Homes and parks fill Fairdale, a quiet area near Louisville
Fairdale is a residential enclave of Louisville, with nature to the west and the city to the northeast. “It’s just a good, quiet community, but close to everything and affordable,” says Cheryl Sabin, an associate broker and Realtor at United Real Estate Louisville, with 15 years of experience. “They have the parks and golf right there, and if they want to do something in Louisville, it’s close — so is the track, Churchill Downs.” Shopping centers, including strip malls and the Jefferson Mall, are also nearby.
There are local fishing spots available in Fairdale.
