Situated a few miles south of Downtown Louisville, South Louisville is a sprawling community attracting renters who want a laidback, suburban lifestyle with easy access to the big city. South Louisville is a verdant area characterized by peaceful streets and spacious homes. Renters have an array of affordable apartments, single-family homes, and condos to choose from. Thanks to the highways and interstates that intersect the areas surrounding town, commuting for work or leisure is a breeze, but residents don't have to go far for exciting opportunities. South Louisville is home to the Jefferson Memorial Forest and partially borders the Ohio River, making everything from water sports to hiking popular pastimes. For those who prefer the indoors, retail centers along Outer Loop Road and Southside Drive provide plenty of shopping and dining choices.
