If you've been keeping an eye on new neighborhoods and development in Madison County, Kentucky, there's a new community worth knowing about!

Amanda Marcum recently took to the road for another episode of On the Road with MARCUMsold, this time exploring Englewood, one of the newest residential subdivisions in Northern Madison County.

Located just off Lexington Road, between Interstate 75 exits 95 and 97, Englewood offers a convenient location for those who want to be close to Richmond and the surrounding Central Kentucky area.

Take a Drive Through Englewood

Join Amanda as she drives through Englewood and gives you a firsthand look at this developing neighborhood. The community is currently in Phase One, and while future development has not been confirmed, there is the possibility of additional phases down the road.

Whether you're considering building a home or looking for an existing home in the neighborhood, it's worth taking a closer look at what Englewood has to offer.

What to Know About Building in Englewood

Englewood has architectural guidelines and deed restrictions intended to maintain a consistent appearance throughout the neighborhood. If you're considering purchasing a lot or building here, there are a few important requirements to understand.

Home Size and Design Requirements

The minimum home size depends on the style of home being constructed:

  • One-story homes must have a minimum of 1,800 square feet.

  • Two-story homes must have a minimum of 2,000 square feet, with at least 1,200 square feet on the ground floor.

  • One-and-a-half-story homes must have a minimum of 2,000 square feet, with at least 1,200 square feet on the ground floor.

  • All homes must have a roof pitch of at least 8/12.

  • Split-foyer homes are not permitted.

  • Every home must have an attached two-car garage with a minimum of 400 square feet.

Finished basements, garages, breezeways, and porches do not count toward the minimum square footage requirements.

Exterior Materials and Appearance

Englewood has specific exterior material requirements to help maintain a cohesive neighborhood appearance.

  • Homes must be constructed primarily of brick and/or stone.

  • Approved siding, such as Hardie plank, may be used in certain accent areas.

  • Exterior colors must follow the community's earth-tone guidelines.

Additional Property Guidelines

There are also restrictions regarding additional structures, fencing, swimming pools, pets, and rentals.

  • One additional storage shed or detached garage is permitted, subject to size, foundation, material, and design requirements.

  • Fencing is limited to black chain link and cannot exceed five feet in height.

  • In-ground swimming pools and commercially available spas or hot tubs require prior developer approval. Above-ground pools are not permitted.

  • A maximum of three pets is allowed per lot.

  • Short-term rentals, including Airbnb and VRBO, are prohibited. Any rental must be for a minimum term of one year.

Landscaping must also be completed within 90 days of occupancy.

These are highlights of the neighborhood restrictions, not a substitute for reviewing the complete deed restrictions and applicable requirements before purchasing a lot or beginning construction.

Location Is a Big Part of the Appeal

One of Englewood's notable features is its location in Northern Madison County.

Situated off Lexington Road between I-75 exits 95 and 97, residents have convenient access to Richmond, Lexington, shopping, dining, employment, and other Central Kentucky destinations.

Another important detail for prospective buyers and builders: Englewood is served by public sewer.
