Lexington’s less-expensive housing nestled between two of its main thoroughfares
Lexington has two main thoroughfares surrounding the city: the inner loop New Circle Road and the outer loop Man o’ War. River Park sits between the two in southeast Lexington, with Man o’ War bordering it to the south and New Circle Road less than a mile north. This location makes it easy to zip around Lexington, no matter what part of the city residents need to get to. The neighborhood is home to a park and Millcreek Elementary School, making it a convenient spot for families to land, and a shopping center just across Tates Creek Road provides easy access to takeout and groceries. A nearby library provides ongoing programming for residents wanting to get involved in the community, and Kentucky’s largest shopping mall is only 3 miles away. Home values here are significantly less than the average for the Lexington metro area, making River Park one of the city’s more accessible neighborhoods.
Brick ranch-style homes and traditional townhouses
River Park has a mix of single-family homes, townhouses and apartments. The average home value here is more than $140,000 less than the metro area’s average, but the homes are relatively small, with an average size of about 1,400 square feet. Brick ranch-style homes are standard for single-family buyers here, and townhouses often come in traditional styles with either brick or vinyl siding. Prices for townhouses and single-family homes range roughly from $200,000 to $300,000.

Between Man o’ War and New Circle Road
River Park is a car-dependent neighborhood in southeast Lexington between Man o’ War and New Circle Road. “It’s almost right between the two circles,” says Realtor Bob Sophiea. “It’s a very convenient place to live. New Circle’s one of the quickest ways to get around.” This location serves residents because, aside from some being able to walk to Millcreek Elementary or River Hill Park, people who live here rely on cars to get around. The neighborhood’s about 6 miles from downtown Lexington and 4 miles from the University of Kentucky. The neighborhood’s Lextran bus stop takes passengers to the university in 20 minutes and downtown in 30. The nearest hospital, Baptist Health Lexington, is 4 miles north, and the Blue Grass Airport is 9 miles west.
