About the Neighborhood
Living in West Lexington
West Lexington runs the widest range in the city — 1950s brick ranches, mid-century family streets, and 2000s custom builds, all inside New Circle Road with downtown four miles away and Keeneland practically next door. Whatever your budget, the west side has an answer.
This is Lexington's westward growth written in houses: the area between Harrodsburg Road and Old Frankfort Pike built out from the 1950s onward, which is why a five-minute drive can pass a ranch from 1955, a colonial from 1975, and a custom build from 2004. Median year built across the area: 1960 — but with single-family homes averaging a surprising 2,801 square feet, the west side quietly holds some of the city's most house-per-dollar.

Neighborhood guide
Inside West Lexington
- West side living is inside-the-loop living: New Circle Road wraps the neighborhood, downtown and the University of Kentucky are within four miles, and groceries and restaurants are scattered through the area rather than concentrated in one strip.
The communities each have their own feel — Westgate's established streets, The Colony's larger homes under mature trees, Cardinal Valley's approachable starter stock. That range is the west side's identity: almost every budget I work with finds something here. - Homes in the area: about 3,159.
Era: median year built 1960 — with builds running from the '50s to the 2000s.
Typical single-family size: around 2,801 square feet on median lots over 11,000 square feet — notably large for the price point.
Figures as-published by homes.com's Lexington local guide (extracted August 2026); housing stock, not asking prices. The live market is at the top of this page. - The west side's trump card: Keeneland — the Thoroughbred track that defines Lexington to the rest of the world — is minutes away. April and October race meets become part of your neighborhood calendar, not a special trip.
McConnell Springs Park adds 26 acres of springs, trails, and history inside the loop, and smaller neighborhood parks fill the gaps. - Harrodsburg Road, Versailles Road, and Old Frankfort Pike all thread the area, with New Circle Road connecting everything. Downtown and UK are a four-mile run — one of the shortest commutes of any established neighborhood group in the city.
The airport sits just past Keeneland, which frequent flyers learn to love quickly.
