There are glimpses of bygone times all around the inimitable city of La Grange

Quaint Charming Eclectic Laidback

La Grange is overflowing with small-town charm, and despite its population of just under 9,000, there are plenty of conveniences and amenities that one might expect from a city more than twice its size.

La Grange’s Main Street is lined with historic buildings of all styles, but it has one feature that other small towns don’t: there’s a mainline train track that runs right along Main Street through La Grange’s downtown, and it is always a spectacle. La Grange is also known for the smell of freshly roasted coffee that drifts over the town thanks to La Grange Coffee Roasters. Grab a brew, watch the train roll by, and explore the rest of the boutiques and restaurants in the area.

The surrounding residential area of La Grange is largely newer developments that are full of traditional homes and apartments of all sizes. Louisville is just 30 minutes away via I-71 if the city starts calling your name.
