Southeast Scott County
Rural Neighborhood in Georgetown, Kentucky
Scott County 40324
Country living with a slice of suburban homes
Southeast Scott County begins on the outskirts of Georgetown, where homebuyers will find subdivisions filled with contemporary Traditional, Colonial Revival and Craftsman style homes on small lots, no larger than a quarter acre. These homes make up the bulk of the sales in Southeast Scott County and costs mostly range from the upper $300,000s to the upper $400,000s. On the farmland beyond Georgetown’s city limits, ranch-style houses and prominent Colonial Revivals with Greek and Georgian touches sit on multi-acre lots surrounded by vast stretches of fencing. This part of the county will maintain its peaceful setting due to environmental measures limiting development. Homes here have footprints of several thousand square feet and can cost between $800,000 and $1.5 million, depending on size and acreage. Many plots of land here are up for sale, too, and will run between $250,000 and $500,000.

Tasting apple ciders and treats at Evans Orchard
Evans Orchard is the sole cider mill in this part of the state and it sells its pressed beverages in gallon jugs. The farm’s fruits include Honeycrisp and Fuji apples, Asian pears and blackberries. The establishment also has a cafe and store selling treats like apple pies, apple cider doughnuts and candy apples. For those looking to enjoy drinks and warm slices of pizza in a casual atmosphere can go to FatKats Pizzeria & Restaurant. While Golden’s Pub & Deli is a local watering hole that’s easy to spot with its small jockey statues flanking its entrance. Or for drinks near the Toyota plant, craft beer enthusiasts can sample the many selections at Country Boy Brewing. The city of Georgetown offers even more dining options plus chain stores like Kroger and Walmart. “I have all the convenience that I could ever need. It’s not super busy like Lexington, but all the conveniences are right there in the downtown, and Lexington is about a short 20 minutes away,” says Dylan Marson, communications manager for Georgetown/Scott County Tourism.

Farm playground, horseriding and the Cherry Blossom Golf Club
The Evans Orchard farm is usually open between May and December and is a popular local attraction. Its play area features climbable multi-colored tractor tires and tin-metal slides. While other activities include a petting zoo, friendly competitions using hand pitcher pumps and tractor-pulled tours of the grounds. Living in the middle of horse country also means equestrian activities. For example, Scott County borders the Kentucky Horse Park, a regional destination that offers programs like youth riding camps. The 12-mile Legacy Trail also goes through the horse park, providing avid cyclists with a scenic route to/from Lexington. Other nearby recreational amenities include the Cherry Blossom Golf Club, a public 18-hole and championship-caliber course that’s consistently named one of the best grounds in the state.

Served by several strong Scott County Schools
Several public schools serve the area, but identifying the exact campus per household depends on location and needs. Here students may attend Eastern Elementary School, which receives a B from ratings site Niche. From there, students may then go on to Royal Spring Middle or Scott County Middle School, which earn B and B-plus grades, respectively, from Niche. Finally, students may finish their secondary education at Scott County High School, which receives a B grade from Niche. Scott County High’s recent successes include its football team's 2023 district championship. Scott County Schools’ Phoenix Horizon Community is an alternative school for students in grades six through twelve and earns a C-minus rating from Niche. For higher learning opportunities, the Bluegrass Community and Technical College also has one of its campuses here.

Fall attractions during Harvest Festival
Evans Orchard hosts several events throughout the year, including the annual Harvest Festival. The event runs from September through November, and invites visitors to pick pumpkins and venture into their corn maze. Other large-scale events, like the Festival of the Horse, takes place in Georgetown and spans three days each September. Attended by well over 20,000 people, festivalgoers can browse the event's many vendors and enjoy food, beer, music and activities celebrating the region’s rich equestrian culture.

U.S. 460 connection to downtown Georgetown and Paris
Due to its rural location no public transit buses serve this area. However, residents can take U.S. Highway 460 through the many acres of farmland to reach downtown Georgetown, about 5 miles west. U.S. 460 — the Paris Pike — also goes toward Paris about 13 miles to the east. Other area highways include Interstate 75, which provides a route to Cincinnati about 72 miles to the north. The Georgetown-Scott County Regional Airport handles general aviation, however, most travelers looking to fly out of the state head to the Blue Grass Airport, about 17 miles south. The Georgetown Community Hospital addresses medical needs and anchors a campus with several specialist practices.Important to know
