More than a collection of streets.
Fairway is a historic Lexington neighborhood tucked just off Richmond Road, where mature trees shade sidewalks and distinctive homes reflect generations of Kentucky architecture.
But what makes Fairway special isn't simply where it is or what its homes look like. It's the people who live here: families, longtime residents, newcomers and neighbors who care about keeping Fairway a welcoming place to call home.
