A Variety of Louisville Apartments for Rent

If you?re looking for a city with traditions in sports, growth in business, ease in transportation and variety in local attractions, Louisville is the perfect place for your new apartment.

If you haven?t been to the Kentucky Derby yet, it?s a must-do once you move into your Louisville apartment. This famous thoroughbred horse race at Churchill Downs in Louisville started back in 1875 and is still one of the most popular sporting events in the country and the world. The horse race known as the Kentucky Derby has become an entire festival with approximately 70 other events, such as golf tournaments, steamboat races and parades.

Of course, you?ll find many other sporting events near your Louisville apartment besides horse racing. Residents support all kinds of sports including college basketball, college football, arena football and Triple A baseball. Golf is huge in Louisville, due largely to the fact that the PGA owns Valhalla Golf course in Louisville and hosts major golf events there.

Once you?re settled into your new Louisville apartment, you might enjoy going to some of the many museums in town. Visit the Kentucky Derby Museum, the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory and the Muhammad Ali Center to learn about the incredible athletes who play all the sports hosted in Louisville. When you tire of sports, there are plenty of other top-notch museums in Louisville, such as the Frazier International Museum, where you can admire works of art by Rembrandt, Picasso and others. For a bit of history, browse through the historical artifacts of Daniel Boone and Lewis and Clark at the Filson Historical Society.

Tourism is a big business in Louisville, but it?s not the only big business in town. Many corporations and large businesses call Louisville home, such as Humana, Kindred Healthcare and Yum! Brands, (owners of KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut), Amgen and more. Louisville is also the international air hub for UPS.

Wherever you rent an apartment in Louisville, you won?t have a problem getting around the city. Commuter traffic is lighter than in most cities, and the bus system runs through the city and beyond. You can take a trolley around downtown to enjoy the many everyday and not-so-everyday attractions in the area. Louisville is becoming quite the bicycle-friendly city, so that?s always a great option for jetting around town.
