About Riverwood

Riverwood is a quiet, tree-canopied enclave of around 500 residents tucked into Louisville's scenic East End. Developed in the 1960s, this small incorporated community is bordered on most sides by Indian Hills, offering winding streets lined with handsome homes on generous, wooded lots. Even with its secluded residential feel, the neighborhood connects easily to the wider metro, so reaching downtown Louisville or heading out for groceries takes only a few minutes.

One of the area's biggest highlights is having historic Locust Grove right at the edge of the neighborhood, providing open green space alongside the nearby Ohio River corridor. Mature trees, gentle hills, and local creeks give the entire pocket a relaxed, park-like character. For everyday needs, residents are just a quick drive from the shops, restaurants, and schools along Brownsboro Road and Frankfort Avenue.
