Growing Lexington bedroom community on the edge of horse country
Greendale is turning into one of Lexington’s bedroom communities. “It’s got very easy access to the highway. If you’re commuting to Georgetown, Frankfort or need to get to the airport, it’s very easy. And the prices are a little bit lower on the northwest side of Lexington,” says Jennifer Sisson, a Realtor with Christie’s International Real Estate Bluegrass. The neighborhood sits between major commuter routes like Interstate 64 and Citation Boulevard, the latter of which was extended in 2015 and improved access to the area. This part of the city consists of modern subdivisions built within the past two decades and is poised to get additions like Fayette County’s first Publix grocery store. Greendale is also minutes from the Kentucky Horse Park, which the neighborhood connects to via the Legacy Trail. The 1,000-acre attraction puts many here close to a rich lineup of annual events honoring the region’s equestrian heritage. Sisson, however, stresses that the neighborhood’s convenient location is “the number one thing. That’s the strongest pull, I think.”
The Greendale neighborhood sits between the city of Lexington and rural horse country.
The average household income in Greendale is around $83,062.

New suburban homes in Greendale
Contemporary Traditional houses built between the early 2000s and 2010s make up Greendale’s main neighborhoods. In the Coventry subdivision, fences flank the main entrance road, which itself is bisected by a median filled with trees and professionally trimmed bushes. The houses sit close to each other along tree-lined streets and occupy lots no larger than a quarter-acre. Despite the compact lots, backyards still make enough room for games and other outdoor activities. “It is perfect if you have kids or pets,” says Martina Barksdale, spokeswoman for VisitLex, the city’s local convention and visitor's bureau. Single-family homes run from about $250,000 to $500,000, depending on size.

Shows and rodeos at Kentucky Horse Park
“There’s always something to do with horses on this side of town. You get to see a lot of jockeys, and it’s really cool,” says Jimmy Perez, manager at the Sedona Taphouse. The Horse Park hosts a variety of events ranging from markets and festivals to horse shows and rodeo competitions. One of its many horse events is the annual Battle in the Saddle in late August. The charity event challenges teams to pen groups of cattle as quickly as they can. The park’s other festivities include the Vintage Market Days of Lexington. The market draws art and antique collectors, and those looking for trendy clothing and housewares. In July, many fans of Breyer model horses come to the Horse Park and the nearby Clarion Hotel for BreyerFest. “The whole hotel we’re attached to becomes like a mall. You see tens of thousands of people walking through the halls,” Perez says.
Kentucky Horse Park hosts events year-round on it's vast 1,226 acre theme park near Greendale.
