Lafayette's historic core, a walkable grid of 1890s-era miners' cottages and early-1900s bungalows alongside modern infill townhomes and condos. Public Road anchors the dining and brewery scene (Great Divide, The Post, Teocalli Tamale), while a farmers market and creative district round out the small-town vibe. Median listing around $700K, with restored Victorians and new builds pushing past $1 million.
