Barr Lake Homes for Sale

Barr Lake is defined by water. A 60-acre neighborhood lake sits at the center of the community, giving this section of Lexington a recreational edge that is hard to duplicate in a conventional subdivision. Kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, fishing, and a lakeside dock shape the neighborhood identity, while the community median price of $520,000 keeps Barr Lake in Lexington's upper-middle tier.

Community Highlights

Barr Lake is overwhelmingly a single-family neighborhood, and the housing stock reads as recent and substantial. Community records place construction between 2016 and 2025, with homes averaging about 4.4 bedrooms and 3.7 bathrooms. Most floor plans lean large, with open living areas, oversized kitchen islands, butler's pantries, bonus or media rooms, walk-in closets, guest suites, and gas fireplaces showing up regularly. Garages and basements are nearly universal, appearing on 43 of 44 records.

Architecturally, Craftsman influences show up often, especially in front-porch entries, trim work, and mixed formal-plus-open layouts. Brick is common, particularly on some earlier and premium-position homes, but exterior finishes are mixed rather than uniform across the neighborhood. Lot sizes usually land around a quarter acre, although Barr Lake also includes bigger cul-de-sac and waterfront parcels, plus an estate-scale 1.82-acre homesite.
