Neighborhood Spotlight: Richmond Farms, Lexington SC
Richmond Farms is not too pricey, not too sprawling, but packed with the comforts locals crave. Tucked behind Lexington High School and only a quick cruise to Lowes Foods and Starbucks. This pocket neighborhood blends small‑town friendliness with big‑time convenience. Richmond Farms is also zoned for Lexington One schools.
Quick Snapshot
| Stat | What It Means |
| Active list prices | About $230k – $295k for 3‑ to 5‑bedroom homes. |
| Median sale price | Roughly $177k over the past year. This is well below Lexington’s average $303k, which buyers love |
| Square‑foot range | 1,300 – 2,600 sq ft, plenty for that home office or bonus room. |
| Build years | Mid‑2000s through late‑2010s, so you’ll see both early builders and fresh renovations. |
| HOA | Covers pool, playground, basketball court, and sidewalks, without the higher dues many new subdivisions charge. |
Location & Layout
Set just off Barr Road behind Lexington High, Richmond Farms is five minutes from interstate access (I‑20), groceries, and enough take‑out options to fuel a long weekend. Walk the dog past Clinton Sease Farm in fall, or load up the kayak for Lake Murray in under fifteen minutes.
Homes & Curb Appeal
Expect traditional and Craftsman‑inspired facades. Think neutral siding, brick accents, and friendly front porches made for rocking chairs. One‑story ranches mingle with two‑story floor plans, most offering garages and fenced yards bigger than you’d guess from the street.
Amenities
- Community pool
