Southern Heights places you close to everyday conveniences and local favorites while offering a calm, residential feel with mature trees and mid-century homes. Weekends often revolve around the Southland Drive corridor’s indie eateries and music, with fresh produce and artisan finds at The Lexington Farmers’ Market. Outdoor time comes easy: stroll the trails and themed gardens at The Arboretum, State Botanical Garden of Kentucky, tee off at the city-run Picadome Golf Course, or spread out for sports and playgrounds at sprawling Shillito Park. For a different kind of outing, live racing and events at Red Mile add a classic bluegrass pastime to your calendar.
Commuters appreciate multiple transit options, including Lextran routes that connect swiftly to major employers, healthcare, and shopping. The neighborhood also benefits from proximity to the University of Kentucky, opening doors to performances, lectures, and big-time athletics throughout the year.
Families find strong support through Fayette County Public Schools; nearby campuses and magnet offerings provide a range of academic pathways, and it’s easy to verify current attendance zones and programs directly with the district. Whether you’re drawn by the practical convenience or the steady rhythm of established streets, Southern Heights delivers a lifestyle that feels easy to grow into and proud to call home.
