Why buyers are drawn to Pasadena
Pasadena is an established neighborhood in Lexington ’s Southland area, known for its tree-lined streets and community feel. This part of the city developed in the 1950s alongside Southland Drive, a commercial stretch that today is home to longstanding locally owned businesses and a popular farmers market. Pasadena’s proximity to that shopping corridor is one of its biggest draws, and buyers here also appreciate its highly rated schools and neighborhood park. Quick access to New Circle Road and Downtown Lexington adds to the appeal.

What home styles and prices you’ll find in Pasadena
Pasadena’s ranch-style and Cape Cod homes were primarily built in the 1950s. Brick exteriors and hardwood floors are common throughout, and many houses have been updated over the years with renovated kitchens and new back decks. Some properties have full basements, offering extra living or storage space. Lot sizes average around a quarter of an acre, providing room for fenced-in backyards, detached garages and mature trees. “Pasadena has a really good sense of community. Many of my clients who buy in the neighborhood like it because of the people who live there,” says Jeremy Perryman, a Realtor with SimpliHOM. The median home sale price in Pasadena is in the lower $300,000s, below Lexington’s overall median and that of nearby neighborhoods like Rosemill and Open Gates, but above that of Garden Springs and Picadome. Prices generally range from the mid-$200,000s to the mid-$400,000s, depending on size and updates.
