Lexington, SC has a great school system and is growing rapidly! There are new neighborhoods popping up and much new business growth in the area. The only downfall to the area is the traffic in downtown Lexington. If you have been here a while you can navigate around the traffic. However, Town council is keeping this on the agenda to better. Come to Lexington for live, education of your children and a great economy!
Lexington has a small Southern town feel with big city traffic. The people are very polite but have a narrow view of the world in general. The town is very conservative, mostly white and Protestant.
The Main Street area has recently gone through lots of renovation with new restaurants, pubs, coffee shops, and a beautiful, second to none amphitheater with regular entertainment. Most public schools in South Carolina aren't very good but Lexington is an exception.
Unlike Columbia, the town is very safe for the most part. It is very rare to ever hear of murder or violent crimes. The worst crimes are usually car break-ins.
There are ample parks and trails for a town this size including a very nice dog park. Lake Murray and the Saluda River are nearby for those interested in water recreation.
I can not give Lexington 5 stars because it's infrastructure has not kept up with its growth due to poor planning.

Lexington County has some of the best! Schools your child can attend. As well as many job opportunities and openings all around the Lexington area. There is also May after school day-cares for parents that work late. I can pretty much walk anywhere in Lexington and not have a fear in the world because of top notch police officials, and patrols. Very safe and would recommend living here to anyone I can across that isn’t already!
