What's it like to live in Eastland Parkway?

Affordability attracts renters to Eastland Parkway, where garden apartments and duplexes offer more space than possible in Lexington's trendier districts. The neighborhood's central location provides quick access to both downtown employment and the university area without student housing premiums. Though architectural distinction may be limited compared to historic districts, the practical layouts and responsive maintenance typically found in larger communities compensate for character limitations. The neighborhood's proximity to both Idle Hour Country Club and Kirklevington Park creates green space access unusual for affordable rental districts.
