Lafayette

Lafayette is a sprawling community 22 miles outside of San Francisco, with a population just under 24,000 (as of the 2010 census). Two cities adjacent to this one are Moraga and Orinda, so the area is often referred to as “Lamorinda”. Walnut Creek and Pleasant Hill also border Lafayette.

Residents “Love Lafayette” for its hills speckled by oak trees, highly rated schools, and quality of life, to name a few. Other noteworthy aspects of the town are the hillside memorial of crosses dedicated to American soldiers who lost their lives in the Iraq war; and the historical Lafayette Park Theater.
