Small city more similar to a small neighborhood
Less than ten miles from downtown Louisville, the city of Beechwood Village feels more like a neighborhood than a city. With only three entrances to the south of the neighborhood, traffic is limited. A purely residential neighborhood, homes tend to be closer together, have smaller yards with no fences and are shaded by mature trees. Brick facades are a common sight, and fireplaces stick up from most homes. Shelbyville Road to the south has four-lanes and is one way to get to the greater Louisville area for events, such as, the Kentucky Derby, or to communities that are nearby, such as, St. Matthews Community Park or Warwick Park for a friendly game of baseball at either one.
Beechwood Village is located 10 minutes east of Downtown Louisville.
This is the neighborhood of Beechwood Village in Louisville, Ky.
