Germantown sits just south of The Highlands and east of Old Louisville, organized around Goss Avenue and Schiller Avenue. The area built up in the late 1800s on a tight grid of narrow lots, leaving one of the densest concentrations of shotgun homes in the country. Goss Avenue runs as the local commercial spine, with restaurants, breweries, and a few corner shops between residential blocks.
Germantown reads as one of Louisville's most compact and pedestrian-friendly areas. The blocks are narrow, the lots are small, and most homes sit close to the sidewalk. Housing runs heavily to shotgun homes and camelbacks, the local two-story variant, with smaller pockets of brick two-stories and newer infill. Goss Avenue holds restaurants, a brewery or two, and small storefronts spread over about eight blocks. Schnitzelburg, the southern half of the area, has a similar grain and feel. The area connects on foot to The Highlands to the east and to Old Louisville to the west. Downtown Louisville reaches in about eight minutes by car.
Park near Goss Avenue and Hickory Street, walk the eight-block commercial strip, then turn into the residential grid along Schiller or Hickory to see the shotgun and camelback housing stock at close range.
