About the Neighborhood
Living in Centerville–Nihizertown
Centerville-Nihizertown is one of Lexington's gateways to horse country — a vast, rural stretch along the eastern edge of the city where grazing horses and cattle dot rolling Bluegrass farmland. What makes it work is the balance: you get genuine country and acreage, but you're only five to ten minutes from the shopping and dining of the Hamburg area. Town and country, side by side.
This is a working agricultural landscape as much as a neighborhood — alongside the stables and horse farms, you'll find growers raising crops like corn and soybeans. It's the eastern edge of Fayette County, where Lexington gives way to the farmland the region is famous for. For buyers who want land and a rural setting without leaving the city's reach, it's a rare combination.

Neighborhood guide
Inside Centerville–Nihizertown
- Centerville-Nihizertown's roughly 280 homes sit on substantial rural parcels — the median lot is a full acre (around 43,560 square feet) — with single-family homes averaging around 2,517 square feet. Most date to the early 1970s and after. The appeal is space: real land and a country setting, on the eastern edge of Lexington rather than an hour away.
- Character: Rural and agricultural, with horse farms, cattle, stables, and crop fields defining the landscape. Homes here are spread across the farmland rather than packed into a subdivision — the setting is the draw.
Town and country: The trade-off most rural areas force — space versus convenience — barely applies here. You're on the edge of town, so the shopping, dining, and everyday essentials of the Hamburg area are only five to ten minutes away, with the rest of Lexington close behind.
