Convenience amid quiet streets
Surrounding the city of Wellington and located close to Louisville, Hawthorne offers its residents quiet living while, simultaneously, remaining bordered by several major thoroughfares linking it to the city and beyond. Hawthorne’s historical ties also go all the way back to its establishment just after the turn of the 20th century. “Most of the neighborhood streets are named after writers or poets of the time when it was established in 1909,” says Bob Sokoler, owner of the Sokoler Team at RE/MAX Properties East. “There also isn’t much inventory in the area.”
Hawthorne features wide streets within the residential areas of the neighborhood.

Home varieties on tree-lined roads
Along Hawthorne’s streets, residents will find many Cape Cod-style homes as well as ranch constructions, cottages and contemporary designs. Many of the yards are well-maintained and boast trees that bloom in the spring, meaning walks along the wide sidewalks have quite the view. Some properties have fencing around the perimeter, and there’s even some willow trees draped along the winding roads. Large driveways are common for homes in Hawthorne, as well, and garages can be found in both attached and detached forms. Residences typically sell for between $250,000 and $350,000, with a few outliers having been priced at closer to $400,000.

Pickup games at nearby parks
Though no parks fall within Hawthorne’s boundaries, several open areas are near the neighborhood. The biggest is Seneca Park just to the north, located on Pee Wee Reese Road, which derives its name from the hometown hero and longtime Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop. Appropriately, Seneca offers a baseball field, where players might mimic one of Reese’s iconic defensive plays, along with tennis and volleyball courts and a soccer field. Visitors can also hit the links on its golf course or go for walks or runs. Cherokee Park, spanning nearly 400 acres, is also close by, offering numerous amenities including Big Rock Pond, picnic areas, archery and, in the winter, sledding.

An iconic university with automotive aid
Sullivan University calls Hawthorne home for its Louisville location, one of four that the private institution operates. For residents who drive Teslas, the college’s campus also offers a Supercharger station for the cars. “University chancellor Glenn Sullivan spearheaded having one of the first charging stations in the area,” Sokoler says. “It’s right off the expressway and has eight stations.” Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the Supercharger was the first to be established in the Louisville area.

Roadway and airborne traffic
Bowman Field, in use for more than a century, is located to the north of Hawthorne. “On a regular basis, the landing strip takes planes over the neighborhood,” Sokoler says. “That’s something residents consider when moving here.” For those on the road, Route 155 is to the north. Known locally as Taylorsville Road, it begins at the northwestern corner of Hawthorne and runs for just over 20 miles to the southeast. Route 150 comprises the southwestern-facing boundary, linking motorists as far north as Illinois and Indiana and with other major Kentucky cities like Mount Vernon. Closer by, residents are only about 15 minutes from the city lights of downtown Louisville.
