Overview of Ashland Terrace

Facebook Instagram

Ashland Terrace sits in the Chenault Road neighborhood of Lexington, an independent living community built around walkability. With a Walk Score of 91, it lands in Walker’s Paradise territory: residents can run daily errands on foot, and family visiting from out of town can explore the surrounding shops and services without needing a car.

The building itself is two stories, with elevators connecting the floors and private rooms for residents. Ric’s Garden sits nearby, giving the neighborhood a bit of green space to complement its walkable streets.

Day to day, residents get three meals served daily and weekly housekeeping and linen service, so cooking and cleaning aren’t things they have to think about. Weekday transportation covers trips beyond what’s walkable, and staff help with personalized shopping when residents need something specific picked up.

There’s a full slate of daily programs and activities, plus an on-site beauty salon for residents who want to stay polished without leaving the building. The library doubles as a computer space, and wireless internet reaches throughout the building for residents who want to stay connected with family online.

Ashland Terrace also welcomes pets, so residents don’t have to give up a companion animal to move in. The community’s minimum age for residency is 60.
