What makes Beaumont a popular place to call home

On warm evenings, the lawn of the Moondance Amphitheater in Beaumont fills with blankets and chairs as the community gathers for outdoor concerts ranging from bluegrass to jazz. The venue anchors this west Lexington suburb, but it’s not the neighborhood’s main attraction. Top-rated schools, large homes and quick access to commuter routes like New Circle Road are more likely to attract buyers, but Beaumont’s green spaces, restaurants and community events make residents want to stick around.

What home prices and HOA fees to expect in Beaumont

The median home sale price in Beaumont is in the upper $600,000s, above Lexington’s overall median and that of nearby neighborhoods like Harrods Hill, Palomar and Garden Springs. Home prices generally range from the lower $400,000s to the lower $900,000s, depending on the subdivision. Townhouses and condos can cost between the upper $400,000s and the upper $600,000s. Homeowners also have to pay annual HOA fees of around $380, which cover grounds maintenance.

Colonial-inspired homes with large footprints

Beaumont’s single-family homes are spacious, averaging around 3,800 square feet and having a median lot size of a quarter of an acre. “Beaumont is known for being looked after nicely,” says Joy Murphy, a Realtor with United Real Estate Lexington. “It's really just so pretty there.” The neighborhood is divided into several subdivisions, but most houses typically have colonial-inspired New Traditional designs, and ranch-style homes and custom builds are part of the mix. Townhouses, condos and apartment complexes provide more options for buyers and renters. “Housing in Beaumont is still very diverse. If you want to rent, there are apartments. First-time homebuyers and small families can choose from townhouses or two-bedroom singles, but there are also estates that sell for up to $2 million,” says Paul Chartier, a Realtor with The Agency.

Kids can go to top-rated schools like Rosa Parks Elementary

Families are served by the Fayette County Public Schools district. Kids can start at Rosa Parks Elementary School, which gets an A rating from Niche and is a 2021 National Blue Ribbon School. “Rosa Parks Elementary is so highly rated that Beaumont often pops up first when people are looking to move to the area,” says Chartier. Older students can attend Beaumont Middle School and Paul Laurence Dunbar High School, which also get A ratings. Dunbar High is home to the Math, Science and Technology Center, a competitive STEM magnet program that draws applicants from across the city.
