Which Community Is Right For You?
Campus Court Lexington and The Stretch both sit on Red Mile Road, a short trip from UK. This guide walks through how each one is set up, so you can figure out which fits how you actually want to live.
If you've been apartment hunting near UK, chances are Campus Court Lexington and The Stretch have both come up. They're about a quarter mile apart on the same road, both lease by the bed, and both put you a short trip from campus. From there, they're built for slightly different priorities. Here's what each one offers, so you can weigh them against what actually matters to you.
Both are close. The main difference is how you get from your front door to class.
Less than a mile from UK and downtown Lexington, with direct access to the Red UK Transportation Line for a car-free commute. Also close to South Broadway Marketplace and the Simpson Center.
Roughly 0.7 miles from campus, an easy walk for students who'd rather skip the bus. Same general Red Mile Road corridor and nearby retail.
The biggest structural difference between the two: how many ways there are to configure your living space.
| 1 Bed | 525–600 sq ft |
| 2 Bed (apt or townhome) | 850–1,200 sq ft |
| 3 Bed (apt or townhome) | 1,200–1,400 sq ft |
Ten total layouts, including classic, renovated, deluxe, and garden-style options, plus the choice of furnished or unfurnished.
| 2 Bed | ~982 sq ft |
| 4 Bed | ~1,294 sq ft |
Two layouts total, fully furnished only. A simpler decision if you already know your roommate count.
Both approaches are common in student housing. It comes down to whether you'd rather have a lower base rent or one flat number to budget around.
Water is included in rent. Electric is billed separately through a submetering service, tying your bill to actual usage.
Rent and utilities are bundled into one monthly payment, which simplifies budgeting since there's a single number to plan around each month.
Both lean into resort-style outdoor space; where they diverge is in social and study space versus pool-day extras.
- Resort-style pool, fitness center, study rooms
- Game room and resident lounge with TVs
- Complimentary coffee bar
- Dog park, pet-friendly
- 24/7 emergency maintenance
- Pool with hot tub and sundeck
- 24-hour fitness center, cyber cafe
- Outdoor grilling stations
- Roommate-matching program
