The Highlands has something for everyone. Walk down Bardstown Road to discover shops, restaurants and bars--and do plenty of people watching. Turn down an interesting street to admire the historical homes in a range of styles. The Highlands is edgy but family friendly. Like much of Louisville, there's a bit of a bohemian vibe.
