CHEVY CHASE/ASHLAND PARK

The district combines history, open space, and easy access to all amenities, making it one of Lexington’s most desired (and pricey) residential areas. The landscape architects Olmsted Brothers designed much of the area in the early twentieth century. Because of the shady tree-lined avenues and parkland, it’s easy to forget how close you are to downtown and the University of Kentucky campus. Restaurants, shopping, and all of Main Street’s attractions are all within walking distance. Because of its convenient location, low crime rate, and closeness to outstanding schools appeals to both seniors and families.

The former 600-acre estate of statesman Henry Clay has officially been designated as a National Historic Landmark. The house and gardens are open to the public. Garden parties, jazz concerts, and other activities are held throughout the year.

One of Chevy Chase’s many excellent restaurants, The Sage Rabbit, serves farm-to-table pasta, steaks, and burgers. Try one of their signature beverages or take a seat on the patio for their famous Saturday brunch.

Thirty years ago, Beaumont was a vast stretch of undeveloped terrain. Since the 1990s, it has become a well-known neighborhood. High-end houses, townhomes, and condos make this district close to the airport, Keeneland Racetrack, and downtown.

Beaumont was designed to make you feel at ease. Thanks to well-kept green spaces and sidewalks, the nearby grocery store, medical offices, restaurants, and offices are all conveniently accessible. The schools are some of the best in the city, plus the YMCA and Moondance Amphitheater are right outside your door, so you’ll never be bored.

What better way to spend a summer evening than at this gorgeous outdoor theater, seeing a movie, or attending a performance? Attendees should bring blankets or lawn chairs, as well as sandwiches, for a relaxed, casual atmosphere.

Chef Jeremy Ashby is well-known in the neighborhood. He provides dishes at Azur that are influenced by European cuisine and prepared using high-quality local ingredients. The imaginative seasonal menu includes lobster crepes, hog chop in bourbon molasses, and sea scallops in a lemon jalapeño bacon butter sauce, to name a few dishes.
