Countryside views and rural charm in Lexington

Named after the historic Battle of Lexington that took place on its grounds, Lexington is a small community tucked into Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. This area offers residents a blend of rural charm, Amish culture and scenic countryside with proximity to city amenities. “Brickerville is a beautiful mountainous area in the northern part of the county,” says Darrell Coyle, Realtor with Charles & Associates Realty. “It’s very close to a little town called Lititz, which was voted “The Coolest Small Town in America” a few years back. This part of Lancaster County is more populated than the south and has a bit more going on.”

Rural residential streets lined with farmhouses and barns

Lexington is known for its bountiful farming and agriculture. As you drive through the area, you’ll see historic farmhouses and rustic barns surrounded by lush farmland. There are also plenty of residential neighborhoods, where you’ll find many homes built in the traditional Pennsylvania Dutch and Colonial styles. Colonial Revivals, bungalows, ranch homes and converted barns can all be spotted in Lexington. These houses are often perched on lots ranging from a half-acre to an acre with tidy, mature landscaping. In Lexington, you can get a two-bedroom brick ranch home for around $250,000 or a four-bedroom colonial for around $425,000. According to Coyle, inventory is low, and demand is high.
