There’s new life coming to this charming Southern suburb

Suburban Commuter Convenient Affordable Quaint

Stretching roughly from East Loudon Avenue east over I-64 to the outer reaches of the city, East Lexington remains a relatively quiet and unassuming suburban locale. There’s a wide variety of homes, apartments, and townhomes for rent in this affordable area. Locals enjoy a quiet spot outside the city center while still being close to popular, lively attractions.

While East Lexington is great for commuters, there are plenty of amenities to enjoy without leaving the area. Castlewood Park, Constitution Park, Kenawood Park, and Lexington Country Club will keep outdoors lovers, golf enthusiasts, and kids entertained all year long. There’s also plenty of shopping and dining options along New Circle Road. Downtown Lexington is only four miles away, however. And the rest of the city is easily accessed thanks to the interstates and thoroughfares that surround East Lexington.
