Area Guide
Niche Reviews 
Two miles northwest of downtown, just south of the Ohio River, you'll find Portland, the largest neighborhood in Louisville. The close-knit community supports many locally-owned businesses, and easy access to the Shawnee Expressway connects residents to other areas of the city. Delve into the neighborhood's rich history at the Portland Museum. Historical architecture draws many residents to the area, where homes for rent keep locals right in the heart of the neighborhood. Escape city life in the wooded Portland Wharf Park, where locals fish, exercise on trails, and enjoy green space. The park aims to educate visitors on the area's past with interpretations of architectural remains of an area that flooded in 1937. Pull up a seat at the Table, a nonprofit farm-to-table cafe that operates on a pay-what-you-can system. Brighten your home with flowers from Victor Mathis Florist, a family-owned flower shop that's been around since 1896.
