Lexington housing prices -when will it stop?
Curious what people think. I'm a college student here and You can expect to pay around $2,816 for rent here. Homes are going for about $1,147,900 on average. The median home value here is around $1,147,900, which is pretty steep. Crime rate is something to consider -Lexington sits at 50.3 per 100K. Rent is about $2,816/month for a decent place. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
Pros:
- Low crime in most areas
- Diverse community
- Easy commute
- Strong sense of community
Cons:
- Not very walkable
- Lack of diversity
- Few job opportunities in some fields
