Gleneagles is a growing suburban area with modern homes near retail

Located on Lexington ’s east side, Gleneagles is where you'll find a new construction home near established amenities. The area has been steadily developing since the early 2000s and continues to improve with the recent addition of a state-of-the-art middle school and an upgraded neighborhood park. It’s close to the Hamburg shopping area, so even though you’re on the city’s edge, you still have convenient access to restaurants and stores. Man o’ War Boulevard and Interstate 75 connect to other parts of the city, and Downtown Lexington and the University of Kentucky are 7 miles away.

Early 2000s homes with ongoing new construction

Most of the homes in Gleneagles are New Traditional builds with Craftsman influences. Ranch-style layouts are common, and you’ll also find larger, multi-story houses with finished basements or bonus rooms. The area began developing in the early 2000s, so homes have open-concept floor plans and modern finishes like granite countertops. New construction continues, with builders delivering two-story modern farmhouse and Craftsman-style homes with guest suites, loft spaces and attached two-car garages. Some properties back up to green space or walking trails, and some parts of the neighborhood retain a rural character. “In Lexington, it's really hard to find new construction,” says Melia Hord, a Realtor with Melia Realty who’s been a licensed agent for 12 years and has been actively involved in real estate since 2005. “That whole area is one of the fastest-growing and has the most sales for new homes, between there and Masterson Station.”

Highly rated public schools and a new middle school

Families are served by the Fayette County Public Schools district. Depending on where they live, kids might attend one of three elementary schools, including Garrett Morgan Elementary School, which gets an A-minus rating from Niche, and Athens-Chilesburg Elementary School, which gets an A. They can then go to Mary E. Britton Middle School, which opened in 2025 with state-of-the-art science labs. Older students attend the A-minus-rated Frederick Douglass High School, which has career-themed academies in health sciences, technology and professional services.

Getting around on Man o' War Boulevard and I-75

You’ll need a car to get around Gleneagles. Man o' War Boulevard and Polo Club Boulevard are the main thoroughfares. Downtown Lexington and the University of Kentucky are about 20 minutes away via Polo Club Boulevard and Winchester Road. “You have the ease of being right there on the interstate,” Hord says. I-75 leads directly to nearby cities like Georgetown and Richmond. Blue Grass Airport is 15 miles away.

Close to shopping and dining in Hamburg and Andover

Gleneagles is near the Hamburg shopping area, so you won’t have to go far to run errands. Costco and Cabela’s are just across Man o' War Boulevard, and the Hamburg Pavilion, which is home to stores like Target, Best Buy and Barnes & Noble, is close by. Most of the area’s restaurants are chains like Crumbl, Drake’s and Rafferty’s, but there are a few locally owned eateries in Hamburg and in nearby Andover. These include:

  • Malone’s, an upscale steakhouse known for prime beef and special-occasion dining
  • The Local Taco, a casual Tex-Mex spot that adds Southern flair to familiar favorites
  • Ramsey’s Diner, a Lexington staple serving Southern comfort food like meatloaf and fried chicken
  • Carson's Food & Drink, a popular restaurant with American fare and prohibition-era cocktails in an upscale setting
