For those considering a move to the Lexington area, the communities served by Southmont Elementary School offer a range of housing options along and near High Rock Lake.

Living in the Lexington Area

Lexington sits in the center of Davidson County, roughly midway between Winston-Salem to the north and Salisbury to the south. US-29 and US-70 provide the primary road connections through and around the city, making commutes manageable in multiple directions. Interstate 85 runs along the southern edge of the county and opens up access to the broader Piedmont region.

The High Rock Lake corridor is a defining feature of the landscape in this part of Lexington. The lake and its surrounding shoreline create a geography that shapes where neighborhoods are built and how residents spend time outdoors. Boating, fishing, and shoreline recreation are common activities for those who live nearby.

Downtown Lexington offers dining, local shops, and community events. The city is widely known for its barbecue tradition, and several long-standing restaurants anchor the local food scene. Grocery stores, pharmacies, hardware retailers, and medical facilities are accessible throughout the city, keeping everyday errands straightforward for residents in the Southmont area.

Waterfront and lake-access options can be found in neighborhoods such as Mountain Shore, Woodhaven Shores, Edgewater, Heritage Shores, Point Harbor, Yachtsmans Point, Stoney Point Harbor, Hi Roc Shores, and Waterford Pointe. Inland residential options include Sel Brook Farm, Oakwood Acres, Old Fox Run, Briar Creek, Mountain Ridge, Stone Briar, Buddle Heights, Fox Creek, Riverwood, and River Oaks.
