Influences on all sides

Once a streetcar suburb 3 miles from downtown Louisville, the Tyler Park neighborhood features homes built in the early 1900s, a historic park, unique shopping areas, a well-known university and two hospital systems, all within walking distance. “Tyler Park is so centrally located that you can get almost anywhere in the city in about 15 minutes,” says Realtor Alan Wade with Parkside Realty. Wade has lived in Tyler Park for nearly 10 years and sold real estate locally for nearly 15 years. “The neighborhood is heavily influenced by everything around it,” he says. “You’ll find college students living here and medical professionals who work at Audubon Hospital. It truly has an eclectic mix of people and homes.”

Creative shops and eateries

Residents have access to a plethora of restaurants on Bardstown Road. The small-town vibe at Highland Morning makes for a good start to the day, especially when a Good Morning Breakfast Burrito is on the plate. Ditto’s Grill features a range of flavors, from Asian lettuce wraps to Kentucky pork burgers. The Baxter Avenue Theatres at the nearby Mid City Mall offer first-run, foreign and independent films that show in the cinema’s eight theatres. Before showtime, moviegoers can sit at the bar and enjoy a beer, wine or bourbon. Barret Avenue, another prime business corridor within walking distance, attracts progressive eateries like Big Bad Breakfast, created by James Beard award-winning chef John Currence. Other stores like The Nitty Gritty, a costume rental and vintage clothing store before the ’80s, and Derby City Market, a hip, mid-century furniture, art, clothing and record shop, give the area an artistic and creative edge.

Diverse homes and streetscapes

Single-family homes in Tyler Park sell for between $300,000 and $780,000. They include cottages, bungalows, craftsman-style homes and colonials. “Homes like my Greek Revival on Eastern Parkway have been updated and added onto,” Wade says. “They attract professionals with large lots and park-like lawns.” Along the suburban sidewalks and shaded tree canopy of Lucia Avenue, some of the oldest homes stand, often divided into apartments for college students, Wade says. Edgeland Avenue, with its narrow streets and dense urban feel, caters to homeowners attracted to the activity and shopping on Bardstown Road.
