About the Neighborhood
Living in Bell Court
Bell Court is one of Lexington's original suburbs — a quiet, tree-lined historic neighborhood tucked minutes from downtown. Walk its streets and you'll find carefully kept front yards, tall leafy trees, and an abundance of early-twentieth-century architecture, all just steps from some of the city's trendiest restaurants and shops. It's a rare combination: a genuinely historic neighborhood that still puts you in the middle of everything.
At the center of the neighborhood sits the Bell House — the original home here, built in 1845 and a prominent example of Kentucky Greek Revival architecture. Today it serves as an event space, surrounded by historic homes that are, in many cases, no less elaborate than the Bell House itself. Most of Bell Court's single-family homes went up in the early 1900s, and stepping onto these streets really does feel like stepping into an earlier century.

Neighborhood guide
Inside Bell Court
- Bell Court's homes date largely to the early twentieth century, with a median build year around 1920. These are character homes — many with ornate architectural detail — on the kind of established, tree-canopied lots that newer parts of the city simply can't replicate. The neighborhood holds about 225 homes, ranging from smaller historic cottages to substantial renovated residences.
- Architectural styles: Arts and Crafts, Victorian, and Classical Revival homes define Bell Court, many with original detail preserved or thoughtfully restored. The 1845 Greek Revival Bell House anchors the neighborhood's historic identity.
Range of homes and prices: Bell Court offers genuine variety. Smaller properties and newer-built townhouses can trade from roughly $170,000 to $350,000, while charmingly historic homes with renovated interiors — some up to about 3,500 square feet — run from roughly $400,000 to $800,000. The neighborhood's average value sits near $539,590, which makes it relatively upscale for central Lexington.
The setting: Bell Court is surrounded by some of Lexington's trendiest spots, along with condos and apartments, yet the neighborhood itself stays peaceful — birds and the hushed sounds of the city rather than traffic. It's walkable, central, and quiet all at once.
