About Louisville
Welcome to
Louisville Colorado!
(Pronounced "Lewisville") Louisville was named the 5th best place to live in the United States in a
2005 survey by
Money Magazine.
To boot, an article in
USA Today
cites Louisville as the best city in the nation to raise a family.
Louisville CO
is about a 10 to 15 minute drive from
Boulder,
and 25 to 35 minutes from
Denver,
but prices for
Louisville CO real estate
tend to be 15% to 25% less than Boulder or Denver, so many residents don't mind the drive at all.
(The mountain views visible while driving from Louisville to Boulder make for a great way to
start the day anyway.)
The town of Louisville itself was established in 1882 by Louis Nawatny -- who owned most of
the land in the area. He platted the area, and named it after himself. It quickly became a
mining town, and if you visit Old Town Louisville, you can still see the late 19th century
charm of the town has been beautifully maintained. Downtown Louisville is still almost
completely original buildings, and the shop-owners are almost all local residents. If
you spend any time in
Old Town Louisville
shops, the friendliness of the shop owners is reminiscent of something out of "Leave it
to Beaver", or "The Andy Griffith Show".
If you're looking to buy
Louisville real estate,
average prices are in the neighborhood of the low $300,000 range. Of course, you could
get a condo starting in the low $100,000 price range. The most expensive homes in the
area rarely exceed about $900,000, and that would typically get a newer home overlooking
a lake, with views of the mountains, or overlooking one of Louisville's golf courses.
