Crestwood is a home rule-class city in Oldham County, Kentucky, with 6,183 residents at the 2020 census. Its commercial property story is told by a handful of roads: KY 329 and its bypass, KY 22, and KY 146, which locals know as La Grange Road. This page covers what we can verify about where commercial property sits in Crestwood, which offices handle approvals, and what to check before you make or accept an offer. It is a starting point for your own diligence, not a market report, and it does not quote prices or vacancy figures. For the wider region, start with our Louisville commercial real estate overview.
Where commercial property is in Crestwood
KY 329 runs from US 42 in Prospect to KY 146 in Crestwood. Public highway records describe it reaching Crestwood as a two-lane road that passes residential developments and then moves into commercial areas. It has an interchange with I-71 at Exit 14, and a four-lane KY 329 Bypass, also called Veterans Memorial Parkway, lies entirely inside Crestwood.
KY 22 and KY 146 meet here too. KY 146 crosses a rail line where it meets KY 22, and the two routes overlap briefly. County planning agendas show commercially zoned parcels on Hwy. 329, including a 2026 parking-waiver request at 7200 Hwy. 329 on a parcel zoned C-4. Look at frontage, access points, and traffic parcel by parcel, because each road segment behaves differently.
What drives demand here
Crestwood sits just outside Louisville's northeast end, and its main roads feed straight to I-71. That access is the first thing most commercial users ask about, whether they are weighing a service business that depends on drive-by traffic or an office user who wants a shorter route to Louisville.
Public institutions also anchor daily routines. The South Oldham Library, a branch of the Oldham County Public Library, and Maples Park are in the city, and Oldham County Schools operates eleven public schools in the area. The 2024 population estimate is 6,493.
Larger plans matter as well. In November 2023 the county planning commission heard a request for a master plan and rezoning on about five hundred acres on Hwy. 329 and Dovefield Drive, known as Clore Station. We have not verified how that request ended, so check the current docket record before treating it as settled.
Zoning and permits in Crestwood
Land use in Crestwood runs through Oldham County Planning and Development Services, at 100 West Jefferson Street in La Grange. The Oldham County Planning and Zoning Commission hears Crestwood dockets, such as the Hwy. 329 items above. Because city and county roles can overlap on items like business licensing and signs, ask both offices which approvals your project needs.
Forms listed on the county planning page include:
- Pre-Application
- Site Plan Review
- Technical Review Committee (TRC)
- Sign Permits
- Record, Minor, or Consolidation Plat
County agendas label the highway commercial district C-4. The 2026 agenda calls it the Highway Business District and a 2023 agenda called it the Highway Service District, so read the current zoning ordinance for the permitted uses rather than relying on the name. Our commercial due diligence checklist puts zoning confirmation near the top for a reason.
Types of commercial property you will find
Highway-oriented commercial parcels are the clearest category, given the C-4 designation along Hwy. 329. Public listing sites have also shown Crestwood listings in the office and mixed-use categories. Land parcels, including larger tracts like the Hwy. 329 acreage above, come up in planning records.
Any property with two or more units, such as a duplex or small apartment building, is commercial for financing and valuation purposes. If you are weighing an income property here, read commercial real estate loans in Kentucky and how cap rates work before comparing deals. A single tenant on a long lease is a different kind of deal, so confirm the lease structure first.
Buying or selling a business that owns its building
Many small operators in a city like Crestwood own the real estate under their business. Selling one means pricing two things at once, the operating company and the building, and often deciding whether the buyer takes both or leases the building back. Our page on buying or selling a business with real estate explains how those pieces fit together. If you plan to buy another property after a sale, ask your CPA about timing early.

Frequently asked questions
Who approves a commercial project in Crestwood?
County agendas show Crestwood dockets going to the Oldham County Planning and Zoning Commission, with Oldham County Planning and Development Services handling the applications. Ask the county and the city which additional approvals apply to your use.
What does C-4 zoning mean on Hwy. 329?
County documents list C-4 as the highway commercial district, but the name has appeared as both Highway Business and Highway Service. The permitted uses are set by the ordinance, so read the current text for your parcel.
Is KY 329 the only commercial road in Crestwood?
No. KY 22 and KY 146 also run through Crestwood and overlap briefly, and the KY 329 Bypass is inside the city. Each has different access and traffic, so evaluate them separately.
Can I sell my business and the building together in Crestwood?
Yes, many deals are structured that way, though some owners sell the company and lease the building instead. The structure affects financing, taxes, and the buyer pool, so involve your attorney and CPA early.
