Deciding between East or South Suburbs

[Peter1948]

To the OP. I think the South is much classier. I am not impressed by the new neighborhoods by Hamburg, etc. I like the established south side of Lex. I am not sure that I would call them suburbs, but more of subdivisions, though.

Peter, I've been trying to figure out the difference, too...husband works in Hamburg, but we currently rent near the mall. While driving cleeear over to Hamburg (its a long drive with that traffic) I kept asking myself why it "felt" so different in those sections. Is it the lack of trees, perhaps? Maybe the endless scatterings of those tiny little shopping type plazas?

I couldn't put my finger on it...

I have lived out by the Wellington area(Clays Mill Road) for several decades. We like it out here a lot, and it's pretty quiet for the most part. (There can be a lot of traffic around rush hour though). A couple of businesses in the Keithshire Shopping Center (across from Wellington Elementary) were robbed recently (Southern Rays tanning Salon and the Parent Teacher store) - the police think the same person is responsible though. (This is definitely the exception and not the rule though).

Thanks everyone for all the help. I decided to purchase a home in a southern suburb.
