Seven miles east of downtown Lexington
Gleneagles is a car-dependent neighborhood 7 miles east of downtown Lexington. It has a Lextran bus stop at Polo Club and Man o’ War, which provides a 40-minute route into downtown. The neighborhood’s nearest medical center is Baptist Health Hamburg, a mile north. The Blue Grass Airport is 15 miles west.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.

Across Interstate 75, Hamburg Pavilion houses major retailers like Target, PetSmart, Best Buy and Barnes & Noble and has a Regal cinema with reclining seats and IMAX movies.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
