High-priced homes in a historic preservation district
The neighborhood is filled with diverse architecture. Options range from the understated designs of Cape Cods to the unique turrets and ornate details of late-stage Victorians. In between, the sturdy frames and covered porches of Craftsman bungalows and American Foursquares are prominent. The wide variety of options results in prices that range from the low $300,000s to nearly $2 million. The median sales price in the mid-$500,000s is among the highest in the city. Cherokee Triangle was added to the National Register of Historic Places in the mid-1970s, and, as a registered historic district, changes and upgrades have to be approved by the city. “Renovations have to fit within the historical footprint and character of the homes, so if you replace a window, it has to be made of high-quality Victorian glass,” says Pete Kirven, a Realtor with Kentucky Select Properties who lives in Cherokee Triangle. Because of this, homeowners are eligible for tax credits to help cover the costs of improvements. The neighborhood also offers several condo options, including high-rise units and single-family homes that have been converted into multi-family residences. Prices range from the mid-$100,000s to more than $1 million. Cherokee Triangle is a premier spot for investors, as about 60 percent of its residents are renters.

Outdoor activity at Cherokee Park is a highlight of Triangle living
Cherokee Park, which opened in 1892, covers over 400 acres and features a scenic loop of just over 2 miles winding through rolling hills, open meadows and woodlands. An archery range, sports fields and hiking trails along Beargrass Creek are other featured amenities. “You really cannot walk through Cherokee Park without seeing a family of deer staring back at you. Our dog just had to get used to it,” says Diane Kirven, who is married to Pete Kirven and also works for Kentucky Select Properties. Willow Park is a neighborhood green space on the edge of Cherokee Park, and the neighborhood also borders Cave Hill Cemetery & Arboretum.
Cherokee Triangle residents can stop by nearby Cherokee Park for a relaxing day outdoors.

Cherokee Triangle Art Fair is the neighborhood’s signature event
The community comes together regularly for events sponsored by the Cherokee Triangle Association, and the neighborhood’s signature event is the Cherokee Triangle Art Fair. Held on the weekend before the Kentucky Derby, this juried competition attracts a large group of local artists and vendors. The annual festivities celebrate art amid a lively atmosphere of food, music and fellowship in a community that embraces creativity. “It's also a very LGBTQ+ friendly place,” says Jay Gulick, managing broker and Realtor at Kentucky Select Properties. “I grew up in Cherokee Triangle — Atherton High School class of '89 — and it's always been a very welcoming and diverse place.”
The Fall Festival is a popular event at Cave Hill Cemetery & Arboretum nearby.
