Investment property loans · Fayette County, KY
Lexington's city government covers all of Fayette County, and since 1958 an urban growth boundary has kept new building inside an urban service area, with horse farms outside it. Investors work close-in neighborhoods near downtown and the University of Kentucky, the largest employer, which enrolled 35,952 students in fall 2024. Older streets near downtown hold 19th-century houses in local historic districts such as Gratz Park and Bell Court, while Kenwick, started in 1909, and the early car suburb of Chevy Chase sit to the southeast.
