Gogo's take on Tuscany
“Go. Tuscany is a peaceful, upscale suburban residential neighborhood in southeastern Lexington that is exceptionally safe. While strictly residential and car-dependent, violent crime is practically nonexistent and visitors can expect a quiet, secure environment.”
About the area
Tuscany is a modern master-planned subdivision located near Lexington's bustling Hamburg corridor. It features well-maintained single-family homes, manicured lawns, and quiet residential loops with immediate access to I-75 and regional shopping.

Reasons to go, and reasons to think twice
Pros
- Extremely low rates of violent and property crime compared to Lexington and national averages.
- Affluent economic profile with high homeownership and well-maintained modern housing stock.
- Immediate proximity to major medical facilities, dining, and retail centers at Hamburg Pavilion.
- Quiet, low-traffic neighborhood streets with comprehensive sidewalk coverage for casual walking.
Cons
- Strictly suburban with virtually no retail, restaurants, or attractions within walking distance.
- Occasional opportunistic crimes such as unlocked vehicle larcenies common to quiet suburbs.
- Negligible public transit access directly inside the subdivision.
Homelessness: Visible homelessness is not a notable presence in Tuscany, as it is an exclusively residential suburban development away from service centers and major transit nodes.
