Lexington Spotlight: Local Lead Risks
Lexington’s housing stock includes a rich mix of Colonial-era homes, 19th-century Victorians, and notable Mid-Century Modern houses like those in Turning Mill and Peacock Farm neighborhoods. Many of these homes still contain original trim, windows, and painted surfaces that may harbor lead-based paint beneath layers of newer finishes.
Renovations and additions are common in Lexington’s housing market, and disturbing old surfaces can release lead dust if not managed correctly. A licensed lead inspection is crucial for any family with young children, or for landlords preparing rental properties for occupancy.
