Springlee Homes for Rent

Springlee, a neighborhood in the heart of St. Matthews in eastern Louisville, offers a mix of beautiful homes, nearby schools, parks, and quality dining and retail options. Developed in the 1940s, Springlee features Minimal Traditional, Ranch, Cape Cod, and Colonial-style homes, many with French doors, hardwood floors, woodburning fireplaces, screened-in back porches, and fenced-in backyards. Most garages are detached at the end of long driveways. The neighborhood is known for its long-term residents, with homes rarely coming on the market. Springlee is bordered by St. Matthews Elementary, a nationally recognized School of Character, and Waggener High, which offers Advanced Placement courses and dual-credit classes. Barret Traditional Middle, the highest-rated school nearby, is also accessible. Local features include Brown Park with its wooded trails and Middle Fork Beargrass Creek, Arthur K. Draut Park with its Gollapalooza horse installation, and the private Big Spring Country Club for golf, tennis, and swimming. Dining options include Coals Artisan Pizza, W. W. Cousins, and Biscuit Belly, while shopping is convenient at Mall St. Matthews and Oxmoor Center. The neighborhood is well-connected with 19 TARC bus stops along Browns Lane and quick access to interstates 64 and 264, making Louisville International Airport just a 10-mile drive away. Local events like the St. Matthews Farmers Market and the St. Matthew’s Potato Festival celebrate the area's agricultural heritage. Nearby hospitals, Baptist East and Norton Women's and Children's, provide extensive medical services.
