Chevy Chase
Lexington's most walkable corner — bungalows, cafés, and the old movie house, all a short stroll from downtown.
A real neighborhood, in the old sense.
Chevy Chase grew up in the 1920s as a streetcar suburb, and it still feels like one: tree-lined streets of brick bungalows and Cape Cods, sidewalks that actually go somewhere, and a little commercial strip where you'll run into half the people you know.
You can walk to coffee at North Lime, dinner along Euclid, a movie at the Kentucky Theatre's sister house, and be back home before the ice cream melts. It draws a mix — young professionals, professors, downsizers who refuse to give up the walkability — and inventory moves fast when something good comes up.
Homes range from tidy two-bed bungalows in the $300s to fully renovated four-beds north of $800K. What you're really paying for is location: this is about as central as Lexington living gets.
The everyday stuff.
Genuinely walkable
Coffee, groceries, restaurants, and the park are all a 5–10 minute walk. A 92 Walk Score isn't a fluke here.
Strong schools
Served by well-regarded Fayette County public schools, with several private options a short drive away.
Cafés & dining
North Lime Coffee, the Euclid Avenue strip, and a rotating cast of local spots keep the neighborhood fed and caffeinated.
1920s bungalows
Brick bungalows and Cape Cods with real character — arched doorways, built-ins, and front porches built for waving.
Parks & green
Mature tree canopy throughout, with green space and walking loops minutes from any front door.
Easy commute
About 5 minutes to downtown and the university, 15 to most of the east side. Central in every direction.
