About the Neighborhood
Living in Tuscany
Tuscany is what happens when a city grows east. Located in the Hamburg area of Lexington along Sir Barton Way near Man o' War Boulevard, Tuscany is a planned residential community built primarily in the 2000s and 2010s. The homes are modern. The floor plans make sense for the way people actually use their houses in 2026. And the surrounding infrastructure — schools, shopping, restaurants, highways — arrived at the same time as the rooftops, which means everything works together instead of being retrofitted after the fact.
If you have spent any time looking at older Lexington neighborhoods and found yourself thinking "I love the location but I wish the house were newer," Tuscany is likely your answer. The homes here have open floor plans, granite countertops, hardwood floors, and the kind of kitchen layouts that older homes require a $50,000 renovation to achieve. You are not buying a project. You are buying a home that is ready to live in the day you close.
Tuscany sits in the middle of Lexington's east-side growth corridor, the part of town that has seen the most commercial and residential development over the past two decades. The Hamburg Pavilion shopping center is minutes away. Frederick Douglass High School — the newest and most modern public high school in Fayette County — serves the area. I-75 access makes commuting to other parts of the Bluegrass region straightforward. For families who want modern construction, strong schools, and convenient retail without leaving Lexington's urban service boundary, Tuscany checks every box.
This is not a neighborhood for buyers who want historic character or walkable downtown access. Tuscany is for families who want a well-built home in a well-planned community with everything they need within a 10-minute drive. If that is your priority list, keep reading.

Neighborhood guide
Inside Tuscany
- Tuscany's homes reflect the construction standards and design preferences of the 2000s and 2010s — a significant step forward from the 1970s and 1980s housing stock that dominates many other Lexington neighborhoods. The difference is not just cosmetic. Building codes tightened, insulation improved, and floor plan design evolved to match how modern families actually use their homes.
- Architectural styles: New traditional and craftsman-influenced designs dominate the streetscape. Think covered front porches with tapered columns, stone and brick accents, shuttered windows, and attached two- or three-car garages. The aesthetic is polished and consistent — this is a planned community with design guidelines, not a patchwork of individual builder choices
Construction era: Primarily 2000s through 2010s, with some newer construction in expanded sections
Size range: 2,000 to 3,500+ square feet. This is significantly larger than what you find in Lexington's older neighborhoods. Four bedrooms and two-and-a-half to three-and-a-half bathrooms is the standard, not the exception. Many homes include a dedicated office, a bonus room, and a finished or finishable lower level
Interior finishes: Granite or quartz countertops, hardwood flooring on the main level, tile in bathrooms, stainless steel appliances, and open-concept kitchen-to-living-room layouts. These are the finishes that buyers in 2026 expect, and Tuscany homes deliver them as original features rather than renovations
Lot sizes: Typical for planned suburban development — most lots accommodate the home footprint plus a functional backyard. Lots are smaller than what you will find in the older Tates Creek corridor neighborhoods, but they are landscaped and maintained to a consistent standard
Price range: $350,000 to $600,000+, with the majority of homes trading between $400,000 and $550,000. The price reflects the size, age, finishes, and location. Compared to building new at today's construction costs, existing Tuscany homes often represent a better value - Because Tuscany homes are relatively new (15 to 25 years old at most), the major systems — roof, HVAC, water heater, windows — are either original and still within their expected lifespan or recently replaced. This is a meaningful financial advantage over buying in an older neighborhood where those systems may need immediate attention.
However, "newer" does not mean "maintenance-free." Homes in the 15- to 20-year age range are entering the window where:
HVAC systems may need replacement if original (most residential systems last 15 to 20 years)
Water heaters may be approaching end of life (10- to 15-year lifespan)
Exterior paint and caulking on trim and siding may need refreshing
Roofing should still be in good condition if architectural shingles were used at construction (25- to 30-year lifespan)
Budget for a thorough home inspection even though the homes look modern and well-maintained. The inspection will identify which systems are original and how much life they have left.
The open floor plans that are standard in Tuscany work well for families but have a tradeoff: less acoustic separation between rooms. The kitchen, living room, and dining area flow together, which is great for keeping an eye on kids or entertaining guests, but means you can hear the television from the kitchen and vice versa. If you work from home and need a quiet space, look for homes with a dedicated office on a different floor or in a finished lower level. - Tuscany may include community amenities such as a pool and clubhouse depending on the specific section — confirm the current amenities and access when evaluating specific properties. Planned communities from this era typically included shared recreation facilities for residents.
Beyond the immediate community:
Hamburg area parks serve Tuscany residents with playgrounds, walking paths, and open green space. The east side of Lexington has continued to add park amenities as the population has grown, and the infrastructure has largely kept pace with the rooftops.
Veterans Park is accessible within about 10 to 15 minutes and offers the most comprehensive public recreation facility in Lexington — sports fields, splash pad, trails, playgrounds, and open green space. It is a frequent destination for Tuscany families, especially those with young children.
The east side of Lexington also benefits from proximity to the surrounding rural landscape. You are close to the edge of Fayette County, which means horse farm scenery, country roads for cycling, and access to state parks and recreational areas in the surrounding counties. - This is where Tuscany's east-side location really pays off. The Hamburg Pavilion and surrounding commercial development have created one of the most complete retail and dining environments in Lexington.
Hamburg Pavilion is the primary shopping destination and includes:
Target, Best Buy, and Costco major retail anchors that handle the majority of household shopping needs
Trader Joe's the only Trader Joe's location in Lexington, and a genuine draw for the east side
Multiple restaurant options the Hamburg corridor has attracted a mix of national chains and locally owned restaurants that give residents variety without driving across town
Additional east-side retail: Beyond Hamburg Pavilion, the Man o' War and Sir Barton Way corridors have continued to add restaurants, coffee shops, and service businesses. The commercial infrastructure here is still growing, which means new options continue to open.
Grocery: Between Kroger, Costco, and Trader Joe's, Tuscany residents have three distinct grocery options within a short drive. This is better grocery access than many older neighborhoods in Lexington, where you may have a single Kroger as your primary option.
The dining and shopping convenience is one of Tuscany's strongest practical selling points. You can handle your entire weekly errands — grocery, household goods, pharmacy, hardware — without driving more than 10 minutes from your front door. - Tuscany's east-side location puts you farther from downtown than neighborhoods in the Tates Creek or Chevy Chase corridors, but the trade-off is direct highway access:
Downtown Lexington: 15 to 20 minutes via Man o' War to Nicholasville Road or New Circle Road, or via Winchester Road. The commute is manageable but not short — this is a suburban location, and the drive reflects that
I-75 access: Quick and direct. This is a major advantage for commuters who work outside of Lexington — in Georgetown, Richmond, or anywhere along the interstate corridor
Hamburg area employment: For residents who work on the east side of town (retail, healthcare, professional services), the commute may be measured in minutes rather than miles. The east side has become its own employment center
UK campus: 15 to 20 minutes via multiple routes
The honest assessment: if you work downtown and your commute time is your top priority, Tuscany may not be the right fit. But if you work on the east side, travel I-75 regularly, or value the ability to do all your shopping and errands near home without fighting cross-town traffic, the commute math works in Tuscany's favor. - Tuscany draws a specific buyer profile: families in their 30s and 40s who are making a move-up purchase and want modern construction without the uncertainty and timeline of building new.
You will find:
Move-up buyers who outgrew their starter home and want more space, more bedrooms, and a better school for their growing family. These buyers are typically purchasing their second or third home and know exactly what they want — which is why they land in Tuscany instead of a fixer-upper in an older neighborhood
Young families with school-age children who prioritize Frederick Douglass High School and the east-side school pipeline. The combination of a modern school in a modern neighborhood is a strong draw for parents who came from newer communities themselves
Relocating professionals who are moving to Lexington from other cities. Tuscany's planned-community feel is familiar and comfortable for buyers coming from suburban developments in other markets. The homes, the HOA, the nearby shopping — it all matches the template that relocating families expect
Higher-income households compared to the Lexington average. The $350K to $600K+ price range requires a household income that puts Tuscany buyers solidly in the upper-middle range for the market
Dual-income couples who split commutes — one may work downtown while the other works in Georgetown or on the east side, and Tuscany's location and highway access serve both directions
The neighborhood's age and character attract people who value convenience and practicality over historic charm. If your ideal Saturday involves walking to a farmers market and drinking coffee at a century-old cafe, this is not your neighborhood. If your ideal Saturday involves sleeping in, walking to the community pool with the kids, and picking up groceries at Trader Joe's on the way home, Tuscany is designed for exactly that. - Tuscany is a planned community, and planned communities from this era almost universally have a homeowners association. Typical HOA details for communities like Tuscany include:
Monthly dues: Estimated $30 to $75 per month, though this should be confirmed for the specific section you are considering. Dues may cover common area maintenance, entrance landscaping, community amenities (pool, clubhouse), and exterior maintenance standards
Architectural guidelines: Expect restrictions on exterior modifications — paint colors, fencing styles, landscaping changes, and additions typically require approval
Lawn maintenance standards: Minimum standards for yard upkeep, which keeps the neighborhood looking consistent but limits your freedom
Review the HOA documents carefully before making an offer. Specifically, ask for:
Current monthly or annual dues and any recent or planned increases
Reserve fund balance (indicates whether the HOA is financially healthy or underfunded)
Any pending special assessments
The CC&Rs (covenants, conditions, and restrictions) that govern what you can and cannot do with your property - Tuscany homes offer a compelling value argument against building new. Current new construction costs in the Lexington area run $175 to $250+ per square foot depending on finishes and builder. A 2,500-square-foot new build would cost $437,000 to $625,000+ before you account for the lot, landscaping, and the 6 to 12 months of construction time.
A comparable 2,500-square-foot existing home in Tuscany — already built, already landscaped, already in an established community with proven schools and retail — sells for $400,000 to $550,000. You save money, time, and the headaches that come with new construction management.
The trade-off is that you do not get to choose every finish and layout detail. But if you can live with someone else's granite color and kitchen tile, the math favors buying existing in Tuscany over building new nearby. - The east side of Lexington has been the city's primary growth direction for two decades, and there is no sign of that slowing down. New commercial development, road improvements, school construction (Frederick Douglass being the most prominent example), and continued residential building all point to sustained investment in this corridor.
For Tuscany homeowners, this growth trajectory supports long-term property values. As more people move to the east side, demand for existing homes in established communities like Tuscany increases. You benefit from the continued development around you — new restaurants, new retail, improved roads — without bearing any of the construction noise and disruption that comes with living in a community that is still being built. - Tuscany homes resell well because the buyer pool is large. The combination of modern construction, Fayette County schools, and suburban convenience appeals to the broadest segment of Lexington's home-buying market. When you are ready to sell, your pool of potential buyers includes relocating families, move-up buyers, and professionals — the three largest buyer categories in the Lexington market.
Schools
Schools in Tuscany
Tuscany's school pipeline includes one of the most exciting developments in Fayette County public education — Frederick Douglass High School, the newest high school in the district.
Squires Elementary School
Notable: Serves the Hamburg area and feeds into the east-side school pipeline. Confirm your specific elementary school assignment via the [FCPS SchoolSite Locator](https://www.fcps.net/zones) using your Tuscany address, as the east side has seen zone adjustments as the area's population has grown
Frederick Douglass High School
Opened: 2017
Notable: Frederick Douglass is the newest and most modern public high school in Lexington. The facility was purpose-built with current educational design principles — collaborative learning spaces, updated technology infrastructure throughout, modern athletic facilities, and an auditorium and performing arts space that rival private schools
Why it matters: When a high school is new, everything about it is intentional rather than inherited. The curriculum, the culture, the extracurricular programs — all of it was designed from scratch rather than evolved from decades of incremental changes. Frederick Douglass has built a strong identity quickly, with competitive academics and athletics and a student body that reflects the energy of the growing east side of Lexington
Athletics and extracurriculars: Full KHSAA athletic program. The school has been competitive across multiple sports since its opening, which is unusual for a new school. Band, theater, academic teams, and career and technical education pathways round out the offering

The New School Advantage
There is a real benefit to attending a school that was built in the 21st century versus one that was renovated in 1993 or 2005. The physical environment affects the educational experience. Frederick Douglass has:
Climate control that works consistently (not patched-together HVAC from multiple renovation cycles)
Technology infrastructure designed for modern teaching (not retrofitted wiring and Wi-Fi)
Athletic facilities that meet current safety and competition standards
Common spaces designed for collaboration, not converted hallways
For families who are comparing Tuscany to neighborhoods in older school zones, the Frederick Douglass facility is worth seeing in person. Schedule a school tour before you eliminate the east side from your search.
