What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Lexington

Everyone is so felreindly. We have a great HOA Board of Directors. And we love all the parties they have for the kids during the holidays.

Nothing now. Use to be that hardly anyone knew it existed. Favorite local business is tire discounters. I like going into downtown and eating with friends and family.

I love the schools for my neighborhood. Feel safe for kids to ride bikes all throughout neighborhood. Good sidewalks for walking

I know my neighbors by name. They are all friendly and we have actual conversation. It's close to everything, but tucked away.

Its out in the country. There is a lot of wild animals to watch walk around out side. You can talk long walks out back

I like the community. I also like the diversity and the availability of aa meetings. The art work in the neighborhood is unique. My favorite restaurant in Malones. Also like going to the Fayette mall.
