Characteristics

Transportation

Lexington is very car friendly. The majority of homes for sale are a short car ride from the nearest highway, such as Yankee Division Hwy, and parking is generally easy. However, the public transit service in Lexington is not very frequent. Nevertheless, house owners benefit from approximately 10 bus lines, and bus stops are usually around the corner. Lexington is not especially well-suited for pedestrians because running common errands is occasionally difficult without a car. However, biking is convenient in this town.

Services

Primary schools are convenient to reach without needing to get in a vehicle from any location in Lexington. In contrast, high schools are not especially numerous and therefore may require a rather long pedestrian trip to get to. Besides public schools, there are private elementary and secondary schools. When it comes to food, a grocery store is generally accessible within a long pedestrian trip from most homes for sale in Lexington. In addition, those who like to dine in restaurants will have a good number of options, and there are also about 30 cafes in Lexington.

Character

Lexington offers a slower-paced atmosphere and will appeal to those who enjoy spending time outdoors. Most areas in this town are reasonably quiet, as there isn't a lot of street noise or city clamor - however some parts can be quite noisy, especially closer to the railway line or Yankee Division Hwy. Finally, green spaces, such as Quail Run and Justin/Bernard Conservation Land, are very well-located and there are over 200 of them close by for residents to unwind in, making it very easy to access them.
