Lansdowne offers suburban comfort and convenience in south Lexington
Lansdowne is a south Lexington community that has a leafy suburban feel close to the city's center. Developed primarily in the 1960s, the area feels established, with wide streets that curve past ranch-style and split-level houses on spacious lots. A neighborhood social club and an active community association add to the area’s close-knit feel. The community is bordered by Nicholasville Road and Tates Creek Road, putting it close to popular restaurants and shopping areas, and New Circle Road is nearby, providing easy connections to the rest of the city.
Ranch-style and split-level homes define much of the neighborhood
Most of the homes in Lansdowne are ranch-style, Cape Cod and split-level houses built in the 1960s, and that era shows in details like brick exteriors, hardwood floors and spacious lots with mature landscaping. Some have been updated over the years, while others might have midcentury features like interior wood paneling. “Lansdowne is an older neighborhood with lush landscaping,” says Jeremy Perryman, a Realtor with United Real Estate Lexington. “People who live in the homes typically don’t move; they usually add on because they enjoy the location so much.” Buyers can also find low-rise condo complexes near Tates Creek Road, and there are apartment complexes near New Circle and Nicholasville Roads.
Many ranch-style homes in Lansdowne are renovated with midcentury modern features.
