Bradley
Head to Cottage Inn for comfort cuisine or Dairy Kastle for dessert
There's a rich variety of local restaurants in Bradley. Housed in a two-room building, the Cottage Inn specializes in southern comfort food and has been ingrained in the Bradley community since 1929. It's famous for its fried chicken, country fried steak and fried chicken livers. The Cottage Inn Hot Brown is the restaurant's version of the Louisville hot brown, a roasted turkey sandwich on white toast topped with melted cheese, bacon and tomatoes. The Derby City Pizza Company is a popular local pizza chain. At Derby City, the pie's toppings flow all the way to the cracker-crusted edge, and it's also well-known for its spaghetti, meatballs and garlic bread. New Wave Burritos, once a late-night delivery service, is now a dine-in restaurant whose theme is 80s nostalgia. From the new wave music, ambiance and signage, it's like stepping into a time machine. Popular burritos include the Tourist, which includes ancho roasted chicken and crunchy slaw. Locals often order them with a side of elote, a Mexican street food that is hot corn on the cob with mayo, flaming hot Cheetos, cotija cheese and lime juice. For dessert, Dairy Kastle is a soft-serve ice cream Louisville staple, serving classic banana split sundaes and chili dogs.Jefferson County Public Schools has options to Bradley's west and east
Jefferson County Public Schools serves the city of Louisville. Though no public schools are within the mainly residential streets of Bradley, neighboring Audubon has John J. Audubon Elementary School, rated a B-minus on Niche and hosting the Junior Achievement club, encouraging pupils to join community service projects. To the west, there are options like Noe Middle School, rated an A-minus, and Dupont Manual High School, boasting an A-plus rating.Bradley Park in town, with proximity to Kentucky Kingdom and Audubon Country Club
For recreation, Bradley residents have a few options. Bradley Park may be less than an acre, but this green space features a jungle gym, swings, a climbing wall and a pavilion for picnics. The over 100-year-old Audubon Country Club is only a few minutes from the Bradley neighborhood. This 18-hole championship golf course is a pleasure for golfers of all levels with its tree-lined, hardy zoysia fairways and bentgrass. Tennis courts, a swimming pool and a free-weight gym are also available to Audubon members. The Kentucky Kingdom & Hurricane Bay amusement park opens in the summer and features everything from roller coasters and Ferris wheels to waterslides and wave pools, and it's just 2 miles south of Bradley.Catch a Cards game right next door, or check out the Expo Center
From the excitement of a Louisville Cardinals football game just a 15-minute walk from Bradley, to a rodeo or concert 3 miles south at the Kentucky Expo Center, major event venues are always within reach. Bob Sokoler, owner of the Sokoler Team at REMAX Properties East, says, “Louisville is a big college football town. My daughter went to U of Louisville, and my son went to U of Kentucky, and there’s a huge rivalry between them both, so when they play each other, shut the front door, it’s going to get crazy.”Brick single-story homes with suburban sidewalk space
Homes within the Bradley neighborhood are mostly brick bungalow-style houses built in the early 1900s. Because of its urban environment, homes are close together, and there are wide sidewalks for residents to jog or walk under shade trees in the hotter months. Homes start at around $150,000 for under 1,000 square foot cottages and go up to the mid $300,000s for three to four-bedroom, 2-story homes or duplexes. Residents should be advised that there are two cemeteries within the neighborhood, The Temple Cemetery and Keneseth Israel Cemetery, cut off from the residential streets by fencing and shrub growth.
I-65 for highway access and TARC buses for city commutes
Several TARC buses run along Eastern Parkway and Preston to access the Kentucky Expo Center or the University of Louisville campus directly. Interstate 65 borders Bradley to the south and can take residents into south Indiana and the greater Louisville area. Sokoler notes that “The fact that it’s a couple of miles from downtown makes it an easy commute for anyone working in the city.” Residents are also a 3-mile drive from Louisville International Airport, a major travel hub for Bourbon City. The low thrum of rising and landing jets can be heard from homes in Bradley, but it's far enough that it may not disturb light sleepers.
