Now is a great time to move to Jefferson County (or as the locals call it, Metro Louisville). Metro Louisville has $5 billion in construction planned or underway, which will not only provide residents with more cultural, recreation and business opportunities, but will more than likely increase property values and will make moving here a wise investment. It's an exciting time to be in Metro Louisville! Impressive new museums and entertainment complexes are opening, and expansions of the suburban areas are creating new dining, entertainment, employment and residential options. In addition, the nationally-recognized City of Parks initiative will preserve the area's green spaces as the city continues to grow.
In as little as two years, Louisville's skyline will beckon even more sports enthusiasts, art lovers and people in search of big city luxuries in a safe, hometown environment. The downtown area is quickly changing as projects are already underway to build a new 22,000 seat sports arena, 62 story Museum Plaza and incredible options for shopping, dining and entertaining.
But, you won't have to wait until the construction hats are put away to enjoy Metro Louisville's social scene. With popular hangouts along Bardstown Road in the Highlands and the Fourth Street Live! Entertainment complex downtown, outdoor concerts at Waterfront Park, numerous coffee houses spread throughout the city and gallery hops in the Downtown and Crescent Hill areas, there are plenty of places to enjoy a night on the town.
Jefferson County offers a diverse selection of neighborhoods that highlight both the heritage of the area and the future of its impressive growth. If you're looking for a setting, suburban convenience or an urban lifestyle, you can find it here in Jefferson County.
