The Oxbow sits on East Main Street in the center of downtown New Albany, two blocks from the Ohio River and surrounded by the restaurants, shops, and parks that make this neighborhood so walkable. For the thousands of people who work at Southern Indiana's largest employment hub, we're also well positioned as apartments near River Ridge Commerce Center, roughly fifteen miles east via I-265. It's an address where you can leave the car parked all weekend and still reach everything you need, then enjoy a straightforward commute on Monday. Below you'll find the places residents ask about most, along with directions to our door.
Within a Few Blocks
Step out the front door and downtown is already underway. Agave & Rye is on the same block of East Main. The Exchange and Floyd County Brewing are a few minutes west, and New Albany Tavern, The Fair, and True North Coffee House sit one street over on East Market. Board and You Bistro & Wine Bar is a short walk up Pearl Street. The New Albany Farmers Market runs Saturday mornings at 202 East Market, about two minutes on foot. Bicentennial Park is three blocks north at Spring and Pearl, with free concerts on Friday evenings in the warmer months and a full light display at Christmas. For everyday groceries, Seeds and Greens Natural Market is on West First Street. And the Scribner House, the oldest home in New Albany, is just down the block at 110 East Main.
The Riverfront
Two blocks south of the building, the Ohio River Greenway runs along the water for walking, running, and biking. It connects to New Albany's Riverfront Park, where you'll find the amphitheater, a playground, and a skate park beneath the Sherman Minton Bridge. Summer concerts happen here, close enough that you can walk down after dinner. Follow the Greenway east and you reach Origin Park in Clarksville, about two miles away, where new trails keep opening as the park takes shape.
Major Employers & Education
River Ridge Commerce Center in Jeffersonville anchors the region's job growth and is a direct drive east. Closer to home, Baptist Health Floyd sits about a mile and a half north on State Street, and healthcare workers considering apartments near Norton Healthcare will find Norton's Clarksville facilities a short drive east and its Louisville hospitals just across the bridge. Students and faculty searching for apartments near Indiana University Southeast will find the campus about four miles north on Grant Line Road — close enough to head home between classes.
Entertainment & Attractions
Downtown New Albany fills a weekend on its own, but Louisville is right there when you want it. I-64 crosses the Sherman Minton Bridge a mile from your door and puts you in downtown Louisville in about ten minutes, which makes The Oxbow a convenient choice for anyone considering apartments near downtown Louisville. Slugger Field, the Kentucky Center, Waterfront Park, Museum Row on Main, and Fourth Street Live are all a short drive from your parking space.
Transportation & Connectivity
Direct access to Interstate 64 and State Street keeps you connected across Southern Indiana and the greater Louisville area, with I-265 running east toward Jeffersonville and River Ridge. Wherever you're headed — work, class, or a weekend out — you'll be starting from a genuinely well-connected corner of downtown.
