Douglass Hills, located in eastern Jefferson County, combines peaceful suburban living with easy access to city conveniences. The area's history stretches back to 1813 when it was farmland, and later became the property of James J. Douglas from 1896 until 1917. In the 1970s, the land was developed into the residential community we know today.
Situated just 12 miles east of downtown Louisville with convenient access to Interstate 64, this 1.33-square-mile community offers a serene setting while keeping you connected to metropolitan amenities. The area features shopping centers, restaurants, and recreational spaces, with U.S. Route 60 (Shelbyville Road) along its northern boundary and Interstate 64 just half a mile south. The surrounding communities of Middletown, Jeffersontown, and Blue Ridge Manor provide additional shopping, dining, and employment options within a short drive.
