Central to St. Matthews
Consisting of a dozen city blocks in the heart of St. Matthews, Springlee is near the center of what makes this city in eastern Louisville so desirable — beautiful homes, nearby schools, a system of parks and golf courses, and quality restaurants and retail spaces. “The neighborhood has the character and charm of the Highlands, its neighbor to the west,” says Realtor Brent Shaw, who has worked for his father’s real estate company, Rick Shaw Realtors, for the past 16 years. “The difference is that Springlee is newer, developed in the 1940s, and convenient to schools, hospitals and interstate travel. I’ve only handled estate sales in this neighborhood, which says a lot about how long residents stay and how seldom homes come on the market there,” Shaw says.
Springlee neighborhood is a great place to live, work, and play.
Springlee is not too far from Downtown Louisville.

Homes built to last
Minimal traditional, ranch, Cape Cods and colonials line the seven or so streets of Springlee. “These are well-built homes that attract long-term residents, and some lifers, who want to establish a family and put down roots,” Shaw says. Properties start at $280,000 for small, three-bedroom homes and jump in price as high as $430,000 as the square footage increases. Many houses in Springlee feature French doors, hardwood floors, woodburning fireplaces, screened-in back porches and fenced-in backyards. While some garages are attached, most are detached at the end of long driveways.
Many styles of homes can be found in the Springlee Neighborhood.

Lineup of parks and recreation
At Brown Park, locals can walk the wooded trails, observe the ducks and enjoy the natural beauty of the Middle Fork Beargrass Creek. A block east, the Gollapalooza horse at the entrance to Arthur K. Draut Park greets visitors. The horse installation is part of Louisville’s equine-themed public art project. For those who want to test out their golf swing, play a game of tennis or go for a swim, the private Big Spring Country Club is also very close to Springlee, just on the other side of Interstate 64.
Arthur K Draut park is a central to many neighborhoods.
Brown Park has concrete walking paths throughout the park.

Nationally recognized schools and programs
Springlee borders two Jefferson County public schools, both a fairly short walk away. St. Matthews Elementary received a B-minus from Niche and was named a nationally recognized School of Character in 2020. St Mattews provides several elective programs for students to explore their interests, such as art, music, French, STEM and advanced. Waggener High, a C school, offers Advanced Placement courses and dual-credit classes through four local universities. Students can also earn nationally recognized industry certifications and gain internship experiences through business partnerships maintained by the high school. Barret Traditional Middle, while farthest from Springlee, scored the highest from Niche, an A-minus. Several Barret sports teams have won district and state championships, such as the basketball, football, volleyball and golf teams.

Home-grown produce events
The St. Matthews Farmers Market gives local farmers a venue for selling their home-grown produce and takes place on Saturdays from May to September at the Beargrass Christian Church. St. Matthews was once mostly farmland, and the city celebrates that past with the St. Matthew’s Potato Festival held in August at St. Matthew’s Park. Live music, food and family fun are assured.
Springlee buses and highways
The 19 TARC bus stops along Browns Lane and connects residents to other parts of Louisville. Onramps to interstates 64 and 264 are less than a mile away and give residents access to Lexington, 75 miles east, Cincinnati, Ohio, 95 miles northeast, and Indianapolis, 120 miles north. Louisville International Airport is a quick 10-mile drive on Interstate 264.
Local fare and retail shopping
Coals Artisan Pizza offers a cozy atmosphere where patrons devour coal-fired pizzas, each of which bears the name of a Louisville neighborhood. Residents also flock to W. W. Cousins for one of their signature burgers. For brunch, try Biscuit Belly, a Kentucky chain serving southern fare. Locals can also shop close to home at nearby shopping centers Mall St. Matthews and Oxmoor Center, each featuring well-known chain restaurants and popular retailers.
