I moved back to Lou-E-Ville in December 2021. I’ve been away for over 32 yrs because of the military only coming back to visit family. Our newly built home was just completed in November 2022. I am excited about being near family and being an adult with the ability to enjoy being back home. You spoke of the German town area. Someone face me toward the delish-us authentic German food. Wishing all Love, Peace and Happiness.
Welcome back to "LooAvul"! There used to be a great German restaurant in Germantown, but sadly it closed during the pandemic. I haven't found another one I love.
I was stationed at Ft. Knox for awhile in the early 2000s and loved going up to Louisville.."Thunder over Louisville" was great and spent many weekend nights in the Highland area. Definitely an underrated city.
@@SmokeyThaLion it’s too spread out for me to think of it as a city. There are still operating farms inside the metro. I remember the county/city merger and I hope all the townships keep their identity as time goes on.
Great video! The Highlands will always be my favorite neighborhood in the world. My mom and her siblings grew up there and I grew up visiting my grandmother there for holidays and 2 weeks every summer. The first two years we were married, my husband and I chose to live in The Highlands. I live in TX now, but a little piece of my heart will always remain at my grandmother's house on Roanoke Ave.
@@danvillebelle6977 me and you both. The Highlands has been such a great area of Louisville for so long, there are always people willing to move in. I think it also depends on where in the Highlands you live. Some people here might tell me they do not have the same experiences I’ve had living so close to Bardstown Rd.
Live in Southern Indiana across the bridge from downtown Louisville. Love our area and enjoy all of the small town vibes but close to many things to do in Louisville.
Southern Indiana is a great place to be! I have a video coming out in the next few weeks about Southern Indiana. I'll link it here when it's available. Thanks for watching.
Born and raised 54 yrs im here to tell you all, if I had a way out id run, it’s like playing Russian roulette with your life everytime you walk out your door !! Murders all day everyday, the gangs and drugs has ruined our beautiful city it’s sick the cops will arrest but then judges will let murderers and rapist right out the same damn night their locked up it’s sickening !!! Pls don’t send your kids here to live until they get a grip on the evil devastation that has taken over…. Oh a edit and let’s not forget the way their raising taxes on utility cost that and rent is stealing a lot of homes away from a lot of people that can not afford such greed.. oh and one more edit if you like your vehicle this isn’t the city for you cause car jacking is a constant here so yeah plan to Uber also..
Next do one about the outlining areas around Louisville. I grew up in Oldham County and now live in Henry County. Love the area and can be in downtown in about 25 minutes. Still get to enjoy the city but live in a country atmosphere. Cheaper home prices also.
I was just there a couple days ago. My husband and I went there from Michigan to buy a car. There's some really nice looking neighborhoods their. We ate at Ramsi's (Bardstown Rd) and went to a large park in nearby Shelbyville area. Met many friendly people. Had fun. Didn't get to Kentucky Kingdom yet. We'll return in August.
The people in Louisville make the city special. They are welcoming, warm, and go out of there way to help one another. Once I almost lost my life on the freeway b/c of ice and was pretty shook up one morning. Like 30 cars stopped on there way to work to make sure I was alright. Later the cop that drove me home said many people had called them to get me. It was surprising and inspiring.
I have lived south of Louisville for over twenty years. The Louisville Metro has a high violent crime rate. Area of Germantown, mentioned in this video, is particularly sketchy. Let me put it this way; you won't see any Germans living in Germantown.
Germantown and Schnitzelburg are areas that have been revitalized over the past few years. Unfortunately, crime in Louisville is increasing, as is the case with many cities across the US. Thanks for watching!
We are looking to move to KY, purchase property ect. What I would have much preferred to hear would be the following. How far is the local post office to certain areas, where is the nearest Costco, BJs wholesale or comparable for food purchasing, not tourism or tourism based restaurant's. Where people buy their meats and veggies from. Are there local farmers markets? How far the drive to Nashville is, how far the drive to Indy is. What areas are the most crime ridden and what areas are safer. For example, in Indy you have Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville and Fort Wayne which are the main areas to look at. Which area is best to purchase a home with land with the ability to build a large shed on the property. What are the year-round temperatures, how is the snow season.Otherwise thank you for the information posted, would love to know more.
Thanks so much for watching! These are great questions. I am happy to help and discuss further. Send me a email to discuss katie.skeen@gatewoodproperties.com. Definitely check out some of my other videos, which address several of these topics. But several I haven't addressed, so I'll add to my upcoming video list and link here when they are finished!
As a person born and raised in Kentucky I can tell you this woman who made this video doesn't know much of what she's talking about... I live in burkesville Kentucky and the community here is extremely friendly,.. we are the definition of southern hospitality... I'm insulted at this moment that she knows what she's talking about but she has no southern accent.... One thing I know for certain if you move here and you are respectable person you'll be loved
I would leave this city if I could! Been here since 1985. Used to be great, but is now crime ridden. Made the list of highest murder rates, last year I think. Only thing keeping me here is an elderly family member I care for, who refuses to leave.
Great question! It depends… are you renting or buying? Will you or a spouse be working anywhere in Louisville? I’m happy to help suggest a few neighborhoods. Also, side note, my husband graduated from SBTS! You are going to love Southern and Louisville. Let me know how I can help 😊
@@ApostleMooretv if you want to be near campus I would suggest Crescent Hill or St. Matthews neighborhoods. When my husband was a student we rented an apartment at carriage house north and it was very affordable.
That's a great question! The public school system can be a little tricky. For middle school, I would suggest Barret Traditional Middle School, Jefferson County Traditional Middle School, and Noe Middle School. Make sure to check your address in the JCPS school finder to see which schools the particular address is eligible for. apps.jefferson.kyschools.us/demographics/schoolfinder.aspx
Great question! When I talk about monthly income in the video, I got the information from the Economic Policy Institute. The budget has changed slightly since the filming on the video. You can get more info from their website: www.epi.org/resources/budget/ I hope that helps!
I love how you just completely ignore the West End and the Historical Portland neighborhood. Typical of the way the city feels about it's oldest neighborhood. Portland is home to the old Marine Hospital currently being refurbished as a monument to all of the river workers who needed medical treatment along the Ohio river. Not to mention home to the first city sanctioned baseball league park. There are plenty of historical homes and buildings in the Portland neighborhood. I have been a Portland resident my entire life and I'm saddened by the fact that you failed to even mention this great neighborhood, which by the way, is currently being revitalized. New restaurants and businesses are investing in the future of Portland neighborhood.
Louisville is always growing, and people there will talk to anyone. Not a stuck up vibe at all . They will talk to strangers, and most in Louisville, seemed to always try to help out folk. Couple of areas are now foreigners, and 20 years ago 99% white. Dont mind helping folk, but to tear up where u live is most horrible culture I've seen. Scary part is theres blocks and blocks of neighborhoods, and not one house is a married couple.
You stayed clear of anything west of 4th and south of what, 3rd. People, if you're truly wanting to know louisville, it's real simple, the areas she mentioned here are extremely high priced. With the only exception being Germantown. And where Churchhill is, that's the ghetto. The folks who live there are overwhelmingly below the poverty line. NuLu is a brilliant spin of southern gentrification. If you're going to make a video on Louisville, be open and honest, don't hand pick your favorite WHITE areas
I live in and grew up in Louisville and the high crime rate in most parts of the city should be reason enough not to move here. The west end and south end by Churchill Downs you just shouldn’t go to at night if you value your safety. Churchill downs is more than a little rough. It’s extremely rundown and dangerous. Constant shootings. I know, I have worked in both the south and west end. Even the highlands, old Louisville, and Germantown are pretty dangerous at night and when I lived in old Louisville my apartment got broken into. There’s A LOT of homelessness too. I live in St Matthews now and crime is still abundant here. So unless you’re planning to move to Middletown or Prospect, your safety will always be a major concern. I grew up loving my city but as of late I am ashamed to live here. There’s a lot of far right racist radicals but also far left radicals which makes for a big divide in the community. Let’s just say I am moving out of this city and never looking back the second I graduate.
lived here all my life 62 years.jefferson county is to liberal. way to much crim. when i retire am taking my my money= taxes and moving out of this city called louisville

I love Louisville. Born and raised for 32 years. Just recently moved to Atlanta. Louisville will always be home ❤
Louisville misses you! Best of Luck in Atlanta.
Nessa may I ask you about living in Louisville before I move there please
I was stationed at Ft. Knox for awhile in the early 2000s and loved going up to Louisville.."Thunder over Louisville" was great and spent many weekend nights in the Highland area. Definitely an underrated city.
Thunder over louisville is the best!!
I was also stationed at Ft. Knox from 1993-1995 but my husband and I decided to stay in Radcliff after I ETSd. Still here.
Louisville is more a collection if neighborhoods rather than a big city
Thats a city for you
That's a great way to explain it! There are so many great parts of Louisville.
Very true. It’s a cool town.
@@BillyBob-ft8ch louisville is the 16th largest city in the USA and in the top 5 for most square miles
@@SmokeyThaLion it’s too spread out for me to think of it as a city. There are still operating farms inside the metro. I remember the county/city merger and I hope all the townships keep their identity as time goes on.
Yes!!! Finally a video about the neighborhoods. Thank you making this one!
Yes! And another one about neighborhoods coming next week as well!

So sweet! I'm happy to hear you have wonderful memories of your grandmother and Louisville. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I live in the Highlands. You should see it now. Gun shots, loud bass, trash everywhere, begging drug addicts, rampant crime and theft……sad.
@@Polygraph_test That makes me so sad. I don't understand how the home values are staying so high with that much crime. :(

Man so crazy that the judges let the cops walk free after they murder
@@4LLT0G3TH3R you are absolutely correct on that also
@@katieskeen yes me too
Not to mention the homeless and drug users begging at every intersection, setting up tents in our parks and anywhere they can.
Next do one about the outlining areas around Louisville. I grew up in Oldham County and now live in Henry County. Love the area and can be in downtown in about 25 minutes. Still get to enjoy the city but live in a country atmosphere. Cheaper home prices also.
Thanks for the feedback! Great idea. This month I’ll have videos about oldham county but I’ll have the other counties coming soon!

I moved to Louisville in 2012, moved back home in 2018 and back to Louisville same year in 6 mos. I really like it!
I'm glad to hear you enjoy living here!
Was planning to stay in the ville for two years, 30 year later still here near fern creek

What would you say is a good amount to save before moving into an apartment here (I currently live on the Gulf Coast).
Great video!!
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. What did you find most helpful?
She missed the black side of the city, the west end, there are buituful homes in the Shawnee park area of the city.
Great idea for a future video, thank you! Northwestern Parkway also has some really beautiful homes.
Thought you might enjoy my newest video about the west end of Louisville.
Nice video. Best wishes from Serbia/Europe.
Thank you very much!

Area around Churchill downs a little ruff. Understatement 😅

So glad you love living here! What do you like the most about Louisville?
@@katieskeen every thing I raised my four kids here when they were younger they loved the Holiday Season
Great video

I'll be moving to Louisville, KY to study at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Which neighborhood is best to live in?
Great question! It depends… are you renting or buying? Will you or a spouse be working anywhere in Louisville? I’m happy to help suggest a few neighborhoods. Also, side note, my husband graduated from SBTS! You are going to love Southern and Louisville. Let me know how I can help 😊
@@katieskeen Thanks for your response. I will be renting in the meantime. My family will join me later. Any suggestions will be of great help.

I love the Highlands area
Hello, what de best middle school in Louisville !? I need to live near the school for can I enroll my daughter?
That's a great question! The public school system can be a little tricky.

Make sure to check your address in the JCPS school finder to see which schools the particular address is eligible for. apps.jefferson.kyschools.us/demographics/schoolfinder.aspx
Anchorage schools. But being able to afford to live there is the issue.
Private school in Jefferson County. Public schools are the pits.
interesting and fun
Thanks! What did you find the most interesting?
I lived up there I lived off goose creek rd still friends there try tumble weed restaurant

What do you appreciate most about Louisville?
Quick question: does monthly income mean the same as in gross annual income divided by 12 months?
