Why Live in Lexington
Lexington is tucked in a pocket of northeast Ohio between Columbus and Cleveland, the state’s largest cities. However, this rustic community of 4,800 stands on its own, not overshadowed by its bigger brothers. The area is known for its well-rated school system and the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, which attracts thousands for its annual Indy car race. Lexington also has some of the best walleye fishing in the state, says local Realtor Peter Haring. That’s all without sacrificing its character. “It very much has a hometown feel,” says Haring, who’s the president of Haring Realty and has over 35 years of real estate experience. “There’s a lot of local restaurants and retailers. You walk in, and it’s the kind of place where people will know your name.” While there are exceptions on either side of the spectrum, many of Lexington’s homes were built between 1950 and 1980. Bungalows, colonials and ranch-style options make up the bulk of the options. Most lots are at least one-fifth of an acre, on quiet streets lined with sidewalks. “It’s very walkable,” Haring says. “You’ll see people out, kids riding bikes out in the street. People get out, and it’s a way people connect in Lexington.”
