Audubon Park Homes for Sale

Audubon Park is located in Jefferson county, about 3.9 miles from downtown Louisville.  Audubon Park was developed residentially in the early 20th century on 230 acres of hilly pastureland.  The Audubon Park Realty Co. purchased the land in 1912, and named the neighborhood after wildlife painter John James Audubon, and named all but two of the 20 streets after birds.The city is known for its straight, tree lined streets and six small neighborhood parks. Its entrances are marked by large stone gateways. Two annual traditions are the spring Dogwood festival, and the fall Arts and Crafts festival. The city was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.  Most houses are traditional in design, with styles including Neo-Colonial, Dutch Colonial and Neo-Federal, though some Craftsman-style California Bungalows are present.
