Louisville, Kentucky

Home of the Kentucky Derby, the Louisville Slugger baseball bat and known as the Gateway to the South, this city in northern Kentucky combines the best of both Southern and Northern cultures. Known as a friendly city, it is also very livable and as long as you learn how to pronounce the name correctly (there's never an Ss'), you'll find it a most welcoming city and your Louisville apartment will rapidly become a real home.

A Youthful Future

Louisville was an important part of the Civil War. Although a Union stronghold, it had been one of the major slave trading cities in the country. But it's location on the Ohio river made it a famous point for the Underground Railroad and slaves seeking freedom in the nearby Union states. It has subsequently been a manufacturing area and a city that has kept revitalizing itself.

These days, it is not only a popular tourist destination but a great place to live. Many river front areas have been converted, gentrified, and rebuilt making it a living destination for many younger people.

Derby Days

Much of a two week period each year centers around the running of the Kentucky Derby. There are festivals, concerts and parades which are beloved by the locals. During summers, there are a series of cultural and other events which keep people busy too. The largest annual Beatles Festival is held on Memorial Day weekend and the Bluegrass Balloon Festival in September means there no reason to go on vacation once in your Louisville apartment.

Museum Row in the downtown area has any number of museums, theatres and places to find night life. With historic properties and parks to stroll around, biking, hiking and running areas are also easy to find. College basketball is the number one spectator sport, and Kentucky Wildcats will become a part of our vocabulary too. They are that popular!

Hot Browns

Cuisine in Louisville ranges from Southern cooking to international. There are a couple of local specialities - Derby Pie (pecan pie with chocolate) and the Hot Brown (open faced turkey with bacon and mornay sauce) to try. Try real southern food at J. Gumbo's or the best burger in town at The Granville. Splash out at upscale places like Avalon or Le Relais. You'll always find great hospitality.

Mint Juleps in the Afternoon

The mint julep is the drink most famous in Louisville, and the perfect place to try one is at the Maker's Mark Bourbon House and Lounge. At night, there are all sorts of dive bars where you can sip bourbon and eat soul food and hear a little music. Dietrich's on Frankfort Avenue is an old theatre converted to a bar. Sit outside or see the cabaret like atmosphere inside.

Meet some locals at the Back Door Bar and hear some music too.Once in your Louisville apartment, it will be fun and easy to find the places where you feel the most comfortable. People are friendly so it won't take long.
