Luxury living in east Lexington

Eight miles east of downtown Lexington, Greenbrier is one of the city’s most coveted communities. Anchored by the prestigious Greenbrier Golf and Country Club, the neighborhood has several gated communities where large single-family homes sit on multiacre lots with direct access to sports courts and other recreational amenities. “The community was very popular when it was first built in the 1970s,” says Agent Robin Owens with Kirkpatrick and Company, who has worked in Lexington for the last eight years. “It was kind of a rural area, but still very close to the city and it has a luxury 18-hole golf course.” Greenbrier's location along Winchester Road makes it easy for residents to get into the heart of Lexington, but they find most of what they need just outside the community, with one of the state’s biggest shopping centers, the Hamilton Pavilion, just 4 miles away.

Expansive lots in Greenbrier’s gated communities

Greenbrier has one of Lexington’s priciest housing markets, with the average home costing nearly $600,000 more than the average property within the Lexington metro area. Houses in Greenbrier often feature Cape Cod, Colonial Revival and new Traditional styles and prices can range from $750,000 to $1.3 million depending on age and size. In addition, most homes here are located within planned gated communities, which means residents should also plan for additional monthly HOA fees. Describing a typical Greenbrier subdivision, Owens says, “They're all basically on acre lots, so you have a lot of room around you, and those houses were built anywhere from the 1970s to the 2000s." In other subdivisions, like “The gated townhouse communities, those were built between 2000 and 2008 and cost a million dollars or more.” Ashford Oaks is just one of the neighborhood’s prominent gated communities and offers a mix of both pre-built homes and ready to build, vacant lots. Most of the gated communities here also feature additional amenities like walking paths and tennis, basketball or pickleball courts.

Greenbrier Golf and Country Club and the Brighton East Rail Trail

At Greenbrier Golf and Country Club, members can access an 18-hole golf course, a 19-acre fishing lake, a 6-lane swimming pool and a fitness facility. Other area recreation includes horseback riding at Holladay Hills Stable and hiking and biking along the Brighton East Rail Trail, an almost 4-mile mixed-use trail that starts at Deer Haven Park. “Brighton East is a former train track that they paved and turned into a trail,” explains Paul Hooper, who handles marketing and public relations for Lexington Parks and Recreation. “It cuts in toward downtown and crosses by another park, Pleasant Ridge, then goes all the way to Liberty Park. There are some smaller neighborhood trails that branch off of it, and it’s a decent distance and is really pretty and tree covered.” Hooper goes on to note that Deer Haven Park is currently an undeveloped green space, but that the parks department plans to expand it in the spring of 2025, adding recreational amenities like playgrounds and sports courts.
