Shively is an established community with a lot to offer
Shively is a well-established home-rule city southwest of downtown Louisville that is known for its collection of brick ranch-style homes and convenient access to several metro-area employment centers. Homebuyers are often drawn to the city's well-built midcentury housing on spacious lots, while the convenience of shopping and dining along Dixie Highway and a diverse mix of recreational options add to the community's appeal.
Shively has been a city sine the 1930s.
Dixie Highway runs through Shively.

Midcentury ranch-style homes are found throughout the community
Shively is a city where brick ranch-style homes are prevalent. Many of these homes sit on spacious lots with mature trees and fenced backyards. Many properties have seen upgrades over the years while keeping their original character. The typical home has three bedrooms, and detached garages or carports appear throughout the area. Beyond the dominant ranch style, Cape Cods, bungalows and a handful of multi-level midcentury designs add variety.
Prices typically range from around $100,000 to about $300,000. The median sales price in the mid-$200,000s is about 5 percent lower than the Louisville median, but it is the highest in the area. For comparison, Park Duvalle is in the mid-$100,000s, Riverside Gardens is in the high $100,000s, and Saint Denis is in the low $200,000s.
Shively has some very walkable streets.
Bungalows are common among Shively's established homes.

Air quality has long been a concern
Homebuyers considering Shively should be aware that there is a significant industrial presence along the nearby Ohio River that includes several plants for gasoline, rubber and chemical manufacturing. Residents have long expressed concerns about the air quality and pollution levels in the area. Grassroots efforts from community organizations and increased regulations have led to a significant reduction in air pollution since the mid-2000s.
Shopping and dining along Dixie Highway
Dixie Highway runs through the community, providing convenient access to a nearby Kroger Marketplace and several local eateries. Popular dining destinations include:
Dixie Chicken, a Dixie Highway staple for Southern-style comfort food
Franco's Restaurant & Catering, a longtime local favorite for homestyle Southern cooking
Big Hopp's Southern Eatery, a popular soul food restaurant with a distinctive New Orleans flair
Bud's Tavern, a friendly, neighborhood-style hangout known for cold drinks and camaraderie
Shively is also home to the Stitzel-Weller Distillery, which offers guided tours and tastings. The community landmark opened in 1935, three years before the city was incorporated.
Interstate access to job centers, and industrial work nearby
Residents can drive through the city to get downtown for work and play, or they can take Interstate 264. The former is about a 6-mile drive, while the latter is more than twice that. However, both commutes take roughly 15 minutes. Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, a major transportation and logistics hub, is a 5-mile drive down I-264 that can be made in a little over 5 minutes. Residents are even closer to the industrial jobs along the riverfront.
Transit Authority of River City buses provide alternative transportation to local points of interest.
Plenty of recreational options in and around the community
Shively Park, marked by a decommissioned Army tank at its entrance, covers more than 20 acres of tree-filled land with gazebos, tennis courts, playgrounds and a colorful basketball court. Nearby Watterson Lake Park offers fishing opportunities, while Chickasaw Park and Shawnee Park are popular riverfront destinations.
For a more expansive experience, Iroquois Park is a short drive away. The park spans over 700 acres and features an old-growth forest with hiking trails. Its North Overlook is a popular destination known for its stunning views of the downtown skyline.
Shively Park has a beautifully designed basketball court.
Algonquin Park is close to the north side of Shively.

Stuart Academy is a middle school that is part of the Jefferson County Public Schools district.
Magnet elementary and high schools in the community
