Old Richmond Rd Corridor draws you toward the quiet, bluegrass-framed edge of Lexington, where country roads, creek-cut bluffs, and working horse farms create a scenic everyday backdrop. Running southeast toward Richmond, the corridor offers a relaxed pace with quick access to I-75 and the amenities of greater Fayette County, making it appealing to commuters who still want room to breathe.
Weekend plans practically write themselves here. Cast a line, paddle, or spread a picnic blanket at the city’s lakeside playground, Jacobson Park. For a dose of adrenaline and sweeping gorge views, the canopy tour at Boone Creek Outdoors sits just off the corridor. A few miles farther, history meets river scenery at the continuously operating Valley View Ferry, a beloved shortcut to the Kentucky River palisades and neighboring farmland.
Families appreciate that the area is served by Fayette County Public Schools, with nearby campuses and specialized programs across the district. Everyday conveniences—from local eateries and wineries to big-box shopping in the Hamburg area—are an easy drive, while the corridor’s long sightlines and low light pollution reward evening walks with starry skies and owl calls.
Whether you’re moving in or moving up, this corner of the city offers a rare blend of countryside calm and urban reach. When it’s time to buy or sell, Agent Pronto can connect you with a top local agent who knows the Old Richmond Rd Corridor inside and out.
