You Know You are From Lafayette, Indiana when ---

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty Lafayette/West Lafayette, Indiana

 

 

You know you are from  Lafayette, Indiana when:

 

 

The premier GATED COMMUNITY in Tippecanoe County only allows visitors on Sunday afternoon.

 

 

 

As far as I know the Tippecanoe County jail is our only true 100% gated community in the Greater Lafayette area.  In a way that is a compliment to our community that homeowners don't feel a need to hire security or limit access to their community by having all access points secured by gates.

If you are looking for the BIG HOUSE, other than the Tippecanoe County Jail,  please call Bruce Walter 765-418-1886 for more information on available Lafayette, Indiana homes for sale!  We can help!!!

Alan,  lots of the residents in our gated community love the free food, housing, and medical care!  It is the ultimate Social Security plan for housing!

And here I always thought a gated community was to keep the residents in so they don't bother anyone else. Live and learn.

Toni, our Tippecanoe County gated community is quite a bit different that what you are used to seeing in your parts of Florida!

Bruce, that's a good one and something to think about for anyone considering to move to your area.  There may be a few "perks" to living in that particular gated community but the "application process" may be a little to much for most people to stomach and go through.  I'd say, good for them.

Silvia, if I had to choose one I think I'd go with the gated communities in your area!  ^_~

Gwen Banta , how wonderful of you to hock your new Audi to help me out of our only gated community in Tippecanoe County!!!

I then will promise to visit Crawfordsville's only GATED COMMUNITY and send you a picture!

Bruce, you may have transportation supplied for your drive to Crawfordsville's "only gated community" - their infamous circular jail! Tell your uniformed drivers to turn on the lights and sirens for added drama! :-)

Gwen Banta  I will be sure to give the turnkey your best regards and check if your phone number in the circular cell  has changed;  now I realize why you are so familiar with Crawfordsville!  

You, no doubt, must have made numerous trips from your co-ed days at Butler to Crawfordsville  to prey upon the all male student body at Wabash College!   ^_~

Yep, Gwen Banta  that is where the script was written for The Sir George Bernard Shiv Redemption, but Hollywood changed the name.     :(
