One of the most popular neighborhoods in the Lafayette real estate market is Centaur Village. This community was established in the 1970´s and most of the homes in the area were built in the 70´s and 80´s. This neighborhood accesses major Hwy´s easily. It is located close to West S. Boulder Rd. and Hwy 287. It also has easy access to I-25 and Hwy 36.

When shopping for that great Lafayette home then consider looking into this community. Homes are priced right for first time buyers, but are still spacious and modern looking. Many homes have had kitchen remodels, and even include nice granite kitchen counter tops. Other homes in this area have had bath remodels, making them larger and modernizing all bathroom fixtures. Home styles here are varied. You can find two story homes, ranch style homes, and even split levels.

Residents of the area enjoy having Waneka Lake Park nearby too. This 147 acre park gives you bike paths, playground areas, picnic areas, canoing, fishing, paddle boat rentals and even skiing in the winter. Having this park nearby is really a plus for all residents.

The wonderful thing about homes in Centaur Village is that they all have a small town feel to them. You get the benefit of living in a small community, and the friendliness that comes with it, and yet be close enough to the large city, that you can get to work every day.
