About Southland

Southland is less one neighborhood than a street and the neighborhoods around it. Southland Drive runs from Nicholasville Road on its southeast end to Rosemont Garden on its northwest end, and every block of it is in the 40503 zip code. The shops, restaurants and services are on the street itself, and residential streets branch off on both sides. Seven registered neighborhood associations have a boundary on Southland Drive or within about a tenth of a mile of it, and they are listed below. Laid over the top of them is the Southland Association, a community association for the whole corridor rather than for one subdivision. It is the group that puts on the Southland Street Fair every year. Southland Drive and the neighborhoods along it collect trash on Monday. The corridor is in council district 10, and Southern Heights is the one neighborhood on this page in district 3.
