Colony sets an easygoing rhythm on Lexington’s south side, where shady streets and well-kept homes put daily conveniences within effortless reach of Lexington. Residents enjoy quick access to the University of Kentucky’s living classroom at The Arboretum, State Botanical Garden of Kentucky, a favorite for weekend walks and educational programs, and the intimate greenspace at Lansdowne-Merrick Park, perfect for playtime or a quiet picnic. The wider retail and dining scene is close at hand too, from local favorites in neighboring Lansdowne to the curated mix at The Summit at Fritz Farm.
Outdoor time comes easy here. Shillito Park offers ballfields, tennis, a pool, and miles of trails, while the city’s Tates Creek Golf Course makes tee times convenient for players honing their short game. When errands and enrichment are on the agenda, the Tates Creek Branch of the Lexington Public Library anchors a busy corridor with story times, study space, and community events. And when you crave a change of scenery, the boutiques and eateries of Chevy Chase are a short drive away.
Families are served by Fayette County Public Schools, with Tates Creek campuses known for strong arts, athletics, and the International Baccalaureate program at the high school. Commuters appreciate straightforward routes around Fayette County, plus reliable city services and transit. Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or buying your first home, Agent Pronto can connect you with a top local agent to navigate Colony’s market with confidence—both for buying and selling.
