What shapes a project in Lexington
Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.
Newer than Louisville, but still aging
ACS 2020-2024 estimates put the median year built for Lexington-Fayette housing at 1984. About 45 percent of units were built before 1980 and about 27 percent in 2000 or later, so projects range from updating older homes to reworking houses built in the last 25 years.
Many attached and multi-unit homes
About 58 percent of Lexington-Fayette housing units are detached homes, about 7 percent are attached homes such as townhomes, and about 26 percent are in buildings with five or more units. Association rules can affect work on shared roofs and walls.
