Quiet residential sophistication meets hometown excitement and a flourishing downtown in one of the San Francisco Bay Area's most desirable communities.

For Living. For Business. For You.

Centrally located amongst the East Bay hills, Lafayette exudes a quiet rural atmosphere. Lush, tree-lined residential areas surround a thriving downtown which includes smaller homes, apartments, BART station, churches, a library, theaters, some of California's top schools, a flourishing retail and commercial business community and the famed Lafayette Reservoir.

Lafayette projects its distinctiveness in many ways: diverse topography, small town atmosphere, access to a variety of recreational activities and established neighborhoods. Throughout the community from downtown districts to hidden valleys, there is an obvious emphasis on preservation of the natural surroundings. There is an emphasis on maintaining a well-balanced distribution of services and products as witnessed in the town's huge variety of shops, restaurants, entertainment venues and specialty stores. There is a tangible emphasis on community as seen in the services, activities and associations that support and define Lafayette's exceptional texture.
