Nestled just 3 miles southeast of downtown Metro Louisville lies the beautiful Highlands Neighborhood of Tyler Park.
"The park" as it was called, was initially developed starting in 1873. The area was so remote and removed from the remainder of the city that it was not finalized until 1910 with the last subdivision being built. At that time the restrictions for the area were so that all houses developed were required to sell for over $8,000!
Tyler Park is located in the neighborhood and was designed by John Olmsted, the son of the famed Frederick Law Olmsted of NYC's Central Park and Cherokee Park which is located just a few short miles away. Castlewood Park is also located within the neighborhood offering lots of opportunities for recreation and fun on a Sunday afternoon. City Center Mall is located within the neighborhood boundaries and offers grocery shopping, a library, comedy club, an independent theater and a huge asian buffet!
Some other streets in the Tyler Park neighborhood are Barrett, Beachwood, Tyler Park Avenue and Castlewood. The area is considered one of the safest area's in Metro Louisville
What the Tyler Park Neighborhood lacks in size, it makes up for in spirit with a vibrant and active Neighborhood Association. With access to parks, dining, entertainment and the Bardstown Road Corridor Tyler Park does just about have it all!

"I love making home dreams come true"
The Bonnycastle Neighborhood is one of the original 12 Neighborhoods that make up the Highlands in Louisville Kentucky. The houses in BC range from small cottages, Arts and Crafts Bungalos all the up to multi-million dollar homes that set aside the beautiful Cherokee Park. One such abode in the BC is home to one of the most famous derby parties in Louisville, the Barnstable Brown Party. The night of the party the whole neighborhood is aflutter with excitement. Hundreds of onlookers stand outside the fence and watch dignitary after celebrity exit stretch limousines and scurry inside. One can hear the music and laughter up into the early morning hours. By noon the following day there is hardly a sign that such extravagance took place. The street is back to normal and people are walking pampered pooches down the same streets and children are riding their bikes to the park.
One night in the Bonnycastle Neighborhood I was having dinner with some friends at a local eatery and sitting next to us was........Carrot Top and Pamela Anderson Lee!!!! It's true...you never know what or who you may encounter in the Highlands of Louisville. The only sure thing is that it will never be dull!
This Friday July 25, will be the kick off date for what will become a new community resource in Metro Louisville. The Bags of Hope program is for anyone in need of clothes, shoes and personal care items. It will be from 11-2 on the 25th. This will take place at Park Duvalle Second floor classroom at 3015 Wilson Avenue. At the Good Neighbor Resources Health Fair there will also be employers there offering second chance employment opportunities.
But for the Grace of God go we!!! We all could use a hand up at some points in our lives.
If you would like the number of a contact person please call me at 551-4295.
