Lexington, SC Real Estate and Neighborhoods
West of Columbia, with Lake Murray and downtown Lexington in 29072 and newer subdivisions in 29073.
Living in Lexington, SC
Lexington SC neighborhoods split into two residential ZIP codes, and they behave like two different markets. ZIP code 29072 takes in downtown Lexington and the Lake Murray corridor, with older streets, golf and lake communities, and custom homes. ZIP code 29073 covers the White Knoll and Red Bank areas, where most of the recent building has happened and prices start lower.
Lexington sits west of Columbia in Lexington County, connected by I-20 and US-378. One detail trips up a lot of buyers: a Lexington mailing address does not always mean the home is inside the Town of Lexington, so we check town limits for any home where it matters, such as for taxes or town services.

How Taylored Realty Team serves Lexington
Taylored Realty Team is Terry and Yolanda Taylor, REALTORS® with more than 40 years of combined experience across the Midlands. When we price or search in Lexington, we never treat it as one market. A home in 29072 is compared with 29072 sales, and a home in 29073 with 29073 sales, because the median sold price between the two differed by more than $100,000 over the last year.
Sellers in Lexington get the same launch as every one of our listings: three prices with a net sheet, a pre-listing inspection, professional photos and video, a website for the home, and paid social ads. Buyers get a search built around the ZIP code that fits their budget and commute. You can read more about the area in living in Lexington, SC.
Lexington neighborhoods and communities
29072: Lake Murray, downtown, and custom homes. Saluda River Club, Barr Lake, Golden Hills, and Bent Creek Plantation are among the communities buyers ask about, along with the streets around downtown Lexington and Old Cherokee Road. 29072 is building too: the busiest subdivisions last year included Hendrix Farms, Carriage Estates, Ferry Grove, and Cross Creek Villas, where nearly every home sold was built in 2024 or later, alongside Saluda River Club and Barr Lake. Homes near the water form their own segment, with 50 sales of $1 million or more in this ZIP over the last year.
29073: White Knoll, Red Bank, and new construction. Bluefield was the busiest subdivision in 29073 last year, followed by Copper Crest, Ashton Lakes, the Ridge at Longview, and South Lake Commons. Many of these are newer communities, which is why nearly half of the homes sold here were built in 2024 or later. Hidden Springs and the older streets of White Knoll and Red Bank round out the area.
Subdivision boundaries and ZIP codes do not always line up, so we confirm both for any home you are considering.
