Characteristics

Transportation

The car is very often the favored transportation option in Lexington. It is very convenient to park, and many homes for sale are a short drive from the nearest highway, such as Yankee Division Hwy. However, traveling by transit can be challenging in this community due to the infrequent service. Thankfully, house owners are served by approximately 10 bus lines, and bus stops are not very far from most properties. Lexington is rather cycling-friendly. A majority of the homes for sale in this community are located in places that are not particularly well-suited for pedestrians as few daily errands can be run without needing a vehicle.
