Crescent Hill offers a wide variety of community activities, shopping, and dining all within walking distance of any home in the area. The railroad tracks that bisect Crescent Hill along Frankfort Avenue were the key to Crescent Hill’s development: With both passenger trains and mule-drawn streetcars began running along the old Frankfort Pike (later U.S. 60), it wasn't long before the city's first suburban commuting community emerged. Early subdivisions quickly developed along new side streets -- Ewing, Peterson, Franck, Galt, Hite, Park (later renamed Bayly), Birchwood, Kennedy, Crescent and more. A national agricultural fair in 1857 drew attention to the then-rural area, and the first formal subdivision, Fair View, was developed in the area that is now Crescent Avenue around 1875.

Current ACTIVE listings in the Anchorage area Current FORECLOSURE properties in the Anchorage area Current SOLD properties in the Anchorage area Local Events: . Anchorage thrives beneath a canopy of oak and magnolias. Here historic homes, country estates, and smaller homes sit side by side. In spring neighbors walk, bike, or jog past flowering dogwoods, forsythias, jonquils, and tulips. Citizens, young and old, involve themselves with theatre groups, city government, and community school projects. Anchorage - a community dedicated to family, neighbors, its school, the environment, its pets, and horses - is more than a place to drop anchor. Anchorage is a safe harbor: a twenty-year stay is common; fifty years is not uncommon. The land that is now Anchorage was a part of Isaac Hite's 1773 land grant, which awarded most of the land in today's Jefferson County to officers in the Virginia militia, in exchange for their service in the French and Indian War. Early maps refer to the area as Hite's Mill. Part of his original grant now makes up the grounds of Central State Hospital and E. P. "Tom" Sawyer State Park. The nautical name is a bit odd, considering the city is over twelve miles from the Ohio River. It traces its origin The Anchorage, home of riverboat captain and early resident James W. Goslee, and was chosen to honor him when the city incorporated in 1878, three years after his death. Tradition says that an anchor hanging inside the rim of a locomotive wheel at the center of town was taken by Goslee from his ship, the Matamora. The Louisville and Frankfort Railroad (later purchased by the Louisville & Nashville Railroad) was built through the area in 1849. The development of an interurban rail line in 1901 allowed faster travel between Anchorage and Louisville, as well as other towns in the area. The heavily shaded city, with temperatures often noticeably cooler than in Downtown Louisville, became a popular location for summer homes for wealthy Louisvillians. One such resident was brewing magnate Isaac Wolfe Bernheim, still remembered locally for his philanthropy. In 1914, Bernheim commissioned the firm of Frederick Law Olmsted to design a plan for Anchorage, which would incorporate stone bridges and triangle intersections, similar to Olmsted's plans for Louisville's park system.
Papa John's Pizza founder John Schnatter is a resident and owns about 6% of the land in Anchorage, including much of the city center. He restored an interurban rail station, three historic buildings and built a fourth in a similar style in the city's center, with plans to build a bank, an upscale restaurant, and a hiking trail. In an interview, he told the Courier-Journal that his goal was purely to "preserve the city's character". Subject: Douglass Hills Current ACTIVE listings in the Douglass Hills area Current FORECLOSURE properties in the Douglass Hills area Current SOLD properties in the Douglass Hills area Local Events: Douglass Hills is a city in eastern Jefferson County.Douglass Hills was farmland from 1813 until the 1970s, eventually some of it was owned by James J. Douglas from 1896 until his death in 1917. Douglass Hills was incorporated in 1973 as the farmland was turned into subdivisions. The city was one of the smallest in the entire county until the 2003 merger, when all of the areas in Jefferson County were annexed to Louisville, creating the formidable Louisville Metro area. Even with the merger, Douglass Hills has retained it individuality and remains one of the most popular neighborhoods in the Louisville region. Roughly 6,000 people call residential Douglass Hills, home. The median value of a home in the area is approximately $188,400. Homes in Douglass Hills are an average of 26 years old, and are mostly occupied by owners, although there is a healthy rental market in the neighborhood. Although many of the houses are newer, the architecture in Douglass Hills often reflects the area's intriguing history. To get a closer look at this history, head over to the Conrad-Caldwell House Museum. This impressive Richardsonian mansion was constructed between 1892 and 1895 for the wealthy tanner Theophilus Conrad. An immigrant from France, Conrad designed the impressive structure and lived there until his death in 1905. The home is now owned by the St. James Court Association, which allows the general public to take tours of this incredible property. Subject: Hurstbourne, Ky.

Local Events:
Hurstbourne is a city in Jefferson County, Kentucky.The land was surveyed by John Floyd in 1774 and part of a military land grant to Henry Harrison. It was first settled by William Linn, who built a stockade at Linn's Station, along Beargrass Creek in 1779. It was probably located along the east side of what is now Hurstbourne Parkway. In 1789, Richard Clough Anderson purchased 500 acres and established an estate called Soldier's Retreat, which made up much of Hurstbourne. It was owned in 1842 by John Jeremiah Jacob, who renamed it Lynnford, and by 1915 the property was known as Hurstbourne. Jacob's 1840s house is now part of the Hurstbourne Country Club's clubhouse. Hurstbourne Parkway was created in 1935 when an earlier lane was widened. By 1965 the property was called Hindbaugh Farms, and as it was by then located on the edge of Louisville, commercial and residential development began. It incorporated as a city in 1982 to prevent annexation by Louisville. Almost all land was developed by 1990. It is today bisected by I-64 and effectively an edge city to Louisville, with a great number of office parks and shopping centers, as well as an industrial park, concentrated within a few blocks of Hurstbourne Parkway, on land that was Subject: Middletown Current ACTIVE listings in the Middletown area Current FORECLOSURE properties in the Middletown area Current SOLD properties in the Middletown area Local Events: Green River Writers, Inc. was created in 1985 by the late James O'Dell and Mary "Ernie" O'Dell to encourage regional writers and poets.

Subject: Saint Matthews Current ACTIVE listings in the Saint Matthews area Current FORECLOSURE properties in the Saint Matthews area Current SOLD properties in the Saint Matthews area In 1946, the Louisville Board of Alderman passed an ordinance proposing to annex St. Matthews' business district. This was viewed as an attempt to grab the revenue-producing business section without having to provide city services to the thousands of people living in the nearby residential areas. (At the time, St. Matthews was believed to be the most populous unincorporated community in the United States.) When business owners in the affected area went to court to block the annexation, Louisville passed a second ordinance, proposing annexation of the residential areas as well. The state Court of Appeals ruled against the annexation in 1950. Persistence paid off for local businesses and on March 22, 1950, St. Matthews was incorporated as a sixth-class city. Initially it consisted of only three square blocks, bounded by Westport Rd, Gilman Ave, Chenoweth Ln., and St. Matthews Ave. By 1954, St. Matthews comprised two areas that were home to about 6,500 people who had voted to accept annexation into the new city. One area was bounded by the city of Bellewood, Frankfort Ave, Windy Hills and Chenoweth Ln, the other by Shelbyville Rd, Norbourne Blvd, Eline Ave. and Browns Ln. St. Matthews became a fourth-class city in June 1954. The city's first "city hall" was Mayor James Noland's home on Kennison Ave. Subsequently, city offices were located in the former Post Office Building at Willis Ave. and Breckenridge Ln; then in the Colonial Building on Breckenridge Ln. which had to be vacated after being annexed by Louisville; then in the store front near the present site of Trinity High School; and later, in 1960, in a new City Hall built just east of Thierman Ln. That building with just 5,500 square feet of usable space was eventually outgrown, and in 1994, a new City Hall was established at 3940 Grandview Ave. in the 30,000 square-foot, former Greathouse Elementary School building, which the city purchased for $1.3 million and renovated at a cost of more than $1 million. The Grandview Avenue building presently houses city government offices, the police department, the St. Matthews/Eline branch of the Louisville Free Public Library and office and meeting space for such groups as the St. Matthews Area Business Association and the Beargrass/St. Matthews Historical Society.

This neighborhood is just a short drive from downtown Louisville. The population was 558 at the 2000 census, and was estimated to have increased to 718 by the 2006 census estimate. Glenview has the second-highest per capita income of any place in Kentucky and the 74th highest of any place in the United States. Its boundaries are roughly Lime Kiln Lane to the east, River Road to the north, Brittany Woods Circle to the south, and the Knights of Columbus property on River Road to the West. The city is known for its old estate homes on high bluffs overlooking the Ohio River. Much of the land was originally owned by Virginian James Smalley Bate, and was purchased in 1868 by meat packer James C. McFerran. McFerran opened horse farm called Glen View. After his death in 1885, John E. Green acquired the farm and renamed it Glenview Stock Farm. In the late 1800s, wealthy families from Louisville began moving east, to build summer homes (such as in Anchorage, Kentucky) and eventually full-time residences. Early residents of Glenview cooperated with other communities to open the Louisville, Harrods Creek and Westport Railroad in 1877, a commuter rail line, which would be in use until it was abandoned in the 1950s. Some of Louisville's most influential families, such as the Binghams, the Ballards, and the Belknaps, moved into the area after the opening of the railroad. Louisville attempted to annex Glenview in 1983, which led to residents incorporating as a 6th class city. Many of the houses are part of the Glenview Historic District, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. As of 2007, Glenview's population is 718 people. Since 2000, it has had a population growth of 28.67 percent. The median home cost in Glenview is $688,800. Renters make up 5.90% of the Glenview, KY, population 7.84% of houses and apartments in Glenview, KY, are unoccupied (vacancy rate).

The population was 20,009 at the 2008 census. In 2003, the area was annexed to the city of Louisville due to a merger between the city and Jefferson County's unincorporated communities. Fern Creek is now a neighborhood within the city limits of Louisville. It is located about 12 miles from Downtown Louisville, and the oldest structure in the area is a log home dating to 1789. The earliest road through the area, Stage Road, connected Louisville to Bardstown, Kentucky. This eventually became the Louisville and Bardstown Turnpike and finally, Bardstown Road. The community was initially known as Stringtown, but was called Fern Creek by the 1870s. Both Union and Confederate armies passed through the area during the American Civil War. An interurban railway line was connected in 1908. The Jefferson County Fairgrounds were located in the area just off Bardstown Road from 1900 to 1928. There is still a "Fairgrounds Road" at that location. The Fern Creek area was largely agricultural for much of its history, but has been developed as a suburb of Louisville since the 1960s. Fern Creek High School is located in the area. Fern Creek is the birthplace of early-20th-century heavyweight boxing champion Marvin Hart.
