I have lived in Lexington for the majority of my life, and I certainly think it's a fine place to settle down. It's a pretty mellow area, especially in the spread-out suburban areas of the county. Lots of fun recreational activities due to Lake Murray, the Saluda River, close access to the River Banks Zoo, and plenty of pretty local parks. Downtown has expanded a lot in the past few years and the upgrades are really nice! There's an amphitheater that's constantly hosting concerts (including both big names and local school orchestras/bands), a morning market, lots of great local restaurants, and a nice park all just around main street. The Lexington Museum is also great. Definite lack of public transportation, however, and roads are often slow to get fixed when they get potholes or wear.
Lexington is an amazing place to live. There is a wide variety of stores, churches, people, and things to do. The landscape is lovely with lots of parks, trees everywhere, and plenty of flowers and vegetation. An important town in South Carolina, Lexington is filled with conscientious citizens and friendly people. There are plenty of fabulous neighborhoods, and Lake Murray is just around the corner! People looking for a nice place to settle down would do well to consider Lexington as a place to thrive.
I think Lexington, South Carolina is a great place to live and raise a family. The Town of Lexington has everything you would need. We have a great school district, Lexington County School District One, and top rated schools! We have a wide variety of stores, restaurants, pharmacies, banks, etc. We have an amphitheater off Main Street which is great for hosting markets, concerts, and other local events. There are also plenty of parks and playgrounds for children and pets. Another plus is Lake Murray. Lake Murray is perfect for all of your recreational boating and fishing needs.
