Laid-back living in a family-centered Louisville suburb
On any given evening in Cloverleaf, residents are likely to hear the peaceful sounds of neighborhood kids playing outside, crickets chirping and train whistles sounding in the distance. Just 7 miles south of Louisville, Kentucky, Cloverleaf is known as a "tranquil and quiet neighborhood" according to Jack May, Realtor and Broker with May Team Realtors. It's the kind of place where, along sleepy, residential roads, passersby are likely to see swing sets in front yards, kiddie pools filled and ready for cooling off come summertime and families barbecuing outdoors together. "It's a great place to raise kids," says May. "It feels safe for the kids to be out playing and it's very family-friendly." Cloverleaf's sense of security is in part thanks to its active neighborhood association. Holding regular trash pickup initiatives and community meetings throughout the year, Cloverleaf's HOA ensures that all residents, from young to old, do their part to help the neighborhood grow. And, with a central location near the Henry Watterson Expressway, folks in Cloverleaf can access Louisville's amenities just a short drive away.
Midcentury brick homes in Cloverleaf
With mature trees and miles of green lawns spanning the neighborhood, Cloverleaf is a bucolic suburb for many Louisville residents. Homes here are situated on quarter- to full-acre lots which allows plenty of room for greenery, privacy and backyard hobbies like gardening. Most houses in the neighborhood tend to be a mix of popular suburban styles from the 1950s and '60s, ranging from split-levels and Classical Revivals to ramblers and cottages. One unique aspect of the Cloverleaf neighborhood is that many homes here were built with brick. "Since they're brick, homes here tend to last longer and do better as investments than traditional frame houses," says May. The average sales price here is around $220,000 dollars, and homes in this neighborhood cost almost $70,000 less than the average for the greater Louisville area. Prices in Cloverleaf do vary depending on the size and condition of the property, however a 1000-square-foot cottage might sell for as low as $150,000 dollars, while a larger Classical Revival style complete with a built-in garage can go for as high as $300,000 dollars.

We have only had one incident that I can remember and that was when someone was breaking into people's garages. But when we all met and started our look out, we found out who was the guilty party and they were arrested.
