I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Homes are going for about $647,600 on average. With a population of 30,471, Lafayette is a smaller city. Property taxes are high but you get good services. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The food scene here is surprisingly good. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The weather takes some getting used to. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Property taxes are high but you get good services. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.
