I am moving to Lexington, KY from Australia in 6 weeks time. I was looking for advice on good rental areas

I have 6 month old daughter and my husband will be working in Georgetown. I would love to be near good cafe / shopping / market area. Any advice greatly appreciated.

good luck with your move! im moving back myself (was raised there) and honestly can't wait. i miss home! :) the best bet if you want to save some money and don't mind a little commute would be to rent in richmond or surrounding areas OUTSIDE of lexington. While there are cheap areas of lexington, unless you like the rustle and bustle of a larger city lifestyle, in my opinion it's not worth the price. I do have to admit though that I somewhat enjoyed living around tates creek @ man o' war. its close to the country yet close to downtown. the further out tates creek (closer to richmond/madison county) you go, the more rural it turns.

again, good luck on your move and welcome to not only the united states... but kentucky! :)

FIRST ANSWER
Here are some websites that might help:
www.rentals.com/Kentucky/Lexington/
LBAR.com (then click on rentals)
www.discoverourtown.com/KY/Lexington/Relocation-242.html
www.rentalinfocenter.com
There are great neighborhoods all over Lexington and a lot to choose from! If those sites don't give you the information you need, please let me know and I'll try again! I live in Frankfort now but grew up in Lexington so would be happy to show you around when you get here. Georgetown is a great city too if you would consider living there. Welcome to Kentucky!
