What I call “Downtown Lafayette” encompasses neighborhoods served by Lafayette Elementary School and represents perhaps the most diversified housing options available in Lafayette. Here you’ll find larger custom homes with graceful architecture and fabulous indoor/outdoor appeal, modest ones with manicured lawns, and many others in between. There are also condominiums and rental apartments.
A major draw for all is the proximity to our thriving downtown, BART, the Lafayette Library and Learning Center, the bike trail and, of course, our excellent schools. In addition to the school fields, there are intimate neighborhood parks to play in and creeks to explore.
Housing locations also vary from traditional tree-lined streets that weave through the walking trail to more secluded neighborhoods with larger lots created to accommodate backyard pools and enticing gardens.
“Residents are drawn to Downtown Lafayette neighborhoods for their charm, tree-lined streets, and the close-in location known for amazing access to schools, trails, commute routes, BART, popular cafes, and shopping. Everything needed is close by!” —Mary
"Mary was absolutely amazing. We had a hard time not just finding a home that was right for us but also the area. Every couple of months we changed what city we were searching in. Mary was very knowledgeable in all the different areas. And was very patient the whole way through. When it came down to start putting in offers, Mary knew exactly how to make our offer shine above the several others we were in competition with. Her local relationships, tenacity, and unique people skills got us the house we wanted when we were competing with 10+ other well qualified buyers. Another thing that made Mary especially valuable and helpful to us is her long experience as a real estate attorney. She clearly knows her stuff when it comes to real estate contracts, and when we had a legal question/issue that came up during our purchase, Mary gave us super sound legal advice we would have otherwise had to engage an attorney to figure out. That alone saved us thousands of dollars. Overall cannot recommend Mary highly enough. We would have been completely lost without Mary."
