Louisville is pretty typical midwestern river town. It has a lot to offer - great restaurants, university, arts, culture, low cost of housing/living, easy to get around.
It does have a typical "big city" crime problem, but frankly if you are not involved in the drug trade you have little to worry about.
Kentucky does have a state tax (as does Indiana across the river), but living in domicile makes life a lot simpler. You can easily make back what you pay in taxes by working a little overtime, which would be a LOT harder if you commute.
If you stay in Jefferson County (Louisville Metro) then the east and north-east sides of town are where you want to be.
West and South sides are not generally desirable.
I have found the "locals" to be friendly and welcoming to outsiders like me. Louisville is very different (i.e. not as backwards) as the rest of the state, no offense intended.
My wife, kids and I are very happy here

I am from the area, moved back when I got the job, but just left again. It is what you make of it.
