Louisville, Colorado has been voted one of the best places to live in America time and again, largely due to its unique combination of small town living, its well-known Old Town Main Street, shopping, restaurants, recreation opportunities, and much more – plus, LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Located next to Boulder and only 30 minutes from Denver, you can take a Sunday morning stroll down the quaint historic streets of downtown Louisville, have brunch, and then head down to the Broncos stadium for a game that afternoon. Niche’s 2021 rankings of the best school districts in the Denver area ranks The Boulder Valley School District at #1, and the Colorado economy has been booming away, drawing more people to the state every year – just two more reasons why this little town of just over 20,000 has stayed at or near the top of the “best places to live” list for so long!
Being one of the best places to live in America, as you might expect, comes at a cost. The avearage price for a 3 bed 2 bath single family home in Lousiville is approximately $748,000, with condos and townhomes having a smaller pricetag.
Lafayette, Colorado, located only 10 minutes from Louisville, is a great little town that is often in the shadow of Louisville from a national perspective. At 29,000 people, it also has that small town feel, and is ideally located between both Denver and Boulder and within the Boulder Valley School District. Lafayette’s downtown is also charming and historical and has come a long way in the past few years.
While housing in Lafayette is not as expensive as Louisville or Boulder, a 3 bedroom 2 bath home in Lafayette will set you back $575,000 on average. Condos and townhomes can also be found for considerably less.
