Joyland Homes for Sale

Joyland is a Lexington neighborhood that features a mix of mid-20th century ranch-style homes and two-story contemporary Traditional builds. Some ranch-style houses showcase distinct limestone exteriors. Home sizes range from nearly 1,000 to about 2,000 square feet, and lots measure about a quarter-acre, with some larger plots available on the outskirts. With wide streets and narrow paths, the neighborhood is known for its walkability. The centrally located Mary Todd Park offers a playground, baseball fields, basketball courts and open fields where dogs often play. The stream that runs through the park has been enhanced by a recent tree-planting effort. Joyland borders the Lexington Country Club and its 18-hole golf course. Equestrian facilities like the Thoroughbred Center are also nearby. The neighborhood lacks major restaurants and retailers, but Paris Pike, home to a Waffle House and other amenities, is minutes away. Other nearby dining options include the Bluegrass Bistro at the Marriott Lexington Griffin Gate Golf Resort & Spa, Sedona Taphouse and Tachibana Japanese Restaurant. For groceries, Walmart and Aldi are both nearby. Joyland hosts several houses of worship, including the Heritage Assembly of God Church, which plans community events. Lextran bus stops and major commuter routes like U.S. Highways 27 and 68, Interstate 64 and New Circle Road keep residents connected to the rest of the city. Downtown Lexington is about 4 miles away, and the Blue Grass Airport is within easy reach. Schools in Joyland include Mary Todd Elementary, Winburn Middle and Bryan Station High School, all of which have solid Niche ratings and offer various extracurricular activities.
