Our Lafayette Neighborhoods:
The map below shows a number of popular Lafayette
neighborhood areas. Many are hyperlinked to more info about those places. The white
boundary lines are only intended to be very rough approximations and do not indicate exact
boundaries.
Info provided below was obtained from usually reliable sources
but is not guaranteed.
Updated 04/06: Price range estimates are
VERY approximate and there may be exceptions in each
neighborhood. This is intended only to give a general overview of value.
Prices are rough estimates based on the past year's recorded MLS sales
and my "guesstimates" of value range. They don't reflect higher or lower
value homes that I have no knowledge of or sales that have not been
reported to our MLS. There may be some inaccuracies.
Neighborhoods with pictures have the camera icon.
Homes pictured are NOT (to my knowledge) for sale. They are used here
only as excellent examples with good curb
appeal.
