Downtown events and Castlewood Park, home to the Lexington Art League, are steps away, and the area is home to Transylvania University, the oldest university in Kentucky.

These often have classic details like tall ceilings, original hardwood floors, covered front porches and period woodwork. Some homes date back to the late 1800s, with a handful listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Many properties have been renovated with modern finishes while keeping their original bones intact. Newer Craftsman-style builds have also found their way into the mix.
