According to Family Realty in Louisville, Kentucky, the history of Crescent Hill dates back to 1817 when the original road, which later became the Louisville-Lexington Turnpike, was established—now known as Frankfort Avenue. In 1853, a 39-acre fairground was built, hosting state and national expositions for 20 years. By 1855, St. Joseph's Orphanage relocated to Crescent Hill, occupying the old fairgrounds.
Located east of downtown Louisville, Crescent Hill offers a blend of historic homes and modern apartment communities. Frankfort Avenue runs right through the neighborhood, providing residents with a wide range of local restaurants, bars, coffee shops, boutiques, and galleries, making it a vibrant and convenient place to live.
