Can someone tell me if Lexington has a magazine that lists houses for sale? We are in Ohio and planning to visit Lexington at Christmas. We would like to view some of the communities and homes for sale around Lexington before visiting.
The type of home we are looking for:
New construction
On a larger lot or perhaps 2 - 5 acres
Safe and quiet community
Not too far away from most shopping (about 15 - 20 min at most)
Also, if anyone has had good luck with a NON pushy realtor in the area and would like to share their name, please email me.
I was just browsing a magazine I picked up at the grocery store, just for fun. It is Harmon Homes (eHarmonHomes.com).
Typically acreage would bring you to the counties outside of Fayette County (outside of Lexington), but you could still be convenient to shopping, etc. Others will know better what to recommend - Georgetown, Richmond, Versailles?
I loved my realtor and she wasn't pushy. (My stepfather who is a realtor from another state was with me for the first visit and he called her a true professional; we had just been with a realtor in Louisville and he kept saying "now do you see the difference between a top realtor and a novice ...").
Two to five acres in Fayette County (assuming a nice part of town) would put you into an expensive area. Can you give us more info, specifically price range?
According to mapquest, which just goes from the center of one town to the center of another, Georgetown is 15 miles or 20 minutes from Lexington; Richmond is 27 miles or 35 minutes.
I am new to Lexington, so I don't specifically know these areas very well, but others here do and they've been discussed and compared a lot.
There is a thread in the last month, I think, comparing the two. Would others also put Versailles in this mix? Am I on the right track?
PS - I re-read your first post and you mentioned "new construction" which is really abundant in both of these places.

That pretty much hits the nail on the head. To add to your new construction desire, Hamburg area in Lexington is exploding with new housing going up in every direction and Hamburg Pavillion is one of the two major shopping areas in town.
