Peacock Farms, located between Massachusetts Avenue and the Minuteman Bikeway, is a residential and wooded Lexington neighborhood with mid-century modern streetscapes and a quiet, trail-linked feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Massachusetts Avenue corridor near Lexington Center, where independent cafes, bookstores, and civic spaces set a polished, walkable tone. Many homes lean contemporary and ranch-era, with mature trees and curving roads that soften the edges of daily routines. The Minuteman Bikeway frames local movement with a steady stream of cyclists and runners. Cary Memorial Library and the Lexington Venue anchor cultural life with talks, film, and performances. Wilson Farm adds a seasonal rhythm with farm-stand staples and greenhouse color.
