Neighborhood

West Lexington is an unpretentious suburban sector of Kentucky’s biggest college town. The area’s east side is just a couple of blocks away from the University of Kentucky campus, making it a prime location for students, faculty, and staff to find various apartments and houses available for rent. The exceptionally affordable rental rates add to the area’s appeal for many current and future residents as well.

Wildcat fans will appreciate the fact that much of this area is close enough to reach Commonwealth Stadium on foot. Of course, the various university libraries, schools, and arts centers are also within easy walking distance or a short drive from West Lexington.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
