Louisville was founded in 1882 and the iconic buildings give the town a feel of downtowns of long ago. Near Boulder, Colorado. Where you can check out a house in Boulder, Boulder Real Estate or Homes in Louisville. Louisville’s economy is nouveau tech: Technology firms are the area’s mainstay (IBM, Sun Micro, Ball, Level 3, Amgen and more). Not to mention the upcoming ConocoPhillips alternative energy campus in the works. Louisville is only 6 miles from Boulder and 22 from Denver. Outdoor living at its best. Panoramic views of the front range Rocky Mountains abound. Louisville’s 26-mile wooded biking and running path winds through much of the town. On summer Friday nights, residents head to the downtown Louisville Street Faire, for concerts, entertainment, artisans, beer and food. Saturdays head to the farmers market or in July the summer film series. A great place to live with excellent restaurants that have been here forever. Solid deals, nice people, all American type of town.
Home prices are up recently because this is one of the greatest places in America to live. Family friendly. A cool place to thrive. It can snow one day and be gone the following day. As Garrison Keillor says “where all the women are strong, the men are good looking and the children are above average.”
