Lafayette

Lafayette is a forward thinking and growing community that takes pride in its small town atmosphere. It is a community of 24,000 nestled in the rolling hills of Colorado's magnificent Front Range. Location is one of Lafayette's major assets. Found in the southeast Boulder County, Lafayette is 18 miles north of Denver and 10 miles east of Boulder. It is close enough to these metro cities to enjoy their entertainment and amenities, but still far enough away to keep its distinct hometown feeling and that quality of life that residents treasure. If you want to shop, Lafayette is the place. There are a variety of products and services available right in town. From major retail department stores to quaint specialty shops - it's all in Lafayette!

Lafayette is proud to be a part of the widely recognized Boulder Valley School District whose goal is to ensure excellent academic growth for students.  Lifelong learning is the goal and every child is encouraged to reach his or her highest potential.  Educational opportunities in Lafayette include nationally acclaimed day care and preschools, four elementary schools, an award-winning middle school, a recently expanded high school, a private college preparatory school and a K-12 Charter school.
