The largest neighborhood in Louisville, Portland is rich with tradition and evolution. The historic physical and cultural bones of this community have been highlighted and strengthened with bright new investment and activity, bringing new life to one of Louisville’s classic urban neighborhoods.

In less than a decade, a wave of new development in the area has revitalized Portland. Local companies and organizations like Heine Brothers Coffee, the University of Louisville, Farm to Fork Catering, Falls Art Foundry, and Squallis Puppeteers have relocated to Portland, bringing a diverse activation to the area. New restaurants and businesses like The Table, Comfy Cow, and Cup of Joy Cafe have opened and been embraced by the neighborhood.

These investments add to an already long list of classic neighborhood businesses like Shaheen’s Department Store  and Janes Brothers Hardware which have collectively served Portland for over 150 years. Other old Portland favorites continue to thrive, including Louisville Visual Art and Annie’s Pizza.
