The village of Eastwood is located about 5 miles from Middletown and roughly 15 miles from downtown Louisville. Three churches, a post office and a small restaurant can be found on what is called the Eastwood Cut-Off Road which forks from Shelbyville Road near the Fire Sation and re-connects with Shelbyville Road to the East near Flat Rock Road. Two garden nurseries, a bank, a printing business, a photo studio,a stove company, and a real estate office make up the small business operations of the village. A recreational center and playing field are obvious as one drives through Eastwood.
While Eastwood has remained a small community through the years, it expects to see significant growth in the future as developers become aware of and attracted to the beauty of the area and its idyllic setting for residential communities. The beautiful countryside with open pastures and rolling fields is convenient to all of Louisville because of the easy access from Highway 64 and the Gene Snyder Freeway. Eastwood is a one minute drive from Valhalla Golf Club, three minutes from Lake Forest and Polo Fields, five minutes from Long Run Park, and is home for Gardiner Park and Chestnut Glen residents. Ashmoor Woods, Locust Creek and Notting Hill are only minutes away to the East towards Simpsonville.
Eastwood residents understand that the growth of the area is inevitable. They want to manage its growth and assure that they have a clear voice in its development. They want to preserve the rural charm which they have known through the years.They want to make sure that development of the community respects the environment, and that new construction has architecture which is consistent with the “country” feeling which is obvious in the community.
This website has been established to allow the Eastwood Village to boast about its assets and its history, to facilitate a sense of community, to keep residents informed, to contribute to the area’s orderly development, and to allow residents in the village and in surrounding areas to take pride in this little village in Kentucky.
