About the Neighborhood

Living in Shadeland

Shadeland is one of central Lexington's quiet luxuries — an upscale residential pocket of large homes on unusually generous lots, tucked between some of the city's best dining and shopping yet insulated from all of it. There are no businesses inside the neighborhood by design; it's purely residential, with mature landscaping and a settled, established feel just minutes from everything.
What sets Shadeland apart is space. Lots here are large — a median of roughly 24,000 square feet, better than half an acre — which is rare for a neighborhood this central. The homes are substantial too, averaging around 3,800 square feet, most built in the 1960s and well cared for since. It's the kind of place where you get real room and privacy without giving up a central address.

Inside Shadeland

  • Shadeland's defining feature is its lots.

Homes average roughly 3,800 square feet, most built in the 1960s, which means established construction, mature trees, and the kind of breathing room newer central neighborhoods can't offer.
