The Germantown neighborhood of Louisville, located just 3 miles south of downtown, was so named by the first German settlers who moved into the area in the late 1800s.

Germantown is now home to some of the most affordable apartment options in all of Louisville. Familial ties are strong in Germantown and many of the families that live there have been there for generations.

In recent years, Germantown has moved decidedly upscale as many people moved to the neighborhood because it is located so close to downtown and all of the interesting parts of Louisville. This neighborhood has its own characteristics, history and events to keep apartment residents happily engaged with the community.

Fans of old-school European architecture should definitely see the absolutely stunning St. Therese Catholic Church. Just gazing upon it will make you feel like you have been transported to 18th Century Salzburg, Germany. Germantown is still very in touch with its roots and each years hosts the Schnitzelburg World Dainty Championship. Dainty is a kind of game that is played with sticks instead of balls.

Living in a Germantown apartment affords a resident a life that very few in this country ever really see. Germantown apartments offer access to all the usual modern amenities (shopping, great restaurants) mixed in with a little bit of old Germanic flavor.
