Seven Parks Lexington, KY

A charming neighborhood set in a precious historic district

Historic Walkable Architecture

Not to be the bearer of bad news, but Seven Parks doesn’t encompass seven parks. It does however contain a cherished historic district with some of Lexington’s most characterful houses.

Seven Parks is a sought-after locale in the Kentucky’s second-largest city. Colonial-style homes and charming apartment buildings are shrouded by towering oak trees and white picket fences. Southland Drive rounds out the neighborhood’s southern border and is full of local restaurants serving everything from seafood to German cuisine. Seven Parks’ northern tip puts you just minutes away from Downtown Lexington, regardless if you’re driving or walking. It’s also a fantastic spot for college students, as the University of Kentucky sits on its eastern border.
