Lafayette we are here! What was once a pit-stop for the Pony Express is now an upscale residential community just east of the San Francisco Bay Area.
Lafayette boasts all the amenities of small-town life: good schools, low crime rates, a manageable downtown and a mild climate. For much of its history, it was a quiet farming village, but like many other small communities surrounding San Francisco, the post World War II boom brought a flood of new homes.
City planners are in the middle of a redevelopment plan that aims to modernize downtown without losing its original character.
