Neighborhood in fast-growing pocket of Lexington
Many know they’re in Sandersville when they see the Dixie Cup water tower. This iconic landmark overlooks the industrial sector of Sandersville, that is also home to an Amazon fulfillment center and other major employers like Coca-Cola. The other half of Sandersville is a contemporary neighborhood that many who work in these warehouses and manufacturing plants call home. Sandersville also forms part of north Lexington, which is transitioning into a bedroom community due to its proximity to commuter routes like New Circle Road, Citation Boulevard and Interstates 64 and 75. In fact, Citation Boulevard was recently extended to form most of Sandersville’s northern boundary. Commenting on this area's recent growth, Robin Jones, a Realtor with Keller Williams Legacy Group, who’s made sales in both Sandersville and neighboring Masterson Station says, “It’s amazing. Now there are more restaurant opportunities, more shopping and you have access to a lot of work options, too." Jones adds "It's a neighborhood that has really kept up momentum over the years, probably more than almost any other affordable Lexington neighborhood.”
There are 503 homes in Sandersville.
Sandersville homeowners enjoy quiet streets with paved sidewalks and shade trees.

Modern suburban houses with a wide range of footprints
Like other communities in north Lexington, Sandersville mainly consists of modern housing designs with most built between the early 2000s to the present day. Sitting close to each other, they occupy lots no larger than a quarter-acre, but housing footprints do affect pricing. “Honestly, there’s a good mix of anything from a 1,200-square-foot ranch-style home up to a 4,000-square-foot two-story with a basement. Really, there’s quite a mixture. You can really find what you want,” Jones says. Single-family homes here tend to cost from about $290,000 to nearly $500,000, and “More houses have been selling in the area than anywhere else in town,” says Bob Sophiea, lead agent with New Home Collective with eXp Realty. For those looking for rental options, Sandersville is also home to a garden-style apartment complex and a small community of rental townhouses featuring contemporary Traditional designs.

A local tradition in Ramsey’s and African specialties at GrassToGrace
Leestown Coffee House and Grounded All Day Cafe on Leestown Road are popular morning stops. In 2023, Ramsey’s Diner brought a Lexington institution, and a self-billed “Kentucky Tradition,” to this community when it opened its Masterson Station location. Popular for its downhome cooking, Ramsey’s menu includes traditional American breakfasts, barbecue chicken and both southern-style and Cajun fried catfish. Ramsey’s, which has four locations in the city, also provides outdoor seating. Those looking for some African cuisine can go to nearby GrassToGrace. Its options include seafood, chicken and beef meals served with sides like cassava and plantains. Other options include more American comfort food at spots like the Thoroughbred Restaurant or artisanal burgers at the Bad Wolf Burgers spot. Kroger is the nearest grocery shopping option, while Publix will soon open a store in the neighboring Highlands community.

Horse riding lessons at Masterson Station Park
One of the largest green spaces in Lexington, Masterson Station Park stretches across more than 650 acres of land. The park’s rolling pastures host several equestrian activities, including after-school horse riding lessons. Other facilities there include cross-country and dressage sites.

The park also showcases other animal exhibits during the year, including alpaca petting zoos and sheep-shearing stations. Dog owners also enjoy taking pets for a walk here. Other nearby entertainment facilities include Battle Axes LLC. In addition to axe throwing for adults, the venue provides inflatable structures and mats for young children. Located in the industrial section of Sandersville, the Yard is an indoor multi-sport complex.
