Floyds Knobs

A hilltop community in the wooded ridges above New Albany.
Floyds Knobs sits in the wooded hills above New Albany in Floyd County, Indiana. The area gets its name from the Knobs, a chain of forested ridges that rise sharply from the Ohio River valley. The community runs along Old Vincennes Road and Paoli Pike, with subdivisions and country roads winding through the ridges and hollows. The Floyd Central High School area anchors the central part of the community.
 

What it is like to live here

Floyds Knobs runs across rolling, wooded terrain unlike anywhere else in the immediate Louisville area. The roads curve through the ridges and dip into hollows, with houses set on lots that range from a quarter acre in newer subdivisions to multiple acres on the country roads. Housing varies from brick two-story Colonials and ranches in the planned subdivisions to substantial newer homes on wooded acreage. The area sits high enough that several spots have long views across the Ohio River valley toward Louisville. The Floyds Knobs Lookout, just off Skyline Drive, gives the best public view. Downtown Louisville reaches in about twenty minutes by car via Interstate 64 and the Sherman Minton Bridge.
 

What you can do here

  • Visit the Floyds Knobs Lookout on Skyline Drive for views across the Ohio River valley.
  • Walk and bike the wooded country roads through the ridges and hollows.
  • Choose among brick Colonial-style homes, ranches, and substantial newer homes on wooded acreage.
  • Drive to downtown Louisville in about twenty minutes via Interstate 64.
  • Reach New Albany's restored downtown in about ten minutes by car.
  • Hike the trails at the nearby Knobstone Trail and Clark State Forest.
