Suburban Quaint Lake

Founded in 1812, Lexington is one of the top-rated suburbs in Richland County. This Ohio village is nearly a self-contained community with its vibrant downtown district and picturesque suburban sections.

Touting well-manicured lawns and an entertaining Main Street, Lexington is perfect for families. You can spend a night in town at the Happy Grape Wine Bar & Bistro, or soak up an afternoon and amazing views at Bicentennial Park. Clear Fork Reservoir is another popular feature of this community. Its pristine waters have made for an idyllic outdoor destination, and there’s amazing amenities like the Mansfield Sailing Club to experience.

Accessing Lexington and the rest of Ohio is simple, thanks to the I-71 that’s nearby. Columbus is just over an hour south, and Cleveland just over an hour to the northeast.
