The city of Lafayette is located within a gorgeous stretch of rolling hillsides between Berkeley and Walnut Creek in California’s Contra Costa County. Named after the Revolutionary War hero Marquis de Lafayette, Lafayette blossomed from a pastoral village into a prosperous commuter town during the mid-1900s. Today’s Lafayette is a haven of exquisite homes nestled among peaceful wooded communities. With an upscale small-town commercial district and oak-studded surrounding hillsides, this small city of 25,000 residents is as attractive as it is convenient.
Defined by Mediterranean, English, and French Country architecture, Lafayette’s real estate includes incredibly-crafted properties hidden along private driveways on multi-acre wooded lots. Luxury housing enclaves such as Hidden Oaks feature stunning contemporary properties with classic elegance. Gorgeous custom-built homes are a delight to discover, as breathtaking masterpieces blend seamlessly into the surrounding landscape, offering unparalleled panoramic views.
