Kingsley is a small city in Louisville, and like many other self-governing home class cities in the area, has its own mayor and city commissioners. The city has only 176 homes, two apartments and three businesses: a gas station, animal hospital, and dog grooming store. “It’s a very walkable area,” says Louise Venettozzi, broker and co-owner of Great Space Louisville, who has been in the real estate industry for over 27 years, referring to the sidewalk-lined streets. Kingsley, a designated Tree City USA since 2003, is one of many communities across the United States that actively work to plant trees that provide shade and help the planet by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. Many residents benefit from these large trees, since they provide privacy from the small roads. The green spaces across the seven streets of this community also provide the opportunity for residents to commune with nature.
The roundabout in Kingsley is a great place for residents to meet for a morning walk.

There is a large variety of Revival-style homes, including Cape Cods, Colonials and Tudors in Kingsley. “They are smaller and older homes.

Cape Cod Revival homes can sell for around $280,000 to $450,000. Colonial Revivals can cost between $320,000 to $420,000.
