A rural bedroom community on the outskirts of Canton
Louisville's rural feel originates from more than its location in the wide-open fields between larger cities Canton and Alliance. Part of it revolves around its downtown, still with vintage buildings dating back to the mid-19th century. Part of it is the population of about 9,500 and the way residents gather regularly for community events. And then there's the traffic, or rather, lack of it, says Dean Mickley, a resident and real estate agent with Howard Hanna Real Estate Services. “I don’t like traffic lights, so we’re in good shape here — we only have about four,” he says, adding commutes to larger job centers are easy. “It’s like you’d see in a magazine about small-town America.''
From New Traditional homes to American Foursquares
The median home price is $240,000, lower than the national median. Many of the homes downtown were built from the early 1900s to the 1950s, whereas the neighborhoods on the outskirts typically date from the 1970s to the 2000s. Common architectural styles in new subdivisions range from New Traditionals to farmhouses, while the historic homes at the center of the city are ranch-style and American Foursquares.
According to Mickley, most people work outside the city. The largest local employers are the school district and a collection of small manufacturing companies.
Four Square style homes can be found near downtown Louisville, Ohio.
Ranch homes are common in the new developments throughout Louisville, Ohio.

Parks and The Louisville Leopards Stadium
Mary C. Metzger Park is a popular recreation space, best known for the "Magical Rainbow Playground," a castle-like playground structure with multicolored turrets. Metzger also includes a dog park, soccer fields, picnic areas and miles of paths.
The Louisville High Leopards Stadium, off-campus by a few blocks, hosts high school football games with a capacity for 5,800 fans. “Our football stadium is equivalent to a college stadium,” says Mickley. “It’s pretty impressive.''
