Edit
Butchertown, immediately east of downtown Louisville, gets its name from the booming meat industry that started in the 1800s. Today, the mixed-use neighborhood supports both industry and residential areas, thanks to locals pushing for residential preservation in the 1960s.
Housing ranges from preserved historical homes to newer residential developments, including apartments for rent, with three core residential areas set amid the industrial and commercial blocks. While home styles vary, most use wood frame and red brick construction, creating a cohesive, distinct look.
Grab your skateboard and head to the Dave Armstrong Extreme Park, known as one of the best skate parks in the nation. Connect with Butchertown history at the Thomas Edison House Museum, where historians believe Thomas Edison rented a room after the Civil War. When you're ready to refuel, head to Butchertown Grocery for simple dishes inspired by the neighborhood's history.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
