Suburban convenience meets small-town charm just south of Lexington
On the northern end of Nicholasville, just south of Lexington, Brandon Crossing is a mixed-use community comprised primarily of apartments, condos and retail shopping. Residents here live amidst this pocket of local shops and chain restaurants with direct proximity to both Lexington, which is 6 miles north, and Nicholasville, just 6 miles south. "We're close to a lot of things that make Kentucky special, like the horse farms and distilleries," says executive director of Visit Jessamine, Charla Reed. "You can experience Kentucky and then come home and have a cigar at Jake's Cigar Bar and go golfing, or go to a horse farm here. You have the whole unique Kentucky experience right here, along with the small-town charm that you can't find anywhere else."
Taylor Made Farm is a 1,100 acre thoroughbred paradise and is considered one of the most iconic farms in the Bluegrass Region.
Jake's Cigar Bar offers Brannon Crossing residents rare cigars, humidification, cutters, lighters, home decor, and more.

Apartments, condos and new traditional homes
Brannon Crossing offers potential residents a mix of apartment, condo and single-family home options. A small community experiencing growth, most of the area’s homes were built after 2020. The recent-build date translates to modern architectural styles, which lends itself to relatively high price tags when compared to Lexington averages. Here, home prices cost nearly $200,000 more than that of the Lexington metro area. New Traditional and Craftsman homes line the streets, with single-family homes featuring three to five bedrooms and situated on small lots with minimal yard space. For a three-bedroom home, prices typically range from $450,000 to $550,000. The neighborhood also has multiacre land listings available for those looking to invest in a residential development project. The market in Brannon Crossing moves quickly, with homes selling after an average of 17 days, less than half the national average of 44.
Homebuyers looking in Brannon Crossing can expect to spend around $219 per square foot.
There are 154 homes in the Brannon Crossing neighborhood.

Veterans Park and the Connemara Golf Course
Two miles northeast, the nearly 240-acre Veterans Park is one of Lexington's largest public green spaces. The park offers a 4-acre fenced-in dog park, a roughly 4-mile mountain biking trail, two playgrounds and an 18-hole disc golf course. Families often spend weekends here, in part because its six baseball and softball fields routinely host Little League games. The park also offers four picnic pavilions, paved walking paths and several veteran memorials. Three miles south, Connemara is a public golf course that ranked within Golfers' Choice's top 20 golf courses in Kentucky in 2023. The 18-hole course also offers a driving range, practice green and lessons taught by professionals.
The Connemara Golf Course was built in 1992.
