About the Neighborhood
Living in Loradale
Loradale is Kentucky horse country at its most quintessential — rolling pastures, black plank fences, and grazing horses define the landscape of this scenic country retreat northeast of Lexington. It's a small, peaceful community surrounded by some of the most beautiful farmland in the Bluegrass, for buyers who want genuine rural living within reach of the city.
This is a tiny, tightly held community — only around 82 homes — set among the horse farms that make this part of Fayette County famous. Most homes were built from the late 1970s on, and the appeal here has always been the same: space, quiet, and the kind of open Kentucky landscape that people travel from all over the world to see. If your idea of home includes room to breathe and a view of the pastures, Loradale delivers it.
