About St. Matthews

St. Matthews is an inner suburb of Louisville in Jefferson County. It has deep settlement history, but modern St. Matthews is best known for shopping, schools, and dense suburban access. The area includes major retail around Shelbyville Road and one of Kentucky's largest malls, while local institutions include Trinity High School, Waggener High School, and St. Matthews Elementary. It feels busy, established, and highly useful: less like a residential bedroom suburb and more like one of Louisville's everyday commercial and residential centers.
