What we know about Clifton

Why Clifton homes are different.

Most intact early 20th century streetcar suburb in Louisville.

Wilson Way context: Clifton is one of Louisville's most walkable and historic neighborhoods, centered on Frankfort Avenue. Most homes were built between 1900 and 1930, including craftsman bungalows, four-squares, and American foursquares. Common projects: kitchen and bath remodels that respect the original character, second-story additions on the smaller homes, and full-home renovations for owners who want modern systems without losing the historic charm. We have completed 15+ projects in Clifton over the past 5 years. Permits: Louisville Metro Department of Codes & Regulations (Clifton is in Jefferson County). Local restaurants and shops along Frankfort Avenue mean many homeowners add outdoor living spaces and porches.

We have been building in Clifton for years. We know the permitting office, the inspectors, the local supply yards, and the trades. That means faster timelines, fewer surprises, and better outcomes for your project.
