Castlewood feels close-knit and creative, a pocket of tree-lined streets just north of Lexington where everyday life meets the arts. The neighborhood’s namesake park is its centerpiece: broad lawns for pickup games, shaded picnic spots, and the Gothic Revival Loudoun House, home to the Lexington Art League’s rotating exhibits and community events, all supported by Lexington Parks & Recreation. Summer days often spill over to the on-site pool and splash features, while evenings bring gallery nights and concerts that keep the calendar full.
Walk or bike to the emerging energy along the North Limestone corridor, or hop onto the Legacy Trail for a ride from the city to the countryside. Families appreciate access to Fayette County Public Schools, with magnet and specialized programs across the district, and book lovers have the Northside Branch of Lexington Public Library nearby. Commuters value quick links to downtown, the university area, and bus service through Lextran, while Transylvania University’s historic campus—and its lectures, arts, and athletics—adds a collegiate spark just a short hop away.
From morning playground meetups to evening art openings, Castlewood blends green space, culture, and convenience in a way that makes daily life feel effortless.
