Suburban comfort close to downtown
Garden Springs provides its residents with suburban comfort, while still keeping them reasonably close to the downtown Lexington scene. “It’s a good place to live. It offers quick access to most places you want to be in Lexington,” says Scott Peace, the owner of Peace Homes, who’s made several sales in Garden Springs. “I think it’s really well located between the downtown, the hospitals and the university here. You can get to any of those places pretty quickly.” The neighborhood on the city’s west side is located about 3 miles from the downtown, which is home to the University of Kentucky, UK HealthCare facilities and sporting venues like Rupp Arena. “It’s near Harrodsburg Road, which has a lot of shops, restaurants and things of that nature,” says Towanda Lahor, a Realtor with Lifstyl Real Estate, who’s made several deals both north and south of the neighborhood. “It’s a very nice, older established neighborhood. Many of the residents have been there for 30-plus years." Harrodsburg Road — also known as U.S. Highway 68 — runs right along the neighborhood’s southeast boundary and provides a direct route into the downtown, passing through a commercial and health district. Formerly the site of the Turfland Mall, today the property is home to health care facilities like the University of Kentucky Surgery Center and a number of big-box retailers like The Home Depot and Big Lots. The home prices here are also considered more advantageous when compared with the surrounding neighborhoods. “Beyond its location, Garden Springs offers an affordable option for those looking for a home with character,” says Shelby B. Lancaster, Realtor with United Real Estate Lexington, who’s made some sales in the south end of the neighborhood.

Well-kept 1960s ranch-style homes
The residential areas in Garden Springs feature roads cutting through blocks lined with traditional ranch-style homes and the occasional split-level. Many of these homes date back to the 1960s and feature brick bases, on lots with enough space for mature trees. These trees also provide shade to residents strolling along the narrow sidewalks. “It’s a very nice, older established neighborhood. Many of the residents have been there for 30-plus years,” Lahor says. Peace himself adds: “There are a lot of houses here that are being redone, or have been redone.” Some of the homes also share streets with clusters of two-story brick buildings that house multiple apartment units. Price points here run between $200,000 and $300,000, with some exceeding that range depending on factors like size.

Local and chain options at the Garden Springs Shopping Center

The local options here include Dad’s Favorites Deli, known for the self-described “distinctively different Cheese Spreads” on every sandwich they make. For grocery needs, residents can go to Kroger located just outside of Garden Springs and west of New Circle Road.
