There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Is this normal for Lafayette? There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

We moved here with our family and it's been a really good experience overall. Schools in West area are decent. Kids love it here.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem average.

I've been here 3 years and I genuinely enjoy living here. The thing nobody mentions is school system. It's growing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the healthcare is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is challenging.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Downtown side vs the Old Town side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Good luck with whatever you decide..
