Growing suburb in Southwestern Louisville
Anchored by the Dixie Highway, Valley Station is a growing suburb nestled along the banks of the Ohio River. Residential streets branch off this thoroughfare, leading to a collection of single-family homes, green spaces and public schools that reflect the area’s continued development over time. “This used to be a little bit more of a depressed area, but it’s come up a lot in the past decade or two,” says Neal Cox, a Principal Broker of the Judah Real Estate Group who has been selling homes in the area for over seven years. “There has been a lot of beautification and investment in businesses here.” About 20 miles southwest of Downtown Louisville, the suburb offers residents an active retail hub, new construction and a convenient commute.
