Louisville, A Community for Kids

Louisville is not only a town, it is a "community". A community that is all about families and kids and reaching out to interact and help each other.

I absolutely love a story I just read in the local paper which highlighted a special project which is being spear headed by a mom of three, Amanda Hassenstab. She came up with a great idea of a "Community Sample Day." It is such a great idea, and one that can only come together and actually happen in a a place like Louisville which is a Community for kids and their families.

Scheduled for January 28th, the community sample day will give families an opportunity to check out up to four different classes (all for FREE) over a 2 hour period. They will get to sample each class for approximately 20 minutes. What a great idea...... getting to try out a class to determine if you actually want to take it. This is a brilliant concept and one that seems to be catching on. Children differ in so many ways including their list of what excites them and what motivates them. Sometimes they don't even know what that means, until they are exposed to something that flips that magical switch.

A number of Businesses in the Louisville community will be getting involved in this important event for the kids. (Love it when a community comes together!). The Louisville Public Library will host a story time and will be giving away books. Sassafras photography will be taking photos, Assorted goods will be giving away a Valentine's basket, free dishes of ice cream will be given out by Put A Spoon In It and..... there are likely to be even more participants by the time the event actually occurs. (For a small fee of only $25, vendors can take part in the Sample Day.)

Louisville is a unique community for sure and not just for the Kids. Louisville offers a lifestyle so appealing that it has been voted not just once, but twice by Money magazine as the best place to live and raise a family.

Louisville Colorado, Ranked #1 in U.S.

There are many small towns nestled along the Rockies that are full of pretentious eco-hipsters. Not Louisville. Ice cream shops dot the historic downtown. Families grab burgers at the cozy Waterloo Café. A Friday-night street fair, with a beer garden, live music, and games for the kids, runs all summer. No wonder this down-to-earth town has appeared high on Money's Best Places list before--and on many others.

Not to mention it's also weathering the economic downturn well. Robust industries in the area, such as high tech, energy, and health care, make county unemployment among the lowest in the state.

Having a thriving community is always a plus. I have to say I am guilty as charged. I think many would agree that one of the top reasons residents give for moving here has to be because of the great outdoors. Regardless of what part of town your on Louisville is laced with nearly 30 miles of trails, not to mention Rocky Mountain National Park is less than an hour away, and eight world-class ski resorts are within two hours.

So for those of you that are first time home buyers looking to make a great financial investment in a great affordable community look no further a home in Louisville. Many buyers nowadays are attracted to suburbs adjacent to the mountains or better known as golf course communities; but as we all know having a life style with those amenities can get pricy and a bit expensive for those that are looking for a comfortable yet affordable lifestyle. As a consumer I found that there are hidden communities that are on a "up - and rise" with many if not all amenities that we look for today's life style.

Homes in Louisville not only deliver the comfortable life style but it gives much more for a bargain of a cost compared to its surrounding cities. Now the next big concern is commuting: When commuting wither that be to Boulder or to Denver Homes in Louisville sit in a prime location where commute is not a hassle but enjoyable. There is many easy access points to any destination which makes it easy for those who have to commute to all sides of town. Bottom line is that Homes in Louisville is the better way to go for those that are looking for value, amentias, and a good financial investment.

Being a real estate professional for some time I can always answer any questions you may have. if you have any questions about Homes in Louisville or would like to go look at Homes in Louisville give me a call and lets go take a look.

Downtown Louisville, CO reminded of 9/11 in a special way

Louisville's own fire station located on Main Street received a piece of history from the 9/11 tragedy ~ a piece of rusted steel ~ a remnant of the World Trade Center. It's a reminder of all the lives lost, 10 years ago, on 9/11 and the sacrifice made by so many of New York's finest fire fighters who gave all to serve others.

The rusted segment of the world trade center will be on permanent display at the Fire Station to honor the 343 fire fighters who lost their lives on 9/11.
