Louisville

Located just 10 miles east of Boulder, Colorado, lovely Louisville — pronounced Lewisville — is a wonderfully livable community offering over 1,700 acres of open space, top-rated schools, and a fantastic array of local amenities. Here, you’ll find a captivating charm that seamlessly intertwines its rich heritage with modern-day allure. Steeped in history, Louisville’s well-preserved downtown area boasts an array of quaint, century-old buildings that house a delightful mix of boutique shops, inviting eateries, and vibrant art galleries. The city has received the attention of many best cities lists, including Money magazine’s “Best Places to Live in America” and Family Circle’s “Best Towns for Families” list.

Louisville was established by coal miners when the Welch Mine became the first of many to open in the area. Local landowner and coal mine engineer Louis Nawatny named the region after himself, and the town was incorporated in 1882. Today, the City of Louisville is home to 21,226 residents that enjoy the small town feel and tight knit community.

Homes in Louisville range from modest apartments and condominiums to charming single family homes, sprawling estates, and golf course homes. With easy access to both Boulder and Denver, Louisville is an idyllic suburban retreat with much to offer.
