Idle Hour offers easy living on quiet, walkable streets just off Richmond Road, minutes from downtown Lexington and close to neighborhood favorites in Chevy Chase and Kenwick. Mid-century brick ranches and tidy bungalows line leafy blocks, while everyday errands—groceries, coffee, and gyms—are a quick hop. Commuters appreciate straightforward access to New Circle Road, and weekend outings range from casual picnics to gallery strolls.
Green space and culture are close at hand. The grounds at Ashland, The Henry Clay Estate invite morning walks, and The Arboretum, State Botanical Garden of Kentucky at the University of Kentucky provides native-plant trails, family programs, and seasonal festivals at The Arboretum. Golfers and swimmers find a private retreat at Idle Hour Country Club, while families love year-round skating and mini golf at Lexington Ice Center. For everyday learning and events, the Eastside branch of the Lexington Public Library is nearby, and classic tree-lined avenues lead toward the historic homes of Ashland Park.
Public schools in Fayette County include well-regarded options such as Breckinridge Elementary, Morton Middle, and Henry Clay High School, and several private and Montessori programs are within a short drive.
