Programs and Activities


Classes, Committee Work, Creative Spaces—Kendal at Lexington offers residents opportunities to do as much or as little as they want each and every day.

Residents themselves drive what happens here.
A strong Residents’ Association and committees—with input from all—plan events, manage budgets, and impact decision-making across the community.
