The neighborhood boasts an urban ambiance, characterized by its diversity and ongoing development. Predominantly constructed around the 1900s, numerous historic buildings contribute to the area's charm. While many structures have undergone extensive renovations, presenting a nearly new appearance, some are in need of maintenance or are currently undergoing significant restoration.

At the heart of the neighborhood lies Shelby Park, named after Kentucky's inaugural governor, Isaac Shelby. This park directly abuts the house, with a charming cobblestone alley serving as a boundary between the backyard and the park. Shelby Park offers various amenities, including tennis courts, basketball facilities, a playground, a splash park, and a half-mile-long running/walking track.
