New Albany, IN

New Albany sits across the Ohio River from Louisville, connected by I-64 and the Sherman Minton Bridge. Most traffic involves short commutes to Kentucky, though I-64 also carries long-distance travelers between Indianapolis and points east. The city serves Louisville-area residents seeking Indiana's lower cost of living while staying close to urban amenities. The restored Culbertson Mansion downtown showcases elaborate Victorian architecture from the city's 19th-century steamboat era.
