Welcome to Lafayette

A trendy and family-oriented community in the Bay Area

Located 18 miles east of San Francisco, Lafayette is known for its beautiful weather, fantastic community, outdoor recreation opportunities, and highly-rated schools. With over 24,000 residents, Lafayette is made of several distinct neighborhoods within 15 square miles, a few include Happy Valley, Burton Valley, Hidden Valley, Reliez Valley, Spring Hill, Downtown, and the Trail neighborhood. With dozens of family-owned businesses, restaurants, boutiques, art galleries, and the top-rated Lafayette Park Hotel and Spa, the area is bursting with activity and provides a friendly, welcoming atmosphere to those searching for a new neighborhood to call home.


In 1857, Lafayette was officially declared a town with the addition of the local post office and later became a location for the Pony Express in the 1860s. Over the years, the town grew from a small agricultural village to a commuter town and was then incorporated in the 1960s. Today, the small, urban city of Lafayette affords a hip environment in the Bay Area, offering culturally rich events and incredible dining opportunities.
