Types of apartment in Lexington, KY

Lexington, KY has a wide mix of apartments and houses for rent. Near Downtown, Chevy Chase, and Kenwick, you can find older brick apartments, small courtyard buildings, and houses split into a few units. Many have porches, narrow stair halls, hardwood floors, and smaller closets. Around Southland and Meadowthorpe, apartments often sit in low-rise brick buildings with open parking lots and simple layouts. These areas can feel more spread out, and exterior upkeep can vary block to block.

In Hamburg on the east side and Beaumont on the southwest side, many apartments are newer garden-style or mid-rise buildings with vinyl or brick fronts, larger windows, and wider parking areas. You also see townhome-style apartments with attached garages in some newer sections. On the north side near Castlewood and along Versailles Road, houses for rent and older apartments can have more varied layouts, including duplexes and ranch homes. Many apartments in newer areas have in-unit laundry and bigger kitchens, while older places often trade that for thicker walls, mature trees, and more distinct exterior style.
