Crescent Hill

A pedestrian-friendly Frankfort Avenue corridor with brick homes and a public library at its center.
Crescent Hill sits about four miles east of downtown Louisville, organized around Frankfort Avenue and the Crescent Hill Reservoir. The blocks read as small, and shaded, with two-story brick homes, frame Victorians, and Craftsman bungalows close to the sidewalk. The Crescent Hill Library, the Reservoir Park, and a tight strip of independent restaurants along Frankfort Avenue give the area a defined center.
 

What it is like to live here

Crescent Hill keeps a small scale. Frankfort Avenue runs as the commercial spine for about a mile, lined with independent restaurants, antique shops, bakeries, and a record store, with most blocks one or two stories. The side streets, including Birchwood Avenue, Hillcrest, and Peterson, run narrow and tree-shaded. Housing leans older, with brick two-stories, frame Victorians, and Craftsman bungalows, plus a few mid-century infill homes. The Crescent Hill Reservoir sits at the north edge, with a stone wall and a walking path around it. Downtown Louisville reaches in about ten minutes by car, and St. Matthews sits a few minutes east along Frankfort Avenue.
 

What you can do here

  • Walk the path around the Crescent Hill Reservoir.
  • Cover most weekend errands along Frankfort Avenue on foot.
  • Reach downtown Louisville in about ten minutes by car.
  • Bike to the Beargrass Creek Trail and into Cherokee Park.
  • Choose among brick two-stories, frame Victorians, and bungalows.
  • Use the Crescent Hill branch of the Louisville Free Public Library on Frankfort Avenue.
