Gardenside pairs everyday convenience with a leafy, residential feel on the west side of Lexington. Mid-century ranches and split-levels line quiet streets, and neighbors are a short hop from the eateries and music venues along Southland Drive, with quick access to Harrodsburg and Clays Mill roads for commuting across town. Weekend routines often revolve around the playgrounds and open fields at Gardenside Park, with larger recreation like tennis, pools, and walking loops just minutes away at Shillito Park.
Families appreciate strong nearby school options, including James Lane Allen Elementary, and a handy stop for books, homework help, and free programs at the Lexington Public Library’s Village Branch. For golfers, the historic fairways of Picadome are close by, while everyday errands are streamlined by neighborhood grocers, pharmacies, and local shops. Bus riders benefit from straightforward routes on nearby corridors through Lextran.
Gardenside also shines with its proximity to beloved adjacent neighborhoods—browse indie shops and festivals in Southland, explore international eateries in Cardinal Valley, or enjoy the central convenience of Picadome. With wide sidewalks, mature trees, and an active community spirit, it’s easy to settle into a comfortable rhythm here while staying connected to the rest of the city.
