The neighborhood of Brooks sits at the base of Brooks Hill.
Brooks offers a slower pace and more space south of Louisville
Located along the southern edge of the Louisville metro area, Brooks offers a quieter alternative to city living without sacrificing convenience. Homebuyers appreciate the variety of single-family homes on oversized lots, as well as the area's strong community spirit centered around events at the local park. Easy connections to Interstate 65 simplify commutes throughout the region, while unique shopping destinations and proximity to Jefferson Memorial Forest add to the community’s rural charm.
Established single-family homes sit on spacious lots
While ranch-style homes are common, the community offers a variety of single-family homes, with space being a standard feature. Options range from midcentury homes to farmhouses to unique modern designs. The wooded surroundings add to the rural feel. While most housing is older, contemporary homes in planned settings are new additions. Prices typically range from the high $100,000s to the mid-$300,000s, although higher-acreage homes can list for as much as the mid-$500,000s.
Life in Brooks is all about taking the time to enjoy your surroundings. “It's the kind of place where … folks take time to watch the sunrise and sunset,” says Lindsey Hammons , a lifelong resident who works for United Real Estate Louisville. Brooks is in Bullitt County, part of Kentucky's Knobs region, which is known for its picturesque setting of rolling hills and mature trees. “It has a bit of a Gatlinburg feel,” says Hammons, referring to Tennessee’s popular mountain resort town.

Local park hosts youth sports and a popular farmers market
Brooks Community Park, often referred to as simply Brooks Ball Park, is the center of activity, hosting both sporting events and social gatherings. “It's very sweet to see kids playing T-ball,” says Hammons, who adds that the park “gives locals a place to talk and communicate. It keeps that sense of unity intact.” The Brooks Kentucky Chicken Swap & Farmers Market is a signature event held regularly at the park. It features vendors selling an eclectic mix of items, from live poultry to produce to handmade crafts. The park also hosts holiday celebrations throughout the year.
The nearby Shepherdsville Country Music Show, housed in a can't-miss red building, hosts a variety of live entertainment, from concerts to comedy shows.

Nearby I-65 connects residents to regional employment centers
Brooks seems much farther removed from the hustle and bustle of the city than it is. Interstate 65 runs along the community’s east side, providing convenient travel to industrial, manufacturing and logistics jobs south of the community, as well as Louisville’s premier employment centers to the north. Muhammad Ali International Airport is a little over 10 miles away via I-65, but the commute can be made in under 15 minutes. It’s about 16 miles to downtown, a commute that takes about 30 minutes. UofL Health - South Hospital is adjacent to the community, just off the interstate.

Stretching across more than 6,500 acres, it is the largest municipally owned urban forest in the United States.
