Bluebird Luxury Lofts apartment complex in Jeffersontown
Summary
A 161-unit, three-building, four-story apartment complex proposed on 5.45 acres at Watterson Trail and Bluebird Lane. Supporters say J-Town desperately needs housing and the site has been zoned multifamily since 1979; opponents worry about traffic, emergency access to the nursing home, neighborhood character, and a possible unmarked historic cemetery. The commission's favorable recommendation now goes to the Jeffersontown City Council for the final decision.
