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.
Landsdown-Shadeland East homes were mostly constructed in the 1970s.

Community meetup point at Ecton Park
Ecton Park is this community’s green space, providing residents with convenient access to several outdoor amenities. Children enjoy playing on the bark-covered playground while parents look on from nearby benches. The park also hosts youth baseball games and provides courts for friendly pickup games of basketball and tennis. The neighborhood is also adjacent to the Arboretum State Botanical Garden of Kentucky, where visitors can explore this 100-acre park and its multiple horticultural gardens and walking paths. The arboretum is especially picturesque during autumn when the seasonal foliage goes on full display. One of the park’s main sections is called the Walk Across Kentucky, where nature lovers can walk a 2-mile path and observe thousands of native plants from the state’s distinct regions. The Bluegrass Region, for example, showcases trees like the blue ash, sugar maple and Ohio buckeye. Nearby, golfers enjoy getting in rounds on the private Idle Hour Country Club's 18-hole course.
