The Cherokee Triangle Historic District is a vibrant neighborhood two miles from the center of downtown Louisville. It is considered a part of a larger area of Louisville called The Highlands. Adjacent to a dynamic commercial district, residents are within walking distance of a diversity of coffee shops, restaurants, movie theatre, boutiques, antique stores, and amenities like the hardware store, grocery and book sellers. Mature trees, some one hundred years old, line the streets, providing shade and beauty. Historic homes reflecting an eclectic mix of architectural styles dot the preservation district. Styles include Italianate, Second Empire, Queen Anne, Richardsonian Romanesque, Neoclassical, Tudor Revival, Beaux Arts, and many more. Nearby, Cherokee Park (designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the designer of New York's Central Park) and Willow Park serve as an urban oasis for bike riding, walking, sledding and picnics. Begun as an early suburb of Louisville, the Cherokee Triangle reflects the successful efforts of this neighborhood to preserve its thoughtful historic design while still providing a cosmopolitan and forward-thinking place. Walking distance to Highland’s cafes, shops, bars and restaurants. 2 miles to downtown, 7 miles to the airport, 5 miles to Churchill Downs. Convenient and easy access to Fourth Street Live, Waterfront Park, Cherokee Park, Churchill Downs, NuLu, Butchertown and Market Street. Parking on Cherokee Road is easy and convenient. Spots are always available either in front of the house or on the same block. On rare occasions (Derby, Thunder or festivals in the Highlands) when Bradstown Road is packed, it can be a bit more difficult to find parking on the street. In those events, we can allow guests to park on the apron behind the garage.
