West Gardenside pairs everyday convenience with a relaxed, tree-lined residential feel, tucked just off the Southland Drive corridor and minutes from downtown Lexington. Mid-century homes and quiet side streets place you close to indie cafés, record shops, and the seasonal Sunday Lexington Farmers’ Market on Southland, while quick connections to Southland, Picadome, and Garden Springs broaden your dining and shopping options across central Fayette County.
Outdoor time is easy here: stroll to neighborhood green space at the city’s Southland Park, cool off at the adjacent Southland Aquatic Center, or tee up at the public Picadome Golf Course. Music lovers circle summer evenings for the toe-tapping Southland Jamboree, while practical commuters appreciate frequent Lextran service along Harrodsburg Road and Clays Mill Road.
Families highlight the proximity to Fayette County Public Schools. Nearby standouts include Lafayette High School and Jessie Clark Middle School, plus several well-regarded elementary campuses a short drive away. Parks, pools, libraries, and after-school activities cluster within a few minutes, helping daily routines run smoothly without crossing town.
If you’re weighing a move, West Gardenside offers an easygoing pocket of the city with amenities that punch above its size—great for first-time buyers, downsizers, and anyone seeking a central address with room to breathe.
