Metro area population 600,000

Lexington is known more for horse farms than skyscrapers but it
still has a unique city core. Unlike most American cities, there are
no freeways running through downtown. The city also has a very
strong historical preservation movement. Because of these
factors, the city center has become "landlocked" between
historical residential developments thus preventing any sprawling
growth downtown. Unlike many downtowns, Lexington is small
and much of the city is easily accesible by foot.

Its not that special if you look at other american cities at that size. Most of the towers looks pretty boring, but the Financial Center is really nice. 6/10

6/10

I like the Lexington financial center building too

Nothing special of the city

7/10

Nothing interesting, but, it is pretty good considering the size of the city. I would give 6/10. It is the kind of city that you would like to just relax and admire the nature

Not much now but I think this skyline has a lot of potential. The taller towers are clustered together so gaps aren't a problem. Also, the photos show how the downtown is long and narrow. A couple of new mid size towers and the profile would be greatly enhanced.

5/10

skyline is not very spectacular, but the black building I like. To be
a city of 280,000 inhabitants and American 6,5/10.
A city very green

6.5/10

7.5/10

My city...yes very green...Lexington has been called a "City within a Park" because of the green.
Lexington does lack on the skyline...but it is growing.
Lexington still holds the title of having the tallest building on I-75 between Cincinnati and Atlanta -- 31 floors.

This city is awesome. It seems like an awesome small city. 10/10

LFC is cool, but everything else is pretty bland.

J'adore! le sept points

Lexington is a beautiful city, the skyline is small, but attractive. 7/10

Attractive more for its historic density and greenery than a soaring skyline. I like the mix of old and new. 7.

Thanks for posting. It's a 40 story mixed use tower. It's mainly residential with a hotel, condos, and a restaurant at the top. Also, there is some talk about a few ~15 story towers downtown.

A cool video of downtown Lexington I found on youtube...
