Beaumont: Lexington’s Premier Master-Planned Community

Developed starting in the early 1990s, this master-planned community of over 1,200 homes offers modern suburban living at its finest — with top-rated schools, extensive walking trails, integrated shopping and dining, and a strong sense of community that keeps families coming back generation after generation.

What Makes Beaumont Special
Master-Planned Design
The Beaumont Residential Association encompasses eleven connected subdivisions, all linked by over 105,000 square feet of scenic asphalt walking trails bordered with traditional plank fencing. Spacious lots, professional landscaping, and tree-lined streets create a park-like atmosphere throughout the entire community. Homes are set far back from streets with generous front lawns — perfect for families.
Beaumont Centre Shopping & Dining
One of Beaumont’s biggest advantages is having a fully integrated retail and office park right in the neighborhood. Beaumont Centre puts dining, shopping, and services within walking distance. Enjoy upscale fare at Azur Restaurant & Patio, southern comfort food at J. Render’s Southern Table & Bar, hand-crafted burgers at BRU Burger Bar, or farm-to-table brunch at Beau’s Cafe. With options like Crust Pizzeria, Sedona Taphouse, and Ford’s Garage, you’ll never run out of places to eat.
Moondance Amphitheater & Community Events
Beaumont’s outdoor amphitheater hosts public concerts, community movie nights, and local festivals throughout the year. Residents can walk from their homes to enjoy live entertainment on warm evenings — a perk that few Lexington neighborhoods can match.
Parks & Recreation
Green space is woven into Beaumont’s DNA. Beaumont Preserve offers walking trails through fields and forested areas. Cardinal Run Park South provides baseball and softball facilities. Harrods Hill Park features sports fields, playgrounds, and additional walking paths. The newly built YMCA facility gives residents access to comprehensive fitness and recreation programs. And Keeneland Racetrack is just over 3 miles away for world-class horse racing.
Beaumont Schools
Beaumont is zoned for some of Fayette County’s highest-rated public schools:
- Rosa Parks Elementary School — Niche Grade: A
- Beaumont Middle School — Niche Grade: A
- Paul Laurence Dunbar High School — Niche Grade: A
Every school serving Beaumont earns an “A” rating. For families, this is one of the strongest school zones in all of Lexington.
Living in Beaumont
Beaumont offers the best of both worlds: suburban comfort with easy access to everything Lexington has to offer. Downtown is just 4 miles away via Harrodsburg Road, and the rolling horse farms of the Bluegrass are right outside your back door.
The community is known for its safety — crime rates are among the lowest in Lexington — and its family-friendly atmosphere. Neighbors know each other, kids play outside, and the active residential association keeps common areas beautifully maintained. Whether you’re walking the trails, grabbing dinner at Beaumont Centre, or catching a show at the Moondance Amphitheater, there’s always something to enjoy.
