What home styles and prices you’ll find in Zandale
Most of the homes in Zandale are ranch-style and Cape Cod houses built in the 1950s and ‘60s. Brick exteriors are common, and many homes have been updated while preserving original details like hardwood floors and wood-burning fireplaces. “Zandale is an older, more established part of Lexington,” says Whitney Pannell, a Realtor with Team Pannell Real Estate. “The lots are a pretty nice size. If you're looking for a large yard, you could find one there.” Condos line Malabu Drive, and there are also apartments available. The median home sale price in Zandale is in the lower $300,000s, below Lexington’s overall median and that of nearby neighborhoods like Glendover and Lansdowne. Single-family home prices generally range from the mid-$200,000s to the upper $500,000s, depending on size and updates. Condos can range from the lower to mid-$100,000s.
