Introduction
About Lafayette, California

Lafayette, California offers an idyllic environment with a blend of diverse topography, small town atmosphere, established neighborhoods and access to a variety of recreational activities.  What began as a farming community has grown into one of the most sought after communities in the East Bay.

Very little is expected to change in this community of lovely homes and attractive retail and service establishments that include art galleries, bakeries, nurseries, clothing boutiques and bookstores.  Beautiful homes have been constructed throughout the rolling hills, giving residents a sense of privacy and integrity within the landscape.  In Lafayette, California one can find a few apartment and condominium projects interspersed among a wide range of single family homes from the modest to the grand.
