Greenbrier is a golf course community with spacious custom homes
Greenbrier is a peaceful golf course community on the eastern edge of Lexington. The neighborhood developed around the private Greenbrier Golf & Country Club, which was founded in 1971 and is still a big part of the area's identity. Several subdivisions make up the neighborhood, including gated communities with newly built custom homes and older properties with fairway views. Though the neighborhood feels removed from the city’s hustle and bustle, it’s close to the Hamburg Pavilion shopping area, and Downtown Lexington is only 8 miles away.
Large homes ranging from 1970s ranch-styles to new custom builds
Spacious lots and custom construction define the housing in Greenbrier, which spans from 1970s builds to new construction. Ranch-style homes make up most of the older properties, many with brick exteriors, basements and views of the fairways. “The community was very popular when it was first built in the 1970s,” says Robin Owens, a Realtor with Kirkpatrick and Co. “They're all basically on acre lots, so you have a lot of room around you.” Newer construction is mostly custom homes with Craftsman-influenced designs. Subdivisions like Ashford Oaks and The Reserve at Greenbrier are newer, gated communities in the area.
