Residential streets outside Louisville
On the eastern outskirts of Louisville, Bon Air provides Kentuckians with residential surroundings shaded by plenty of trees overlooking sidewalks lining the front yards of its homes. With a few local staple restaurants and some historical ties as well, the neighborhood is a quiet area within very close proximity to the downtown area. “It’s a nice, small town as part of the city of Louisville,” says Bob Sokoler, owner of the Sokoler Team at RE/MAX Properties East. “It’s only about 15 to 20 minutes to anywhere in the city and it’s just off the expressway, which makes it very accessible.”
Street lights add a glow throughout Bon Air, peeking through mature trees.
Most homes in the Bon Air neighborhood feature moderate yard space.

Brick constructions with sizable yards
Bon Air is characterized by a prominence of mid-century brick ranch homes throughout its winding streets, many with mature trees in the yards and shrubs or other plants lining the properties. While many don’t have garages necessarily attached, it’s easy to find detached garages in the backyards. Sidewalks also line the streets, making for beautiful scenery while going for a run or walking a dog, and in the evening the street lights softly glow amid tree branches. Although some of the homes might look similar, colorful doors and shutters as well as wrought-iron storm doors add a visual flair to the neighborhood. Most homes in Bon Air sell for between $250,000 and $300,000, rarely priced at less than $150,000 while several have sold for over $350,000.
Bon Air’s comfort comes from residents staying in the area’s homes during and after major wars.

Magnet programs and athletic opportunities
Two public schools reside within the boundaries of the Bon Air neighborhood, and students can begin their educational journey at Goldsmith Elementary School.

After fifth grade, enrollment graduates to Highland Middle School for grades six through eight, which is also given a C by Niche. Seneca High School is awarded a C-plus by Niche and serves ninth through 12th grades, also featuring a magnet program on urban agriculture along with multiple sports fields for its athletes.

Parks in and around Bon Air
Farnsley Park is the only established such area located within Bon Air’s borders, offering a playground and picnic tables to its visitors while remaining open from early morning to late at night. Practice some tennis on the park’s courts, or simply enjoy its surroundings populated by large trees reaching towards the clouds. Just to the southeast of Bon Air, PeeWee Park’s playground and pickleball courts offer plenty of opportunities for exercise alongside picnic tables and shelters. North of PeeWee Park is Klondike Park, which has plenty of open space in its seven-acre area and picnic areas of its own. Though Klondike doesn’t have sectioned-off baseball or soccer fields, there’s a backstop for the former and two goals for the latter set up near its playgrounds and tennis courts.
Farnsley Park provides a number of family-friendly recreation activities in Bon AIr.

Bon Air locals quench their thirst nearby at Krazy Dave’s.
Shopping chains provide convenience
Neighborhood bar Krazy Dave’s is located near the center of the area, serving as a community gathering spot and also featuring billiards and karaoke for its patrons while sitting close to the Bon Air Barber Shop. El Caporal Mexican Restaurant, located near the southwestern edge of Bon Air, offers authentic food from south of the border just minutes away from the Bashford Manor Inn. Just across the southwestern boundary is a major shopping center featuring Kroger, Walmart, Target and Walgreens locations for almost anything shoppers could be in need of. “Heitzman’s Bakery is a local landmark,” Sokoler, who has nearly 20 years of experience, says. “A lot of people like that, and there’s several bed-and-breakfasts in Bon Air as well. There’s also a lot of chain restaurants, so it gives homeowners a choice within a couple blocks of walking or riding a bike to them.”
Staying within historic walls
One of Bon Air’s primary attractions and ties to history is the Bashford Manor Inn, encircled by trees in the curve of Medford Lane in the neighborhood’s southwestern region. Originally known as Bray Place, it was built by Revolutionary War major Samuel Bray and his wife in 1796; the couple were given the land by Thomas Jefferson as recognition of Bray’s service in the war and other accomplishments. Now part of the National Register of Historic Places, it operates as a bed-and-breakfast for visitors, and owns a claim to fame as a former horse farm that bred several winners of the Kentucky Derby.
Easy access to downtown Louisville
About half of Bon Air’s border, to the northwest and southwest, is made up of major highways that link it to other areas of Kentucky. To the northwest runs part of Interstate 264 with an interchange on the northwestern corner, and 264 loops around most of Louisville. That same interchange also connects with Route 150, which comprises the southwestern-facing border of Bon Air and runs for more than 100 miles within Kentucky. Kentucky stops along Route 150, which starts in Illinois and runs through Indiana, include Mount Washington, Springfield, Stanford and Mount Vernon. As for Louisville itself, Bon Air is only about 10 miles from the city’s downtown, which means residents are usually less than 20 minutes from the city lights while retaining a quaint, suburban atmosphere.
