Quick access to Louisville’s most unique offerings in cozy suburban digs

Wyandotte bridges the worlds of city life in central Louisville and the slower pace of the suburbs. Sitting between Taylor Boulevard to the north and Beechmont and Hazelwood to the south, this residential community brings a broad appeal thanks to the convenience of its location. "Wyandotte is a working-class neighborhood with a sprinkling of University of Louisville students due to its proximity to the University," says Deborah Cox, Realtor with RE/MAX 100. Cox has sold homes in Louisville and Jefferson County for over 22 years. Also known as “Oakdale” by longtime residents, the area sits within a stone's throw of other Louisville landmarks like Churchill Downs and the Speed Art Museum.

Important information to know

Wyandotte residents are 2 miles away from the University of Louisville campus. The second-largest university in the state, U of L offers more than 75 master’s degree programs and 50 undergraduate concentrations. Potential residents are advised that Wyandotte’s CAP Index rating for homicide is notably higher than the national average. Community advocates and local government have both initiated efforts to curb the levels of violent crime in the Wyandotte area and across Louisville. Buyers should also ensure that a home in the area is adequately elevated to prevent damage from potential flooding, and residents closer to the south side may experience higher noise levels from the neighborhood's proximity to Interstate 264.
