Pocket city of historic homes in eastern Louisville
Established in 1952, the city of Windy Hills is known as a “city of historic homes.” Located about 8 miles from downtown, the Kentucky suburb puts its own history within easy reach of modern-day Louisville. “Windy Hills is a beautiful residential area that is known for its history and friendliness,” says Realtor Sandy Gulick, a Louisville native with almost 40 years of real estate experience.

Inspired by established 19th-century colonials
Sprawling and sometimes hilly streets curve alongside manicured lawns and tree-shaded sidewalks. With enduring beauty, homes built by early pioneer families from Virginia and Pennsylvania still stand alongside developments from the 20th century, including the historical landmark of Herr-Rudy House. “Houses are generally a little smaller compared to neighboring places like Indian Hills,” Gulick says, noting that ranch styles and colonial homes are the predominant architectural styles. Townhouses and condominium communities within Windy Hills fit smoothly among the stand-alone homes. The median listing price for real estate here is $405,000; a first-floor condo could list as low as $130,000, while a new traditional example spanning over 4,000 square feet fetches up to $734,500.

Tickled green with Rudy the Bear
Windy Hills Green is indeed a green refuge that greets residents and guests as they enter the neighborhood. “It’s small but very pretty,” Gulick notes. Folks enjoy people-watching from benches throughout the park, taking a stroll on the winding path, or hanging out with Windy Hills’ friendliest occupant: the statue of Rudy the Bear. Plaques to commemorate events or memorialize loved ones sit at the foot of the park’s trees, a gesture that reflects how close the Windy Hills community is. Those a little more active can explore The Loop, a 3-mile path that runs along the border of the city. Parents can also take their kids to Sojourn Community Church for a day at the playground and baseball field and eat lunch at the picnic tables.

Noosh Nosh is a casual all-day café with a wide-ranging Mediterranean and Italian-inspired menu. From under the playfully bright sign, regulars order their notable Nosh linguine and Margherita pizza. For a more upscale experience, foodies head to Anoosh Bistro for some twists on American cuisine. Residents can stock up their pantries and fridges at nearby groceries like The Fresh Market, Kroger and Paul’s Fruit Market.
