Settle in Jeffersonville...................................

commonly referred to as "Jeff", Jeffersonville is located right across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky's downtown, but is a little slower paced.  Jeffersonville has what few other cities offer and that is a beautiful historic district located on the banks of the Ohio River with access to the river both physically and visually. 

Recent riverfront development with downtown retail and recreational features make Jeffersonville a special place.  Jeffersonville has several waterfront restaurants, restaurants located in the historic commercial district, offices,  retail shops, and is a great place to live.  Our Waterfront enhancements include the addition of recreation and public space at the beautiful Terrace Lawn incorporated with the historic Overlook.

Future Plans include opening the Big Four Bridge  as a pedestrian walkway connecting Jeffersonville to Downtown Louisville, the historic Quadrangle project has become the new city hall with commercial space, and the transformation of the former Carnegie Library into a historic museum and meeting facility.
