What is the Gainesway neighborhood like?
Most of the homes are between 35 and 60 years old.
The majority are three bedroom with one and a half baths. Many of the homes have been remodeled or added onto so that there are two or three full baths. The three bedroom homes are usually about eleven hundred square feet finished on the main floor. Many of these smaller homes have unfinished or partially finished basements. There are some larger homes in Gainesway between 2400 and 3600 square feet. Most of those were built after 1975 or they had a major addition to the original construction.
Gainesway Subdivision, Lexington Kentucky 40517 is a very good place for home owners who like to garden. Because it is an older neighborhood most of the yards are good sized and the topsoil was not removed during construction. There is still considerable Kentucky clay but it is easily managed with compost added yearly.
Most Gainesway homes have brick veneer but a few are wood and many of the remodeled or updated homes have vinyl in the new construction. Almost all of the older homes have hardwood floors that tend to be much tighter and firmer than newer homes with hardwood.
Gaineway Subdivision has a variety of old trees that provide the neighborhood with stunning spring blossoms and radiant fall colors. The east side of Greentree Road, a major connector road, is adjacent to Tates Creek. The homes on this creek have very large yards and flocks of ducks visit the neighborhood with their ducklings in the spring.
The terrain is mostly level near Tates Creek but most of the rest of Gainesway Subdivision is hilly. Many homes have steps to the streets and inclined driveways.

Recreation
Kirklevington Park is about a mile from most of Gainesway but does not have safe walking access to it. This is a large park with ball fields, basketball courts, tennis courts, an exercise walking/running course and a large children's playground.
Lansdowne-Merrick Park is also about a mile from much of Gainesway and it has safe sidewalk access. This is also a large park with playground, ball fields, and good walking trails. Large cypress and sycamore trees grace this park as well as a wetland with huge cattails and many other native Kentucky plants.

Tates Creek Golf Course I am not a golfer so can't comment on it. There are some reviews at this web site.
Shopping Venues
Two of Lexington's best small boutique malls are only a mile from the Gainesway Subdivision. The Lansdowne Shoppes is very close but needs to be driven to because of the lack of sufficient sidewalks.
The Lansdowne Shoppes
Fresh Market has some of the finest fresh flowers in Lexington and almost always has beautiful roses for less than $10.00 a dozen. Fresh Market also has a delicious selection of prepared meat dishes, salads and gourmet appetizers in their large deli. The selection of organic fruits and vegetables is some of the best in Lexington. Fresh Market is a smaller version of Whole Foods with more competitive prices.
Lansdowne Shoppes also has a number of boutiques that specialize in high end shoes, women's clothing and jewelry. Some of the Lansdowne Shoppes are listed below with links to their contact information.
The Mad Potter, a special place unlike quite like any other in the Lansdowne Shoppes. One of their most popular classes this time of year is "The Three Glass Ornament Class." There are still two opportunities in December to participate in this class. Check out their web site and learn about classes and other opportunities at this special crafts shoppe.
Restaurants within a mile of Gainesway.
The Merrick Inn, A cozy atmosphere with great food at a little higher price.
Sals, Malone's, Drake's and Harry's four very popular restaurants at numerous locations in Lexington are also located in Lansdowne Shoppes. These are all sister eateries that are owned by The Bluegrass Hospitality Group.
Cheddars, a casual restaurant that is always packed at lunch time. Prices are very reasonable and the staff is super friendly.
The Waffle House, 3601 Walden Drive - Just off of Tates Creek Road and Armstrong Mill
Chinoe Center
This small shopping center is within walking distance of much of Gainesway. It is less than a mile for many residents and at most a couple of miles for others. My favorite shop here is "Sweet Magnolia Bakery." The Kroger grocery here is smaller but it is our favorite Kroger in Lexington. Chinoe Center is closer to the Lansdowne-Merrick Subdivision so for more info go to that specific blog by clicking on this sentence.
Tates Creek Centre - This is a larger shopping center which is located at the corner of Man of War and Tates Creek. It is not as easy to access as Lansdowne or Chinoe. I will provide information about Tates Creek Centre when I write about subdivisions that are located much nearer than Gainesway.
What schools are located in Gainesway?
The three schools nearest Gainesway are all on the same campus. Tates Creek Middle School has just been completly rebuilt and looks fantastic. I think there are plans to rebuild the elementary school also. You can click on each of the schools below to learn all about them at their web sites.
