My wife and I are in our early 30’s, and we’ve lived in Clifton for 4 years. It’s the perfect mix for a quaint yet lively neighborhood. We love the location. We can walk/bike pretty much anywhere: downtown, waterfront, big four bridge, Frankfort Ave, Bardstown Rd, the highlands, etc. Amazing local restaurants and eclectic shops. People are friendly. Close to Cherokee park and good schools. Lots of things to do: hiking, biking, music festivals, etc. Great place for young professionals and starting a family. Pretty affordable cost of living too.
Clifton is a fabulous neighborhood! Lower Frankfort ave is one of the best little streets in Louisville. Houses are clean and well taken care of. It's a very walkable place. Very dog friendly and very kid friendly! Great restaurants and friendly people.
I have only lived in the Clifton Neighborhood for approximately a year and a half, but I can honestly say this neighborhood is top notch. The people that live in the area are friendly. It's a very diverse neighborhood in that there are latinos, caucasians, african-americans etc. Although, sometimes you might find a few outsiders that come around, police patrol all the time to secure the neighborhood. It's conveniently located near Frankfort avenue, a small, boutique-shop filled strip, that offers a plethora of stores to shop. When you enter the area, you feel the sense of community. One of my friends once said, as we were taking a walk, "I never knew about this part of town, seems legit." That's because it is. Clifton does have its downfalls like any neighborhood, but if I could change one thing, it would probably be the infrastructure. The roads can sometimes be a hassle to drive on. I would tell anyone coming to Louisville, visit Clifton, you won’t be disappointed.
