Which Community Is Right For You?
Campus Court Lexington and The Wyatt both sit in Lexington's Red Mile area, both lease by the bed, and both put you a short trip from the University of Kentucky. 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 Wyatt have both come up. They're both tucked into the Red Mile neighborhood, both lease by the bed on individual 12-month agreements, and both keep you close to campus. From there, they're built for slightly different priorities: bed count, furnishing flexibility, and how rent is structured all look a little different at each one. Here's what each community offers, in their own words, so you can weigh them against what actually matters to you.
How far you are from lecture halls, and whether you'll need a car, changes your day-to-day more than almost anything else on this list.
Located on Red Mile Rd in Lexington's Red Mile neighborhood, close to the University of Kentucky campus. Residents get direct access to the Red UK Transportation Line, UK's own campus transit route, for a car-free option to and from class.
Located on Angliana Ave, also in the Red Mile area. The Wyatt advertises a 5-minute walk to campus and sits directly on the LexTran route, Lexington's citywide public transit system, for trips further into downtown.
How many roommates you're splitting rent with, and how much private and shared space you get, shapes both your budget and your day-to-day living situation.

A Guarantor Waiver Program is also available for eligible applicants. Renters insurance is required. Subletting isn't permitted, but lease reassignment is available for a fee equal to one month's rent.
12-month individual by-the-bed leases, billed in equal monthly installments. Applicants can qualify with a guarantor (3x income) or self-qualify with documented income at least 3x the rental installment.

If you need out of your lease early, you can relet the unit to a new resident; a relet fee may apply. Roommate matching is available if you don't have a full group to fill a unit.
