Lafayette, Colorado
______________________________________________________________________________Located west of I-25 on the northern border of Denver, the residential real estate in Lafayette Colorado is coming into its own. As the real estate in the two large cities of Denver and Boulder grow together, Lafayette has expanded to a population of 30,000. The stable community of Lafayette CO homes is poised to become a premier Front Range community in Boulder County. The Boulder Valley School District serves the families in the area.
Newcomers find a diverse array of Lafayette CO real estate in the well-kept neighborhoods of tree-lined streets. Single-family homes range from $150,000 to over $1M, with most in the $300,000 to $400,000 bracket. Lafayette real estate options also include condominium, townhouse, and apartment communities.
Featuring a cultural and commercial center in its revitalized Old Town district, Lafayette's location near Denver's Northwest Parkway is also inviting to a new selection retail and commercial real estate that is also conveniently located along the C-470 route to Denver International Airport.
In the Colorado tradition, residents enjoy a wonderful park system and open spaces that form transitions between all Lafayette neighborhoods as well as recreational facilities and programs. Open spaces such as Heron Lake, Bullhead Gulch, The Farm, Rock Creek, and the Greenlee Wildlife Preserve are all quite handy.
The Bob L. Burger Recreation Center boasts gymnasium, racquetball courts, running track, dance studio, fitness atrium, swimming pools, and in-line skating area outdoors. The YMCA features an indoor ice-skating and hockey rink, gymnasiums, and a fitness center. There is also the Cultural Arts Center, the Miner's Museum, Senior Services, Outdoor classroom, and the Coal Creek/Rock Creek Corridor.
Waneka Lake offers boat rentals, picnic facilities, and jogging-fitness trails. An outdoor pool, picnic area, tennis courts, and athletic fields are available at LaMont Park. Golf Digest Magazine has rated the Indian Peaks Golf Course designed by Hale Irwin as one of the best in the United States.
The community hosts a variety of traditional events each year, including the Oatmeal Festival, Peach Festival, Wine Festival, and Lafayette Days. Even the library houses a cultural arts area, community meeting rooms, a children area and a park. Needless to say, adding in the recreational activities in the nearby ski resorts and Rocky Mountains, the arts, entertainment, theater, symphony, museums, festivals, and events here and in neighboring communities, residents can always find like-minded people through clubs, organizations, associations, and classes.
The thriving town was founded by Mary Miller in honor of her husband Lafayette Miller after the richest vein of coal in the Boulder Valley was discovered on the Miller Ranch. She platted a 150-acre town in 1888 and it was incorporated in 1889. It flourished for a half century until the demand for coal was replaced with natural gas when the town turned to agriculture. Mrs. Miller then founded a bank and became the first woman bank president in the world.
