Lexington community with cottages and proximity to major city park
Meadows-Loudon — or simply Meadows as many call it here — has blocks of cottages that date back to the Great Depression and post-World War II eras. However, a number of the neighborhood’s homes also carry the distinction of having been initially ordered through the Sears catalog. These prefabricated Sears homes sold during the first half of the 20th century and were somewhat of a precursor to today’s modular houses. “They would ship you all the components of the house and assemble it for you. There’s a bunch of them in the neighborhood,” says Ryan Camenisch, a Realtor with The Brokerage. Along with their distinct features like plywood walls, the home's modest sizes also help with the neighborhood’s affordability. The Meadows community is also known for seamlessly blending in with neighboring Castlewood, which is home to a prominent neighborhood park and one of Lexington’s six aquatic centers. On Meadows’ appeal, Camenisch says: “You can get to downtown and the interstate easily. It’s got a lot of the same benefits as Castlewood. Castlewood is like the mother neighborhood, and Meadows is like a subsidiary.”
The median home in Meadows-Loudon was constructed in 1950.
The Loudoun House was built by architect Alexander Jackson Davis in 1851.

Comfortable Craftsmen, Cape Cods and ranch-style houses
While the houses in Meadows have slightly less custom designs than those in Castlewood, the two neighborhoods do share some architectural styles. Meadows, like Castlewood, features a mix of Craftsmen, Cape Cods and ranch-style homes and most homes are no larger than 1,500 square feet. These cozy and practical homes sit on lots no larger than a quarter-acre and come with stone retention walls and terraced stairways leading up to entryways. Single-family homes in Meadows primarily run between $100,000 and $200,000 — while a few of the largest and fully renovated homes run close to $300,000. The average sales price in Meadows is $186,361, about $200,000 below the entire Lexington metro area. “It’s a more affordable place to buy. You can get a yard, a decent size yard with a two- or three-bedroom house under $200,000 most of the time,” Camenisch says.
Homebuyers looking in Meadows-Loudon can expect to spend around $178 per square foot.
The average home in Meadows-Loudon is roughly 1,326 square feet.

A few blocks from one of Lexington’s oldest parks
This community is also just a few blocks away from Castlewood Park, one of Lexington’s oldest city parks. The 32-acre green space has several amenities and is home to the historic Loudoun House, a large Gothic Revival villa built in the mid-1800s. Many visit the Loudoun House to browse the many art exhibits in its public gallery. Castlewood Park’s other attractions include a playground with swing sets and courts and fields for basketball, tennis and baseball. The park’s other major attraction is the seasonal Aquatic Center and Sprayground, which has additional equipment like an octopus-shaped slide for young children. Other nearby green spaces include Kenawood Park. The site is popular among dog owners and also hosts youth baseball games. Those looking for indoor workout options can sign up at Planet Fitness.
