A quaint, but vibrant downtown neighborhood
While it might exhibit a more quaint setting than its big city neighbor, downtown Jeffersonville offers its residents ample reasons to hardly ever need to cross the Ohio River. Downtown Jeffersonville boasts a string of locally owned boutiques and restaurants, many of which operate within brick buildings no more than a few stories tall. The shops include community staples like Schimpff’s Confectionery, a family-owned candy store that first opened in the 1890s. Adding to the area’s distinct appeal over the past several years is the NoCo — North of Court Avenue — Arts and Cultural District just north of Court Avenue. In addition to serving as a place for artists to showcase their work, the district intends to serve as a local meetup point with events featuring live music and food trucks. The district stands out with fixtures like a prominent water tank painted with swimming eye characters and the Depot, a space comprised of repurposed and artistically painted shipping containers. Completing the attractions here is the Big Four Pedestrian Bridge, a former railroad truss bridge that connects Jeffersonville and neighbor Louisville. “We have a pedestrian bridge, which brings in thousands of people over to southern Indiana, where we have nice restaurants and a downtown you can walk to,” says Jeffersonville City Council member Bill Burns, who’s also the broker owner of Re/Max First. “With the shops and restaurants we have, we get the best of both worlds. We can go to the big city in Louisville, but Jeffersonville is also a nice place to live, where you can enjoy a little slower pace of life.”
A dynamic riverfront and historic homes give Downtown Jeffersonville a lot of its charm.

Distinct boutiques and eateries along Spring
Spring Street in particular features several restaurants and shops operating behind vintage storefronts, as well outdoor seating spaces and planters along the edge of the roadway. Visitors to this part of the city can shop for items like locally crafted soaps at the L.O.S. Vibes Market and then walk over next door for some craft brews and choices like cornbread pudding and shrimp and grits at the Red Yeti, which easily stands out with its red yeti sculpture right by the entrance. More diverse fare can be enjoyed across the street at the Kabuki Hibachi & Ramen. Another community favorite farther up Spring is TOWN. A Neighborhood Pub, which serves Italian fare crossed with some Louisiana fare. For groceries, there’s a Kroger located a few miles drive north of downtown.

Enjoying Big 4 Station Park before crossing the bridge
Before residents get on the pedestrian bridge, they can admire some of the installations in the 10-acre Big 4 Station Park. They include some monolithic structures, a step waterfall and a large gabled-roof pavilion. The park is also a destination for those seeking local artisan foods and goods, as the Jeffersonville Farmers Market takes place there from 9 a.m. to noon every Saturday. The pedestrian bridge itself can be as much of an attraction at night as it is during day thanks to an LED system that illuminates the landmark in colorful schemes after sunset. The colors can even be personalized upon requests. In addition to providing a view of both the Jeffersonville and Louisville downtowns, the bridge will satisfy joggers and walkers looking to cover some distance as the structure itself — when not counting the ramps — is about a half-mile. Those looking to play some pickup basketball, take a dance workout class or get a workout on a machine can stop by the Nachland Fieldhouse several nights a week. Those looking to get on the water can access and launch their boats from the public Jeffersonville Fisherman’s Wharf right on the southern end of downtown.

Historic homes ranging from cozy bungalows to Queen Annes
One of downtown Jeffersonville’s notable pockets is the historic Rose Hill neighborhood, which was established near the turn of the 19th century. The architecture includes several classic Craftsman bungalows, as well other distinct styles like shotgun, Italianate and second empire, the latter of which houses the Market Street Inn Bed & Breakfast. Bungalows and shotguns are not uncommon in other parts of the community, but are joined by other styles that include Queen Annes and four squares. Much of these closely placed houses are either close to or over a century old. Price points can go from under $150,000 for a bungalow to nearly $500,000 for a Queen Anne, but there are some that go beyond that range. Some properties with Italian features can run roughly between $600,000 and $800,000.

STEM And STEAM initiatives at new Franklin Square Elementary

Free summer concert series in Warder Park
Downtown residents looking for some free live music will find it in Warder Park along Spring Street, where there’s a Friday night concert series during the summer. The bands play in the park’s gazebo. More small shows are also being planned for the Depot. Riverstage Park along the river is also an ideal spot to view the July 4 fireworks show.
I-65 crossing and commute into downtown Louisville
While many certainly enjoy the ease of the Big Four bridge, those looking to travel more quickly to Louisville have some options. That includes Interstate 65, which runs along downtown Jeffersonville’s western bounds and goes over the Ohio River to connect the city to its Kentucky neighbor. There are also several TARC bus stops along Court Avenue. The Louisville International Airport is an approximately 8-mile drive south of downtown Jeffersonville. While residents aren’t too far from the UofL Health institutions across the river, there is a medical facility in the Norton Clark Hospital just north of downtown Jeffersonville.
Downtown Jeffersonville is just across the river from Louisville.
