Homearama 2021: Norton Commons
Norton Commons In Focus
One of the main drivers in the popularity increase of Norton Commons has to deal with the ease of access due to “new urbanism.” Until recently, urbanism was an unfamiliar concept in most Louisville neighborhoods. However, the concept has gained traction and created a community full of local businesses and attractions. With a population of around 4,600, the neighborhood is long-removed from its days of being a tight-knit community with no streetlights, sidewalks, or even neighbors. Think about that, when have you ever been to Norton Commons and not had streetlights, let alone neighbors?
The area is said to only be 65% developed, with builders looking to fully develop the 600-acre development in order to house 10,000 residents in over 2,800 homes. The community also is home to many small, local businesses, including restaurants and salons. Norton Commons was developed with mixed-use development in mind, a once foreign concept that has now peaked interest from all across the country.
