Lafayette also has great schools, a state-of-the-art library, a variety of downtown restaurants and shops and provides great opportunities for new businesses.
Yesterday, on our warm January day (55+ degrees), I ventured over to Wanake Lake Park. It is a park that offers the young and the young at heart, opportunity to enjoy the lake, the playground, park and of course the path that encircles the entire lake. Whether biking, jogging or walking is your passion, you can get a bit of exercise while taking in a little nature and the outdoors. Even the geese were enjoying the bright sunshine yeyesterday as they padded over the ice the is crusting a portion of the lake. And, of course, Wanaka Lake Park is a dog-friendly park.

Worth taking note: inventory is down, number of sales and average sales price are up, average days on the market is down. Combined...... it is a "Perfect storm" for home owners to be selling their homes. And... Buyer's this would be a good time to take advantage of Lafayette's home prices before they go up further. Lafayette is an affordable alternative to Boulder and Lousiville with so much to offer.
