Highlands homes on Cherokee Rd in Louisville KYThe Highlands was originally nicknamed "New Hamburg" by its German residents. The streetcar line started extending down Bardstown Road in the late 1800’s and ran until 1947, which brought a boom of real estate development with it. This resulted in some of Louisville's most diverse residential architecture along the tree lined Highlands streets.  Ornate Victorian homes, Bungalows, Cotswold Cottage's and Craftsman styles are prevalent. Only minutes from downtown Louisville, KY The Highlands offers incredible convenience for those who work downtown or for students attending one of the many area schools.
