The area also measures high among the best places for business location, creativity, entrepreneurial growth, and career relocation.

Situated just steps from the fully redeveloping Henry Clay High School and minutes from major employers like the University of Kentucky and CHI Saint Joseph Health (Central Baptist), the property benefits from strong rental demand and an ideal tenant profile. Surrounded by some of Lexington’s most established neighborhoods and positioned just off the growing Richmond Road retail corridor, the location offers exceptional long-term fundamentals. With market rents nearly 9% above current averages, and only ~4% of Fayette County multifamily properties trading in 2024, this is a rare chance to acquire a stabilized asset in a transforming corridor.
