About Palomar
Palomar is the area covered by the Palomar Hills Community Association in southwest Lexington, off Harrodsburg Road near Man o' War Boulevard. The association places it on the eastern edge of Mill Ridge Farm, and its boundary takes in about 200 acres. Palomar Centre is the shopping center that carries the name, on Harrodsburg Road. It sits outside every registered neighborhood association boundary, Palomar's included, so it is a neighbor to the neighborhood rather than part of it. The association runs a clubhouse surrounded by three pools, plus tennis and basketball courts, a volleyball court, a playground and a walking trail. Homeowners in good standing can reserve the clubhouse. All of Palomar is in the 40513 zip code and collects trash on Thursday. It is in council district 9.
