About the Neighborhood
Living in McConnell's Trace
McConnell's Trace is northwest Lexington's newer-construction answer — homes largely from the 2000s beside Masterson Station Park, with the Town Branch Trail bordering the whole neighborhood and an A-rated elementary school starting the school path. If you want newer bones without a new-build price, this is the corner of town to know.
The neighborhood takes its name from the McConnell family of Lexington's founding era, and its landmark makes the connection physical: Lewis Manor, an early-1800s rebuild of a post-Revolutionary War home that belonged to a Kentucky colonel and statesman, still stands on nearly two acres as the community's centerpiece. The subdivisions around it — McConnell's Trace, Spicewood, Marehaven — arrived in the 2000s, built with a bit more architectural personality than the era's norm.

Neighborhood guide
Inside McConnell's Trace
- This is one of the few Lexington neighborhoods where 2000s-era construction, a major park, and a rails-to-trails path all meet. The homes are newer — open layouts, attached garages, modern systems — and the setting works hard: Masterson Station Park is adjacent, with hundreds of acres of trails, ball fields, and equestrian activities.
The Town Branch Trail borders the entire neighborhood, so joggers and cyclists start from their own driveway. And Lewis Manor, the historic house at the community's heart, gives the neighborhood a landmark most 2000s subdivisions simply don't have. - Homes in the area: roughly 1,312 across McConnell's Trace, Spicewood, and Marehaven.
Era: median year built around 2003 — among the newest housing stock on this side of town.
Typical single-family size: about 1,572 square feet, with townhomes in the mix.
Lots: median around 5,227 square feet — compact, low-maintenance yards.
Area figures above are as-published by homes.com's Lexington local guide (extracted August 2026) and describe the housing stock, not asking prices. What's for sale right now, and the current median, is the live count at the top of this page. - Masterson Station Park is effectively the neighborhood's backyard — one of Lexington's largest parks, known citywide for its equestrian facilities, trails, and ball fields.
The Town Branch Trail runs along the neighborhood's border, connecting toward downtown for cyclists and runners. Between the two, outdoor life here needs no car. - Leestown Road carries you toward downtown in about fifteen minutes, and New Circle Road is minutes away for the rest of the city.
The northwest side keeps growing — distilleries, breweries, and the Town Branch corridor's development are all pulling energy this direction — and McConnell's Trace sits right on that arc.
