NORTON COMMONS
Norton Commons is Louisville’s first Traditional Neighborhood Development (“TND”). Planned TNDs are the cornerstone of the new urbanism movement, which promotes the creation and restoration of diverse, walkable and vibrant mixed-use communities assembled in an integrated fashion, resulting in a complete community. Norton Commons sits on almost 600 acres in northeast Jefferson County and west Oldham County and is currently home to more than 1800 residences, 100+ businesses, three schools, and dozens of parks, pools and green spaces. In 2019, it won the Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU) Charter Award, the preeminent prize for excellence for urban design that embodies and advances the principles of the Charter of the New Urbanism. In 2020 Norton Commons was named the “Best Mixed-Use, Single Family Community” at the Best in American Living™ Awards (BALA) by the National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB). Explore Norton Commons - it makes for a great day-long staycation!

LOCAL TIP
