Lexington has so much to offer.
Aside from being an equestrian center, with the KY Horsepark. beautiful Horse Farms and Keenland, one of the most beautiful race tracks in the country, this little city is also a great supporter of the fine arts and theater.
Lexington was known as "the Athens of the West" in the late 1800's and still has that opera house opened for many fine theatrical productions. We have visual art events throughout the year. If you are looking for more spectacular events there is Rupp Arena offering sporting events and big name concerts. There is always something to do in Lexington.
It is a wonderful place to raise a family with an excellent school system and a varied multi-cultural population. Housing is also still extremely reasonable compared to most of the other states. There are several really nice parks as well.
This is a little city with a big city offerings that maintains a small town appeal.
There are some of the best restaurants here that offer cuisine from Chinese, Japanese & Sushi with Teppan Grills, to Italian, Indian, Thai and so much more.
Shopping is great here from the malls large Department stores to the unique gift shops around town.
Of course I cannot end this review without mentioning the University of Kentucky with its teaching medical hospital and our star ball team the Kentucky Wildcats.
And if all of this is not enough entertainment, Cinncinatti, Ohio is about a 2 hour drive from here as is Louisville.
I know I haven't mentioned everything that there is to offer here.
Lexington is rich with a long history and is continually evolving with contemporary events and progression.
All in all, this is a fabulous place to live.
