Living in Louisville | This City is MORE than Kentucky Derby

Hello All, Welcome to my channel!

Louisville is a great up and coming city with a population of over 600,000 residents. While they are known for the Kentucky Derby, Louisville slugger, and the bourbon trail; maybe they should be even better known as the city with economic potential and affordability in housing. While salaries are not very high in Louisville, it is more of a reflection of the lower cost of living here. Louisville’s median home price is still under $200,000 so owning a home in the area is a realistic goal. If you live here you can make it if you have a plan in place and execute it.

Unfortunately, Louisville has a high crime rate and the city does have areas where you probably don’t wanna be. The violent and property crime rates are both more than double the national average, which doesn’t reflect well on the area. There are some suburbs that have much lower crime rates if being in the city does make you uncomfortable. Check below in the description.

Politically, Kentucky is pretty conservative and the Louisville area is very liberal. If you are liberal, the local politics match what you are looking for and if you are conservative the state politics are probably more likely to agree with you. The counties surrounding the Louisville area are conservative though, so take that as you will.

They do get less sunshine, more rain, and more humidity than the average across the country. If you are particular about the weather, this area is not likely to meet your optimal desires. Louisville is not very diverse, so if diversity matters to you there are cities all over the south and midwest that are more diverse.

Love Louisville been here all my life. Its really what you make of it. Most people here dont think outside the box...and its not super diverse but its easy living. Cheap living. Yall can have Florida give me Kentucky all day long. It slowly gets better here. Education has gone down due to younger shitty teachers and poor parenting but its a good little city. Love it!

Louisville is one of the safest large cities in America. The news hypes up the crime.

I wish these novice suitors would stop describing what it’s like to live in our city. I grew up in the Highlands and it’s depressing how we’ve been portrayed. It used to be such a cool laid back neighborhood before we got invaded by tourists. The commentary here made me laugh, then I got pissed, our neighborhood is NOTHING trendy, it’s our home I could wear anyone out with Highlands history, but I’d rather us go back to being ourselves. Peopke need to put themselves in peoples’ shoes and see it from our point of view!

Did the actress Rachel Ashley come from here?

[arcaneknight]

where do you get the background clips you include in these videos?

I have lived in the suburbs of Louisville for 70 years. I went to the doctors and hospitals downtown all those years. There are museums and theaters there but I wont venture downtown ever again. The homeless and crime have taken over.

[JiggyGinJoints]

Yeah, tax is a problem. Always prefer mad Max to working together.

[KaLiGr]

Hey, Id like to know whether gays can live in Kentucky. Is louisville a welcoming place for gays and how is your attitude about those people. Would you respect me, if I live as a gay in Louisville???

[cosmicflowstudio]

Not sure where you got your data but it’s very inaccurate. Louisville has an extremely diverse population.

I escaped from Louisville in 1989 to go to graduate school in CommieFORNIA. BOTH were great then...over 30 years ago

[lex]

Moved outta there. It's not bad living there. Diversity is not that great. The surrounding areas starting to look bad and run down. Plus, there's not much to do.

[maddetox]

I moved out in the 90s, will always be home, but I will never ever live that again.
