As a student who moved from Los Angeles to Lexington without knowing anyone here, it’s a very save and cute city! I’ve been here for 3 years, downtown is cute, (though one specific part has some homeless people). Overall, Lexington is a good size city for someone’s first time living away from home, everyone is nice and I’ve felt very safe!

Lexington really is a relative safe city. We are essentially a college town so any and everyone is invested in sports. I'd be lying if I said there is no crime, but you will be perfectly safe using street smarts. We thrive on hospitality and people mostly have a good intentions.
