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.
