Which Community Is Right For You?
Campus Court Lexington and Royal Lexington both come up in the same search for off-campus housing near the University of Kentucky. Here's a side-by-side look at how each one is actually set up.
Six floor plan types spanning 1-bedroom apartments through 3-bedroom townhomes, individually leased by the bed.
Fully furnished 3 and 4-bedroom apartments with enhanced-privacy layouts, individually leased.
They sit on opposite sides of the same general corridor near campus, both lease to students individually rather than as a group, and both put you within a few minutes of UK. From there, they're built for fairly different priorities: one leans into layout variety and included utilities, the other leans into furnished convenience and a larger built-in social structure. The table below walks through the real differences category by category.

| Location & Commute Shapes your daily routine and how easy it is to catch a game or show on short notice. | Located at 935 Red Mile Rd, a purpose-built student community off the Red Mile corridor, a short drive from UK's campus. | Located at 695 Winnie Street in the University of Kentucky neighborhood, near the same Red Mile bus corridor, with walking access to Rupp Arena, Memorial Coliseum, and Commonwealth Stadium, plus convenient access to Bluegrass Community and Technical College. | ||||||||||||
| Floor Plans Depends on how many roommates you want and how much privacy you want within the unit. |
Six layout types, from solo 1-bedroom apartments up through 3-bedroom townhomes, in both apartment-style and two-story townhome-style layouts. The Deluxe Townhome includes a private en-suite bathroom for every bedroom.
