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.
