Monticello offers a relaxed, residential pocket of Lexington with broad lawns, mature trees, and a mix of classic brick ranches and thoughtfully updated two-stories. Tucked along the Tates Creek corridor in southeast Fayette County, the neighborhood balances quiet streets with quick access to everyday essentials and a straight shot to downtown and the university area.
Outdoor time is easy to come by. Families gravitate to the expansive fields, playgrounds, and trails at Shillito Park, and golfers appreciate the walkable routing at the city-run Tates Creek Golf Course. Book lovers and remote workers make regular stops at the Tates Creek Branch of the Lexington Public Library, while weekend plans often involve shopping and dining at The Summit at Fritz Farm, an open-air destination with local flavor and national names.
Schools are a strong draw. The area is served by Fayette County Public Schools, with many households choosing nearby Lansdowne Elementary, Tates Creek Middle, and Tates Creek High for their academic programs, arts, and athletics. Adjacent neighborhoods like Lansdowne add more parkland, sidewalks, and community amenities, creating a wider southside network that feels connected without losing its calm.
