Laidback, suburban living on the outskirts of Louisville
Neat subdivisions, community events and outdoor recreational opportunities define the southeastern Louisville suburb of Highview, though the neighborhood remains close enough to the city to participate in Louisville’s iconic events. Residents live 16 miles from Downtown Louisville and enjoy community and suburban comforts. “It’s not highly commercialized or industrial — it’s largely residential,” says Monica Dunlap, a broker for Totally About Houses who has served the neighborhood for 11 years. “Highview is an amazing place to raise families and be close to everything in Jefferson County since there’s a focus on family and community, local schools and churches.”
Highview is a beautiful residential neighborhood with interstate and retail access.
Over on Bardstown Road you will find a popular farmer’s market.

School choice for Highview students
Children are zoned to the Jefferson County Public School system, which has a school choice system and requires parents of students who are new to the district or are starting kindergarten to apply to get their assigned school. Highview kids may attend Hartstern Elementary and advance to Marion C. Moore School for middle and high school. Both schools have C ratings from Niche. Marion C. Moore School offers a medical magnet program where students can practice hands-on healthcare skills in a simulated clinical setting.
Hartstern Elementary School provides education in the neighborhood of
Okolona.
Marion C Moore School is an amazing educational institution that serves a wide community.

Neighbors gather at Highview Park
Residents looking to get outside head to the centrally-located Highview Park, where locals can be spotted walking their dogs on the park’s trails or watching their kids run around the playground. Baseball fields and basketball and tennis courts host frequent matches, while the park’s picnic tables offer a space for neighbors to meet for lunch. Golfers head north to the Woodhaven Country Club to play on the 18-hole course, or travel over Highview’s southern border to get to McNeely Lake Park, which features Louisville’s only 27-hole championship golf course. The park’s L-shaped lake invites residents to kayak along the water or fish from the pier.
Highview Park has lots of spaces for recreation like basketball.
Highview is a residential area with lots of walking areas available.

For a sweet treat it’s a short drive to Barrel of Fun Ice Cream.
Grab a cone from a seasonal ice cream stand
Dining options aren’t plentiful in this residential area, but locals can find a few restaurants throughout the neighborhood. Residents can start their day with a latte from Highbrew Coffee Company, and swing by regional fast-casual restaurant Homerun Burger to grab a burger and fries for lunch. On humid summer days, residents cool off with milkshakes and cones from Barrel of Fun Ice Cream, or end the night with beer and cocktails from The Thirsty Hound. Locals stock their pantries with groceries from Valu Market or drive 3 miles west to shop at Aldi. There aren’t many opportunities to go retail shopping in Highview, but the Jefferson Mall’s wide collection of retailers is only 4 miles west of the neighborhood.
Merge onto Interstate 265 to explore Louisville
Bus stops operated by the Transit Authority of River City are located along Outer Loop, though most residents are not within walking distance of the stops. The suburban neighborhood is largely car-dependent, so residents will drive 16 miles northwest to arrive in Downtown Louisville. State highways wind through the neighborhood, and the ramp to merge onto Interstate 265 is just over the southern border. For longer trips, the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport is 12 miles northwest of Highview.

Summer concerts at Highview Park
Highview regularly gathers for community events — when the weather starts to heat up, locals grab their lawn chairs and head to Highview Park for free summer concerts at FridayFest. Fall brings the Highview Community Fall Festival, where residents admire antique cars at the auto show, watch a parade and mingle with neighbors while enjoying food and live music. As temperatures begin to drop, the community gets into the holiday spirit with carriage rides and visits with Santa Claus at the Highview Holiday Festival. “The Louisville area participates in the bigger events we’re known for, too. College sports are huge here since we don’t have professional sports leagues. And we look forward to the derby every year, too,” says Jacob Wardrip, a Realtor with Homepage Realty who has served the greater Louisville area for four years.
Employment opportunities in Louisville
Highview’s connection to Louisville allows for a number of employment opportunities. “A lot of young professionals and families end up moving to Louisville since we have large companies like Humana, Ford Motor Company and UPS that all have large operations here,” Wardrip says.
