SperlingViews - Louisville, Colorado

Louisville, CO has been a tremendous place for our family (2 kids, 9 and 12) to live. Small town living/values with nearly no crime, good locally owned restaurants/stores and a well-educated, sophisticated populace in close proximity to Boulder and Denver. Schools are excellent, people are friendly/polite and local government is well run and efficient. Fantastic recreational opportunities abound both outdoors and through the public recreation facilities. Louisville and next-door Lafayette are exactly what I've sought for our family's lifestyle. Wouldn't trade it![read more...]

Housing prices in Boulder County [we're only 8 miles from Boulder] are so high that a single person can't afford to buy even a condominium, unless you move here with a sizable nest-egg. I'd agree that otherwise the quality of life here is quite pleasant, but affordable housing is a significant issue in this area.[read more...]
