ABOUT LEXINGTON
If you've been to Lexington, you love it. If you haven't been, you will. A beautiful, culturally rich place full of good people. For a mid-sized city, we have an oversized but tight-knit creative community that permeates everything-food, art, bourbon, music, industry. A little bit Southern, a little bit Midwest, making for a vibe that's unique but the best of everything.
We're surrounded by rolling hills and gorgeous horse farms, with a thriving, bustling and constantly evolving downtown. Within a short drive, you can see where the Bluegrass kisses the Appalachian Mountains. You can chase waterfalls. You can hike into absolute seclusion. And you can explore the Red River Gorge, one of the best-kept geological wonders in America.
Not to mention, the cost-of-living makes you feel like you're getting away with something.
Like we said, there's a lot to love about our big little city.
