About Ballard Place, LLC
Ballard Place, LLC is a HUD-assisted rental property in Lexington, Kentucky. According to HUD's Multifamily Properties (Assisted) dataset, the building has 132 total units, of which 132 receive federal rental assistance under Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance and Sec 8 NC.
