It includes a mix of some older more mature areas with wooded lots to the more spread out farming areas by Erie and Lafayette. Several tech companies have begun to line the corridor between Denver and Boulder lots of employement to the area. E470 provides good access around the area in addition to the Boulder turnpike and I-25 heading to the north.
Types of homes
There is a large mix of home from condos and town homes to single family home and some large plots of land on the northern section of town.
