According to Family Realty in Louisville, Kentucky, Crestwood, originally known as Beard’s Station in the 1850s, is a charming city in Oldham County, just outside Louisville's northeast end. For much of its early history, Crestwood was primarily farmland. However, with the introduction of public water service and the construction of Interstate 71, the area began to grow more desirable in the 1960s. Housing development began, and by 1970, Crestwood was incorporated as a city. Continued growth through the 1980s brought new homes, schools, and commercial businesses to the area.
Today, Crestwood is a vibrant community with around 4,500 residents, offering numerous amenities such as restaurants, bars, shopping, entertainment, the South Oldham Library, and various parks. In 2017, the city opened The Maples Park, a 22-acre community park with trails, walking paths, playgrounds, and event space. Crestwood is also home to historic estates like the Waldeck Farm and the Yew Dell Garden.
The average cost of a home in Crestwood is around $307,000, with a variety of neighborhoods and subdivisions that make it a great place to call home.
