The Highlands area is a well-loved district featuring historic homes (most built between 1870 and 1940) and large trees. Cherokee and Tyler parks set the area?s tone. Bardstown Road, with its great restaurants, record stores, boutiques, and antiques, is Louisville?s most distinctive commercial district. Offering a mix of apartment buildings and large, older homes, Highlands is a great place to call home. Chosen to be the number one place to live in the Louisville area by Business First.
The Highlands, southeast of downtown, one of the early streetcar suburbs, now is home to perhaps the city?s most eclectic population - a wide range of families with children, seniors and young singles -all attracted to the busy shops, galleries and eateries along Bardstown Road and the quiet beauty of adjacent Cherokee Park. Morbid as it may sound, one of the highlights of Louisville sightseeing is a journey through nearby Cave Hill Cemetery, filled with marvelously landscaped sections and spectacular monuments.
