Our Take
Lexington’s 40507 offers a decent price point and lots of schools, but its walkability is virtually zero and the median income is barely half the median home price. Driving is the only sensible option and you’ll face a fairly competitive housing market. If you’re okay with commuting and the higher cost of homeownership, it might work, but otherwise consider looking elsewhere.
