About Merrick Place
In the center of Lexington, Kentucky's very distinguished Landsdown neighborhood, on the site of an old and venerable thoroughbred horse farm, sits the award-winning Merrick Place Apartments. Our community features rambling clusters of handsome buildings surrounded by magnificent landscaping and crowned at the top of the hill by Lexington's favorite four-star restaurant, Merrick Inn. Stroll through this lovely village nestled among the rolling fields of bluegrass where Merrick once galloped. Winding lanes, towering oaks and park benches accent the beautiful landscapes and gardens.*Information submitted through this marketing source to the property management company is not used to determine rental eligibility*

I enjoy living here at the Merrick. This is a nice quite place to live. The grounds here are well kept and the flower beds are always changing with the seasons. The.office personnel and the maintenance personnel are so helpful and quick to respond to any issues that may occur.

Merrick is a Lexington legend. It's Bluegrass hospitality to a T. Good food, classy atmosphere. I'll miss the pool (it's been filled in), but maybe it'll come back. I had the special, snapper, on this occasion. Flaky, buttery, with a delicate crust. Also had the grouper fingers and shrimp (like a bang bang shrimp) appetizers (I'm pescatarian🤷♂️). Paired with a Lexington craft beer and I was full and satisfied. Lovely visit as usual.
