Lafayette Heights
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
Lafayette's first subdivision, platted in 1954 with two dozen prefabricated National Homes cottages assembled between 1954 and 1958. These compact two-bedroom ranches (originally $5,150 before land) have been updated by generations of owners with garages, stone facades, and modern interiors. A hidden gem two blocks from Old Town at accessible pricing.
