Communities and Neighborhoods in Lexington KY

Fayette County consists of 285.5 square miles, mostly gently rolling plateau, in the center of the inner Bluegrass Region. The area is noted for its beauty, fertile soil, excellent pastureland, and horse and stock farms. Bluegrass lives off of the limestone beneath the soil's surface, playing a major role in the area's scenic beauty and in the development of champion horses. Lexington is in the transition area between a humid continental climate and a humid subtropical climate, where summers are hot and humid, and winters are moderately cold with mild periods.

From its vibrant downtown that features much-needed infill projects to its famed horse farms, the city prides itself in featuring an urban growth boundary that includes greenbelts and strict zoning definitions. This has been done to not only protect the Bluegrass landscape from further sprawling development. Some of the neighborhoods in Lexington are:

Ashland, Chevy Chase, Hartland, Andover, Fairway, Lansdowne, Lake View, Firebrook, Greenbrier, Clay, Island, and Tahoma Terrace.
