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.
Style is an important criteria when choosing your Kentucky Derby outfit.

Subdivisions and a country club with single-family homes
Many homes are in subdivisions, and others are in communities where the backyards overlook the South Park Country Club. “Everybody keeps up their property, like the yards are well kept,” Dixon says. “It’s affordable to live there. There’s a variety of homes, some a bit lower under the $200,000s and some up in the $300,000s, depending on location and size of the house.” Ranch-style homes, several covered with bricks, have a price range of about $80,000 to $440,000. Cape Cods are also in the area and are priced roughly between $90,000 and $260,000. New Traditionals may be single- or multi-story and go from around $220,000 to $430,000.
