Living in Anchorage
Named after the Anchorage estate of riverboat captain James W. Goslee, the City of Anchorage appreciates its rich history. At the center of the town stands the rumored anchor from Goslee’s ship, the Metamora. Just 18 miles from downtown Louisville, Anchorage boasts diverse architectural styles, meandering walking trails through the center of town and the conveniences of suburban living. “Eastern Louisville is an extremely popular area, drawing residents and families due to its proximity to expressways, nearby amenities and highly-ranked schools,” says Becky Lusch, a Louisville local realtor for over 15 years at Keller Williams Realty.
Anchorage is on the Northeast side of Jefferson County, Kentucky, 18 miles from Louisville.

Some of the people can be very money focused. The neighborhood is great as well as the school system. It is a very convenient place to live with grocery stores, pharmacies, and restaurants close by.
