Sandersville is where Lexington is building right now — a northwest corner where new subdivisions are going up street by street, four miles from downtown. If you want a house nobody has lived in, with current finishes and a builder warranty, this is one of the only places inside the city where that's genuinely on offer.
The Dixie Cup water tower has marked this corner of Lexington since the late 1950s, back when the area was almost entirely industrial. Employers like Coca-Cola and Amazon still operate here — but the last several years flipped the story, with new residential subdivisions spreading along the area's northern edge. Median year built in Sandersville: 2022. That's not a typo; that's the whole pitch.
Sandersville living is new-neighborhood living: fresh sidewalks, young trees, garages that fit actual cars, and floor plans designed this decade.
The streets are quiet and the neighbors are largely people who, like you, chose new — first-owner pride runs high, and the communities are still forming their traditions. If you'd rather shape a neighborhood than inherit one, this is that opportunity.
Homes in the area: about 592 — and growing.
Era: median year built 2022, the newest of any Lexington neighborhood.
Typical single-family size: around 2,510 square feet, well above the national average.

Masterson Station Park — one of Lexington's largest parks — is effectively your back yard: hundreds of acres of open space, dog parks, ball fields, and walking paths.
Inside the subdivisions themselves, builders have laid out the sidewalks-and-shade-trees pattern, so the everyday walk is built in.
Georgetown Road and New Circle Road are the daily routes, with I-75 and I-64 close for anything farther. Downtown Lexington is about four miles — one of the shortest new-construction-to-downtown distances you'll find anywhere in the region.
For commuters toward Georgetown (including Toyota-corridor jobs), the position is hard to beat.

Schools in Sandersville
Assigned Schools
The typical path (ratings are Niche's, as reported by homes.com's guide): Coventry Oak Elementary, then Winburn Middle or Leestown Middle (B-plus, with a pre-engineering program) depending on address, then Bryan Station High School (B) with career-themed academies in engineering, medical arts, and information technology.
Also in reach: the STEAM Academy — an A-rated public magnet high school with lottery admission and project-based learning.
Very nearly — the area's median year built is 2022, and builders are still actively delivering homes. It's one of the only places inside Lexington where you can buy genuinely new at scale.
About four miles — roughly ten minutes. For new construction, that proximity is rare; most new builds in the region put you well outside the city.
Masterson Station Park is the headliner — one of Lexington's largest parks, with dog parks, ball fields, and walking paths. The new subdivisions also build in sidewalks throughout.
