New houses beside retail developments in east Lexington
People move to Gleneagles seeking a certain lifestyle: a brand-new home, a neighborhood park, highly rated public schools and proximity to countless major retailers. “You can do everything over there,” says VisitLex’s director of communications Martina Barksdale. “It’s a corporate part of the city.” By this, she means the neighborhood’s surrounded to the north and west by retail complexes, filled with big-box stores and a mix of local and chain restaurants. Densely populated, Gleneagles is primarily a residential community, featuring brand new houses for sale, as well as to-be-built options. At the south end of the community, Deer Haven Park is one of several open green spaces in the area and it also connects residents to the 2-mile Brighton Rail Trail. Adding to its appeal, families here belong to the Fayette County Public School District, which receives an A-minus rating from the educational review site, Niche.

Deer Haven Park, the Brighton Rail Trail and Monkey Joe’s
Gleneagles is home to Deer Haven Park, an open green space with access to the nearly 2-mile Brighton Rail Trail. “Currently, Deer Haven Park is pretty undeveloped,” says Paul Hooper, who does marketing and public relations for Lexington Parks & Recreation. “We’re in the process of going through this plan that will bring more amenities to it – playgrounds and sports courts.” Construction will begin in the spring of 2025. “Right now, it’s a big open green space next to the Brighton Rail Trail,” he says. “It also has an unpaved multiuse trail that goes in and out of the woods for hiking and mountain biking and it has maps for those interested.” He explains that the Brighton Rail Trail connects to other city parks, including Pleasant Ridge and Liberty Park, and offers both a paved path and an unpaved path that weaves in and out of the woods. For an indoor play option, parents can take their kids to Monkey Joe’s, a play space with inflatables and arcade games.
