An eastern Louisville suburb with a small-town energy

With an active local government, a centrally located public park and an enclave of quiet residential roads, Hurstbourne Acres maintains the energy of a small town, though the neighborhood is 12 miles east of Downtown Louisville. Residents remain connected to their immediate community with monthly newsletters from city officials and neighborhood gatherings at Stanley B. Welch Park. However, just outside the residential orbit are a range of commercial spaces and shopping centers offering convenient amenities.

The lot sizes of the homes in Hurstbourne Acres are approximately .25 acres.

Brick ranches and split levels on residential roads

Many of Hurstbourne Acres’ residents rent apartments in one of the five complexes in the neighborhood, and homes that go on the market sell quickly. Homes line residential streets, which are arranged in a grid pattern near the middle of the neighborhood. Primarily built in the 1950s and 60s, brick-faced properties appear in ranch and split-level styles and feature simple grass lawns framed by tall trees and shrubbery. Home prices usually sit between $190,000 and $360,000.

Split a pizza and watch a game at BoomBozz Pizza and Watch Bar

With several shopping centers in the eastern section of the neighborhood, residents can shop before going out to eat at popular restaurants.

Residents head to Kyushu Japanese Steakhouse for date night around a hibachi grill and authentic sushi dishes. Patel Brothers International Grocery stocks produce and household essentials in Hurstbourne Acres, but there’s a Kroger over the neighborhood’s southern edge.

Relax at Stanley B. Welch Park or golf at the Oxmoor

Many residents in surrounding subdivisions can easily walk to Stanley B. Welch Park, a community park with a playground centrally located in Hurstbourne Acres. Though there aren’t walking trails, locals often enjoy a quiet picnic or toss frisbees around the open green space. “People will often drive for recreation since Louisville has a great parks system. A lot of parks are connected to Floyds Fork — in some parts, it’s just a small stream, and in other parts is more like a river, but the creek is great for fishing and kayaking,” says Jacob Wardrip, a Realtor with Homepage Realty who has served the greater Louisville area for four years. Residents can walk or bike along Floyds Fork or launch a kayak into the water at Pope Lick Park, 9 miles southeast of the neighborhood. Golfers appreciate the nearby Oxmoor Country Club, which has an 18-hole course.

Celebrate summer at the community’s annual picnic

Residents learn about Hurstbourne Acres’ community events through the city’s monthly newsletter. Kids hunt for the golden egg during the neighborhood’s Easter egg hunt at Stanley B. Welch Park, where locals also gather for the annual summer picnic. In December, neighbors celebrate the holiday season together with seasonal treats and pictures with Santa at the Hurstbourne Acres holiday party. “All of Louisville gets excited for our well-known events, too. College football and the Kentucky Derby are huge here, and people can get really into the local high school football games, too,” Wardrip says.

Interstate 64 goes toward Downtown Louisville

If they want to head into Louisville’s bustling downtown area, residents can ride a bus operated by the Transit Authority of River City, though there aren’t many stops in the neighborhood. There are a couple of stops on Taylorsville Road, which creates the neighborhood’s southern border, and one on South Hurstbourne Parkway, which runs along the eastern border. Many opt to drive personal vehicles instead since they can merge onto Interstate 64 in the northeastern corner of Hurstbourne Acres.
