How much will $135,000 buy in Lexington?
My husband and I have a 3 year old son and are hoping to get in an area in Lexington with a good elementary school.
Our max price range is $135,000 and we were hoping to get over 1500sq ft with this price.
What areas would you suggest? What areas would you avoid?

I would go check out Garden Springs School, i personally didn't like it. I did have a tour of school about 4 years ago so it may have changed - i hope it has. I arrived at the school, was buzzed in, was allowed to sign the visitors book and then told to tour the school ON MY OWN. They had no idea who i was or what i was carrying i therefore did buy a house that came under that catchment area.
Good luck

Actually, ALL of Lexington has changed. For my money, not for the best. However I live in Garden Springs and my area has actually improved in the past 5 years. There are several houses in the area for sale that are in your price range. One is just being ovarhauled.

1500 sq ft, new construction for $135000.00 is possible depending on which side of town. My husband and I had a 1500 sq ft built two years ago for $140,000. which included many upgrades on the North side of town. On the south side of town $135000. won't buy 1500 sq ft.

Take a look at the Southland-Twin Oaks area: three-bedroom ranches and story and a half brick or fieldstone houses, many with fireplaces, garages, large fenced backyards, mature trees, etc., run around $125,000-$150,000. Good public and private schools are in walking distance, as is shopping, churches, and parks. Nice area, very convenient, developed in the 1950s, well-maintained, and very good value for your money.

We live in the Glendover Elementary district and you can probably find a three bedroom for that price if you don't need it to be perfect. Some of the homes on Lowry Lane, for example, are in that price range.
