Patty,
As you are probably aware, last year, Louisville was voted by money magazine as the third best place in the nation to live and the absolute BEST place to raise a family.
Louisville is a very active community with a median age of 35. Just over 35 percent of the community is between 25-44 years of age and 25% are between 45-64 years of age. We enjoy about 275 days of sunshine each year with an average elevation of 5,350 ft. The city has 1,280 acres of open space, 27 parks, 22 miles of trails a 12-screen movie theater, 11 public tennis courts, 4 lighted baseball/soccer/football fields, an award-winning, 6,957 yard golf course, some of best schools in the nation, a low crime rate and a real home-town atmosphere.
Home values in Louisville have historically appreciated or maintained value and generally sell very quickly as Louisville continues to be a very desirable community. Home sales taxes are approximately 1% of total property values.
Louisville is uniquely located close to Boulder, within an easy commute to Denver (via US Highway 36), close to some of the best shopping available (Flatirons shopping mall), within 40 miles of the Denver International Airport and within 110 miles of 10 different ski areas.
Having lived in the area for over 33 years and raising our children here, I can personally attest to Louisville being an exceptional community I would recommend to just about anyone. Give me a call or email me if you are looking for more specific information from your prospective neighbors in the immediate proximity to the property you are considering, I would be pleased to assist you.
Best of luck.
