Louisville’s small cities: Shively, St. Matthews, J-Town and more

Louisville and Jefferson County merged into one government, Louisville Metro, in 2003. But dozens of small cities inside the county kept their own governments. Shively, St. Matthews, Jeffersontown, Middletown, Anchorage, Indian Hills, and Prospect are all examples.

What that means for buyers

  • You’re still in Louisville Metro and Jefferson County. Your mailing address usually still says Louisville, KY, and county services still apply.
  • The city may run its own services, like police, trash pickup, roads, or code enforcement, and may charge its own property tax.
  • Schools don’t change. Small cities in Jefferson County are served by Jefferson County Public Schools, except Anchorage, which has its own K–8 district.
  • Rules can differ, such as short-term rental limits, permits, and fences.

Before you buy, I check the property’s city, taxes, and any local rules that affect your plans.

Who it fits

Lovers of historic homes, buyers near UofL, and investors, since the area has a mix of condos, multi-unit Victorians, and rentals.

Compared with nearby areas

Living there

St. Matthews is one of Louisville's most walkable, established close-in suburbs, about seven miles east of downtown.
