Part of an affluent group of Lexington neighborhoods
Lansdowne Shadeland East — or simply Shadeland East as its commonly known — is a Lexington neighborhood known for its spacious brick and stone homes and Ecton Park, which sits at the heart of the community. “The park is really nice. Back in the '70s, most people looking to buy had younger children and wanted to be there for the park activities. Shadeland East still has an active community,” says Donna Elder, an associate broker with Re/Max Creative Realty. At Ecton Park, youth play sports and the park hosts seasonal festivals like a free summer jazz concert series. Residents here can walk — or even drive golf carts — to several staples along Romany Road, including a local drugstore that serves up milkshakes and fountain sodas. Shadeland East is also within walking distance of schools like Cassidy Elementary and the private Christ the King Catholic School.

It’s very local,” says Whitney Pannell, the owner of Pannell Real Estate. Those looking for upscale comfort foods and cocktails can stop by the Tulip Bistro & Bar, which has an outdoor patio.
