Lakeview Estates, a lakefront community inside New Circle Road
In a city known for rolling green hills, Lakeview Estates offers a lifestyle centered around water. The neighborhood was built around two large reservoirs, Lake Fontaine and Lake Hickman, which were originally constructed in the late 1800s and early 1900s to supply water to Lexington. On any given day, the lakes are active with canoes, kayaks, sailboats and electric pontoon boats, and the surrounding paths are filled with walkers and runners. The neighborhood sits inside New Circle Road and is bordered by Richmond Road, providing easy access to downtown and other parts of Lexington.

Diverse housing options with many homes near the water
Housing in Lakeview Estates is a mix of single-family homes, townhouses, condos and apartments, many with lake views and private docks. “You’re close to downtown, but you still have a secluded area. The waterfront views and just living by a lake in Lexington is such a commodity,” says Jennifer Pullins-Seitz, a real estate associate with Bluegrass Sotheby’s International Realty. Most were built in the 1970s, though you can also find some newer properties. Single-family homes can come in a variety of styles, but ranch-style and Colonial Revival homes are most common. Townhouses usually have Shed-style architecture.

Recreation in Lakeview Estates centers around its reservoirs, Lake Fontaine and Lake Hickman. The lakes are private, so only residents can access them for fishing and boating. There are also trails around the lakes. “You see walkers, runners, bikers and everybody back there,” says Jack Sheroan, the director of marketing for the Landing at Lakewood Harbour, a luxury apartment complex in Lakeview Estates. “I’m a runner, and it’s my favorite area in Lexington to run.” Lakeview Park has a walking path through the woods and a playground. Nearby, the private Idle Hour Country Club's 18-hole golf course and tennis facilities are available to members.
