This is my 3rd year living here, and I have really enjoyed my stay. The living area in my apartment is cozy and the kitchen/appliances are great. The location is the best part, I walk to campus every day and can easily walk downtown. Maintenance has gotten much better over the years, I’ve had all of my recent issues solved within a day, even in the middle of the night. This would be a 4-5 star rating if it wasn’t so dirty! When I moved in my apartment, it was not clean from the previous residents at all, which was not welcoming. We didn’t mind cleaning it and we have kept it very clean. We

The fire alarm has been going off for over 4.5 hours. No email, no nothing. Didn't have a sink for the first 4 days I moved in. Had workers in here putting up backsplash after I moved in. Amenities had been closed forever. Had to move into a hotel for 4 days because of renovation that were supposed to be done over the summer.

Do not live here. Broken elevators for months, fire alarm that goes off for 6 hours, maintenance that just never comes, and to top it off, when you first move in, your apartment is incredibly dirty and has so many malfunctions. Terrible, nightmare scenario living here

The management at this place leaves much to be desired. There are 500 college students working here and no one can take a message or return a phone call. We move in, nothing is as they promised it would be. Ratty couches, dirty carpets, horrible. They say they will fix it over fall break and provide a hotel room. Then they try to make the kids move out 2 weeks later. They
Do not arrange for a hotel, they do not have everything ready to go. Location is good and that is the best thing I can say.

Don't have any maintenance emergencies on the weekend. We've left multiple messages on the "urgent" voicemail with no response. Water still dripping from the ceiling. Seems they reply to Google reviews faster than their voicemail, so.... One star.

I took a tour with The Lex and LOVED it. I ended up signing right after. The staff was so nice and helpful, answered all my questions, and explained everything I would need for move-in. What really sold me was the kitchens! I INSISTED on getting granite countertops. I recommend checking them out. You won't be disappointed.

The Lex was sold at the end of Nov. 2020. New ownership has already invested heavily in the community. All units are being upgraded. The common area amenities are being completely overhauled. New pool furniture has been ordered. Commercial spaces are being leased.
Maiden City Brewery just leased two spaces for their Tex Mex Brew Pub.
It will take time to change the property's reputation from prior absentee owners. Please give it a little time. If you have comments, let the office know with a phone call or a visit.

New to renting apartments for my daughter. I looked at many apartments and decided on The Lex. It is very clean and I feel is a safe place to live. But most importantly the associate Megan that helped me through this process was amazing. I texted and called her many times and she was always courteous and helpful. She made my decision easy. Thank you Megan

I highly recommend The Lex! The leasing manager is friendly and super accommodating. The location and convenience is one of the best in Lexington for a UK student. Having secured access doors is VERY important to a female student.

I had a great experience with these apartments from the very start! I was actually referred here by a friend, as I’m just coming out of a less than pleasant housing situation and I was told their management & maintenance would not disappoint. I’ve been looking at a handful of housing options and the response time, customer service and hospitality I experienced at this location is second to none. Natalia was super informative and answered my long list of questions before even scheduling my appointment to tour. I had the pleasure of working with her again when I came to see the property and I
