About Poplar Hills

Tucked into central Jefferson County about seven miles south of downtown Louisville, Poplar Hills is a small, quiet residential pocket with a classic suburban atmosphere. Once an independent municipality of fewer than 400 residents, it now blends seamlessly into the broader Louisville metro area. The neighborhood features modest mid-century homes, established lawns, and calm streets that give everyday living a relaxed, neighborhood feel.

Convenience is a major draw for anyone looking to settle in the area. Located right along Poplar Level Road and just south of the I-264 Watterson Expressway, Poplar Hills puts the rest of the city within easy reach. Daily commuters have quick access to downtown Louisville, the airport, nearby medical centers, and plenty of retail and dining options across the county.
