Masterson Station blends modern suburban living with rural roots

Located on the northwestern edge of Lexington, Masterson Station is where the city’s suburbs give way to the rolling pastures of the Bluegrass region. The area is one of the largest neighborhoods in Lexington, and buyers are drawn to its modern homes that are within walking distance of the expansive Masterson Station Park. This part of the city continues to grow with new residential developments, but the park helps the neighborhood stay connected to its rural roots with equestrian facilities, horseback riding lessons and the annual Bluegrass Fair. With Downtown Lexington only 5 miles away, Masterson Station bridges city convenience, suburban comfort and rural recreation.

What home styles, prices and HOA fees to expect in Masterson Station

Most homes were built in the early 2000s and reflect the New Traditional styles of that time. Two-story houses are common, featuring open-concept kitchens with center islands, connected living areas and main-level primary suites. Some ranch-style homes are also available, and new houses continue to be built. The neighborhood is deed-restricted, so homeowners will need to get the HOA’s approval for new landscaping and exterior renovations. The median home sale price in Masterson Station is in the lower $300,000s, below Lexington’s overall median and that of Sandersville, but above that of McConnell's Trace and Greendale. Prices generally range from the lower $200,000s to the mid-$500,000s, plus an annual HOA fee of $120 that covers community events and maintenance.

Masterson Station Park’s horse facilities and green space

Outdoor recreation revolves around the over 650-acre Masterson Station Park. “A lot of families with younger kids really enjoy going there in the summer,” says Sheridan Sims, a Realtor and co-owner of The Catalyst Group at Keller Williams Commonwealth and a life-long Lexington resident. The park has soccer fields, sand volleyball courts and a splash pad, plus a fenced-in area for dogs. Horseback riding lessons are available at the park's equestrian facility, which has indoor and outdoor arenas and a dressage complex. Masterson Hills Park is a smaller neighborhood park with a playground and walking trails. Residents can choose to join the HOA’s pool, which has a separate fee.
