Lexington, KY apartments for rent

Lexington, colloquially known as the "Horse Capital of the World," rests in Fayette County in Kentucky. One of the most noteworthy horse-centric attractions is the Kentucky Horse Park. Here, residents and visitors can bond over their love of horses by visiting the International Museum of the Horse, the working horse farm, and the educational theme park. Other sites you won't want to miss out on are Keeneland and the Red Mile, both of which are exciting race tracks that are open all year long.

As much fun as the horse culture in Lexington is, residents also focus on education. They can choose to pursue an education at Transylvania University, which is a private university known for its dual-degree engineering programs. Residents also have access to public colleges like Bluegrass Community & Technical College and the University of Kentucky.

Lexington prioritizes its horse farms, as it has a strict urban growth boundary to prevent developers from building new sites on these beloved spots. The city still has a booming economy, as multiple large corporations operate here. Fortune 500 companies like Xerox, IBM, and Lockheed Martin employ a sizable number of the city's residents. Companies like Jif, Amazon, Trane, and UPS also have large operations in the city.

Living in Lexington means there are endless opportunities when it comes to going out and exploring the culture. Residents look forward to the Festival of the Bluegrass every June, which is the oldest festival of its kind in the state. Other popular cultural events include the Lexington Pride Festival, the annual Nutcracker Ballet from the Lexington Ballet Company, and the LexArts HOP.
