Lexington Real Estate

Lexington, Texas is about 50 miles northeast of Austin, and 55 miles west of Bryan/College Station, in Lee County. The community has approximately 1,200 residents, who are the foundation of the town.

The Economic Development Corporation holds meetings once a month and the public is welcome to attend. The group awards a grant to small firms that qualify for funding. The purpose is to keep local merchants thriving, as they constitute the majority of employers in Lexington. Economic development benefits everyone in the community, and we are enthusiastic about progress.

Living in Lexington

Thanks to our small-town roots, Lexington natives are constantly going above and beyond to celebrate the town, while helping sustain a close-knit feeling. Most events that appear on our community calendar help support our neighbors in ways that include financial contributions or volunteering time.

Local landmark: Snow's BBQ, which received national recognition from The New Yorker Magazine, as well as state-wide from Texas Monthly. They're only open on Saturdays from 8:00 am until the meat runs out, which is usually around noon. But, you can order online in case you missed the Saturday rush.

Lexington Homecoming Fun

Arguably the biggest event in Lexington is our Homecoming Celebration. Currently running for over 50 years, the festivities occur in the spring, and some of the features include CPRA Rodeo, Class Reunions, Various Food Vendors, Antique Tractor Show, Classic Car and Truck Show, and a parade that usually has a theme associated with it.

During that time our beauty pageants for Mr./Ms. Lexington and Mr./Ms. Homecoming take place, all ages are welcome to participate. Winners walk away with scholarship funds or other prizes.

It's difficult to be part of a big gathering in Texas and not host a BBQ Cookoff. Lee County residents compete for the Go Texan bragging rights. The BBQ Cookoff auction portion raises money for the Chamber of Commerce. Some plates yield high bids of over $500. A couple of ways to help burn off all that tasty BBQ is through the street dances with live music from local artists, and a 5K run/walk presented by the Lexington Rotary Club.

We love to support our local artisans by providing space for their vendor and craft booths that help sell their wares or raise money for their organization. Booths include more food options and games for willing participants.

Other civic happenings include:

• Memorial Day Celebration
• Fish Fry to raise money for the local fire department
• City-wide garage sales
• Cattle auction takes place at 12:30 PM each Saturday

New construction homes dot the landscape as well. Our exemplary school system attracts families from neighboring cities, and they bring new construction ideas along with them.
