The historic South Hill neighborhood of Lexington, which overlooks one branch of Elkhorn Creek, sits two miles to the south of Downtown Lexington. This area features an active and hip feel, and it offers an abundance of homes and apartments for rent.

When the weather warms up, take a walk or catch a bus to Sav's Chill gourmet ice cream shop for a generous scoop of Chocolate Overload or Hot Banana. Enjoy a pizza or sub sandwich at Joe Bologna's located inside a former synagogue with stained glass windows. On weekends, visit nearby Thoroughbred Park to read the plaques detailing the history of horse racing in Kentucky. U.S. Highway 68 ferries residents into downtown with ease.
