Suburban neighborhood on border of horse country

Bryan Station is among the suburban neighborhoods that almost serve as a gateway to the lands and institutions that have helped Lexington become known as the “Horse Capital of the World.” This neighborhood is located about 4 miles east of the city’s downtown, as well as an almost equal distance to renowned sites like the historic Gainesway Farm just off the Paris Pike. “Bryan Station’s typically been priced a little bit less than other areas in town that offer the same amenities, and there’s been a lot of homes over there that have been renovated over the last several years. So, the area has become more and more attractive over time,” says Norm Biller, owner of Biller Homes, who’s made a few sales in Bryan Station. “There’s also the location. With New Circle Road, I-75 and 64, you have tremendous access within the town, or you can hop on the interstate and head wherever you want out of town, quickly.” Although Bryan Station is close to horse country, the neighborhood itself is not exactly considered rural. However, it has been credited with providing a bit more ease with traffic when compared with other parts of Lexington. “One reason people like to come here is because they don’t want to live in bumper to bumper traffic like in the south end,” says Donna Elder, a Realtor with Re/Max Creative Realty, who’s made several sales in Bryan Station. Elder also echoes some of her peers’ comments about a few of the other advantages like the location near the interstate and the value for money on the housing. “It’s easy for people who have to commute or travel for a living. They feel like it’s quicker getting into the center of town from there as well, which is where the UK med center is, for example,” she says. “They get bigger yards out there, too.”

Many single-story brick homes

The blocks here feature two-lane roads lined by many single-story, red brick homes built between the 1950s and 1970s. Common builds are Craftsman, ranch-style and Cape Cods. There are also some split levels. While the natural canopy isn’t as dense as in other neighborhoods closer to the city center, there are tall and mature trees that can provide some ample shade in front of the homes. Price points for the homes here can go from the upper $100,000s to around $300,000, with overall size playing some role in the costs. There are a few larger properties with similar stylistic touches, but with some additional features like limestone siding, that can go for well over $400,000.

Dining and shopping along New Circle Road

New Circle Road, which forms Bryan Station’s western boundary, passes by a cluster of shops and restaurants. Burgers Shakes, which only accepts cash, has been a neighborhood staple for more than six decades. Mimi’s Southern Style Cooking serves soul food, and the popular picks there include fried chicken, pork chops and chitterlings. Another local favorite is La Cabana Mexican & Seafood, located a little farther west of New Circle Road. Chains here include a White Castle and Kroger for grocery shopping.

Horse country and historic Loudoun House

Two parks are located in Bryan Station. Kenawood Park provides grills for cookouts, along with a basketball court and baseball field. Constitution Park has some similar amenities, but also features a playground and tennis courts. Although it’s not quite in the neighborhood, residents aren’t too far from the Castlewood Aquatic Center & Sprayground on Bryan Avenue. The summertime destination neighbors the Loudoun House, one of only five remaining castellated gothic revival villas in the entire country that was designed by the renowned New York architect A.J. Davis. The historic venue regularly hosts free art exhibits. Those interested in taking a trip through horse country can get on the Paris Pike — also known as U.S. Highway 27 and 68 — and stop at sites like the Thoroughbred Center and Gainesway Farm. The 1,500-acre Gainesway property is renowned for its pasture and production of top Thoroughbreds.

Connections to downtown Lexington and other suburbs

U.S. Highway 27 and 68 — Broadway from this part of the city to downtown — provides a direct connection to downtown Lexington, where fans of Kentucky Wildcats basketball can catch their games at Rupp Arena. Broadway also brings them closer to the UK HealthCare facilities like the flagship Albert B. Chandler Hospital. Interstates 64 and 75, which run along Bryan Station’s eastern bounds, provides a direct connection to the Hamburg Area and its dense shopping districts.

Bryan Station residents can hop on Paris Pike or I-75 to get around the greater Lexington area.
