Review of Lafayette, Indiana


Lafayette is a nice place to raise a family.
Star Rating - 4/26/2008
Lafayette, Indiana is across the river from Purdue University making this small town slightly more interesting. There are many opportunities for a young family, great parks, family friendly restaurants, good schools and a thriving community. There are many, many activities for your children to participate in. Purdue brings in a variety of shows that adds to the culture of the area. There is a variety of employers, which helps if one plant closes, there are still other employers in the area. Recently there has been a influx of unemployed people to the community, which has weighed heavily on our economy and social services. I expect crime to go up significantly due to this influx.

The influx has gotten worse as the crime has. I would think long and hard before moving here.
