A refined suburban lifestyle on the south end of Lexington
Lansdowne is an ideal choice for those searching for a balance between the comfort of a secluded suburban enclave and the convenience of living in a busy city center. Situated south of downtown Lexington and the University of Kentucky area, the neighborhood trades the dense streets of the center for more of the natural beauty that contributed to the city’s Horse Capital of the World nickname. "Lansdowne is an older neighborhood with lush landscaping and central to everything you could need," says Jeremy Perryman, Realtor with United Real Estate Lexington. Perryman has sold homes in Lexington and central Kentucky for more than 6 years.
Lansdowne streets are lined with spacious 1.5-story homes built with gabled roofs.
Lansdowne residents have benefit of city access, provided by Nicholasville Rd and New Circle Rd.

Mid-century homes with rancher and split-level floorplans make up many of the dwellings in Lansdowne, alongside a selection of condominiums and homes with colonial features. Brick exteriors, lengthy driveways and lightly updated interiors are common among properties. “Many of the neighborhoods within New Circle Road, the nearby beltway, feature similar style homes. People who live in the homes typically don’t move; they usually add on because they enjoy the location so much,” Perryman says. Condo prices start around $100,000, while single-family homes start at the $250,000s and can sell for as much as $950,000. A typical house in Lansdowne sells for about $469,000.
