Refined suburban life with ample shopping on the east end of the Horse Capital
Those searching for a refined east Lexington living experience will find it in Hamburg. Home to the popular Hamburg Pavilion, a destination for retail and dining nearby, residents live in upscale suburban environs developed in the new millennium. “[There’s] not a lot happening in Hamburg aside from shopping… it does have Brighton Trail however, which is one of my favorite places to walk in all of Lexington,” says Cara C., a Lexington resident who’s lived in the city several times over more than 19 years. Jeremy Perryman, a Realtor with United Real Estate Lexington and resident in the area, adds: “It is close to the interstate, so it is very sought after. You can work outside of Lexington and commute back.”
Modern-day Colonial Revival and farmhouse styles
Contemporary reinterpretations of colonial and farmhouse styles are common among homes in Hamburg. Locals can find estates with brick exteriors, new traditional houses with cobblestone and column features, and townhomes and condos with designs inspired by 19th-century architecture. Most homes were built between the early 2000s and today. Smaller properties, such as townhomes, traditional single-family dwellings and duplex units, generally sell from $170,000 to $300,000. The area’s most lavish properties, including executive housing, custom houses and luxury townhomes, range from $395,000 to more than $1 million.
