesting fact. 265 when being built in the 70s and 80s was planned and zoned out to be Six lanes but they made it 4 lanes. By the time they were done it was already outdated.
You obviously don't know as much about the metro area as you think, shively, prp, valley station, not new areas, these areas are not rural, heavily populated from 60s/70s
@@LVKY This video is so full of literal errors it should be embarrassing for you to put this out as a marketing tool. Perhaps get an editor with GOOD knowledge of the city as well as editing. This lends to a business model of deception. Not a good look business wise.
WHEW! I finally escaped Louisville and moved to an adjacent county to avoid crime, heavy traffic & and back stabbing politics. Louisville has been ruled by left of left spend-spend liberal democrats for many decades, thus giving incompetence new meaning. The mayor is a joke helping to run it further into the ground surrounded by numerous controversies. It's a terrible place to raise children with a public school system that is embarrassingly out of control, students are graduated that can barely read & even infiltrated by young gang members. The police dept is in disarray, with shortages being a huge problem. Good competent dedicated officers can't do it all, but give it their best. Downtown is awful with parking being a nightmare. A friend reminded me constantly to think of the word GOLF, meaning Get Out of Louisville Fast. When I got the chance, thankfully I did.
It would depend if youd like to live closer to the job or to Louisville for more things to do. give me a call or shoot me a text, and I'd be happy to help you figure out what area would best suit your needs. 502.677.3774.
I was born in Louisville. I grew up there. I hate what it has become. From the gutless mayor, to corrupt and broken police and city government, to apathetic judges and everything else, my best advice is to NOT live in Jefferson County. Seriously.
2:!5 - 2:30: If you are a Real estate broker/Realtor I would HIGHLY suggest you remove all references to "stigma" and "dangerous" neighborhoods in your videos. This could very easily be found to be a "Fair Housing" violation that could cost you your license.
There are places fairly close I would definitely recommend. There is Parkway Village, Audubon Park, or even Old Louisville all just a few minutes away from not only the track but Cardinal Stadium and Freedom Hall oh and Kentucky Kingdom.
You all act like the West End has always been populated with minority or low class people. Northwestern and Southwestern Pkwys are the most beautiful parts of the city. Olmstead park, riverfront property, golf course, and a plethora of prestigious mansions. And of course, if you know anything about history. Whites lived here 1st. Matthew 7:7. Please read with caution.
There is NO side of town like that actually. The black folks of Jefferson Co live COUNTY WIDE. I know its hard for a small brain like yours to even imagine that could possibly be.
EXACTLY 💯💯💯 AND you should especially avoid the septic tank known as Loserville... largest group of narcissistic sociopaths that I've ever seen.. PURE EVIL

4:28 you can take Dixie Hwy to the top of Michigan, not Maine. Just FYI.
I realized that after I had uploaded it, but yeah you are right. I just got my M states mixed up lol

I live in Bardstown and commute to Louisville for work. Best of both worlds.
@@CallmeDaBreeze1971 how long does it take you to drive one way?
@@carrielassiter8455i do the same. It depends on where your going and what time you leave. But generally 30 to 40 mins
@@carrielassiter8455 About 40 minutes

I was born in '76 so it's before my time.
@@LVKY It wasn't before your time as most began in the later 80s near the downtown core.
West end is terrible even if you call it “north” end. People get killed over items like disrespect all the time.
@@UncleStepon You should wander out of your trailer park sometimes.

Point at the entirety of Jefferson county. If you must life around this dangerous city, move to southern Indiana.

Little Chicago
Say you’re a white boy without saying it .
What,😂
I’ve lived in the Westend of Louisville all my life and have never had a problem.
Interesting fact. 265 when being built in the 70s and 80s was planned and zoned out to be Six lanes but they made it 4 lanes. By the time they were done it was already outdated.
I stayed in a hotel off Crittenden in the University/Fairgrounds district. It didn’t feel very safe.
Born & raised in Lou. Avoid all Jefferson County. Live in a neighboring county...especially if you have kids.
BS!
Yeah this is completely silly.
Oh god, another person scared to death of their own shadow.
What a asshole . What’s your addy?
Okay thank you Karen
You obviously don't know as much about the metro area as you think, shively, prp, valley station, not new areas, these areas are not rural, heavily populated from 60s/70s
Hello I’m thinking about moving to Louisville next year looking for townhome to buy
You say to “avoid” the area I live in in the thumbnail, then never mention it in the vid. If you’re gonna run us down, tell us why…..
Just a Clickbait
Yup, the thumbnail doesn't always tell the story.

That's right always cover your ass. Let people figure out dodging bullets themselves right?!
It could also be seen as a fair warning", and "truthful".
Where should I live if I want to be close to Churchill Downs ?
You really don't want to be close to Churchill Downs.
Taylor Blvd area and fourth St area. I was born and raised in Louisville and still living here.
You don’t want to live in that area it’s a shthole
There are places fairly close I would definitely recommend. There is Parkway Village, Audubon Park, or even Old Louisville all just a few minutes away from not only the track but Cardinal Stadium and Freedom Hall oh and Kentucky Kingdom.
Lol it's a very nice area to get soy lattes and walk your dog. Idk what people are talking about. A for Diversity for the bigots out there.

It’s trash lol

Do not go to the Westend
Seems like you might be too dated. 265 is not as bad as you say anymore.
The West End = DA HOOD! AVOID at all costs!!
If you live inside jefferson county they call it loo-a-vool. Everyone else calls it the shithole of kentucky.
Just don’t, Louisville is a trash city. I’ve tried to avoid it as much as possible in 40 years
Avoid Jefferson County.
Just move to the opposite side of the blacks 😂
This is ugly and not at all the spirit of this channel.
90 percent of murders are in West End. That's ugly.
Murder stats back this up.
The racists have been making the internet a miserable place even more so than usual. Sheesh.
