Is there a low-maintenance townhome for sale in Lafayette, CO near downtown?
Yes. 753 Casper Dr is a 2-bedroom, 2-bath townhome in Lafayette's Coal Creek Village with fully owned solar panels, a two-car attached garage, a private terrace, and HOA-covered exterior maintenance.
For many buyers, the right Lafayette townhome for sale comes down to three things: location, low upkeep, and a layout that actually works day to day. 753 Casper Dr, listed by The Bernardi Group, checks all three. It sits in a tree-lined neighborhood near downtown Lafayette, offers 2005 construction, and comes with owned solar, which is a feature buyers often ask about but rarely find in this price range.
The listing calls it "The Lafayette Terrace Townhome." Below, our Realtors walk through the home level by level, cover the HOA details, and share what buyers should know about this Lafayette real estate opportunity.
Where Is 753 Casper Dr?
The townhome is in the Coal Creek Village neighborhood in Lafayette, in Boulder County. According to the listing, it is near downtown Lafayette, next to a neighborhood pocket park, and close to the local water park. It is within city limits on a paved street with sidewalks.
Lafayette has grown into one of the most popular places to live in east Boulder County, known for its walkable Old Town area along Public Road, local restaurants, and access to trails and open space. For buyers who want to be in Boulder County with a small-town feel, Lafayette is a natural fit.
Inside the Home: Three Levels, One Easy Flow

Fully Owned Solar Panels
One of the most practical features of this Lafayette townhome is its solar system. The MLS lists a 4.26 kW photovoltaic system installed in 2018, and the listing notes that the panels are fully owned, not leased.
Owned solar can be simpler at resale than leased solar, because there is no lease agreement to transfer to a new owner. Actual energy savings depend on usage, utility rates, and system performance, so ask for available utility history during your review. For questions about tax treatment or incentives related to solar, speak with a qualified tax professional.
Other comfort features listed in the MLS include central air, a whole-house fan, forced-air heating, and fire sprinklers.
HOA Details: What Is Covered?
This property has two HOAs, both managed by Westwind Management, according to the MLS:
- Coal Creek Village Masters: $125
- Coal Creek Attached HOA: $349.05
According to the listing, the association fees include:
- Exterior maintenance
- Hazard insurance
- Snow removal
- Lawn care
- Common amenities, including a play area and common recreation and park area
- Common utilities
- Management
For buyers who want to spend weekends on the trails instead of on yard work and roof repairs, this level of coverage is a real advantage. As with any HOA community, review the budget, reserves, and covenants before you close. Both HOAs have reserves and covenants in place, according to the MLS.
Living in Lafayette, Colorado

Residents often mention a few things they like about living here:
- Old Town Lafayette. The area along Public Road is home to local shops, restaurants, and community events throughout the year.
- Trails and open space. Lafayette connects to a network of trails and open space, including routes along Coal Creek.

Townhome Living: Why More Buyers Are Choosing It
Townhomes like 753 Casper Dr appeal to a wide range of buyers. Compared to a single-family home, a townhome with a strong HOA can mean less time spent on exterior repairs, snow removal, and yard work. Compared to a condo, a townhome often offers more private space, including features like an attached garage and a private terrace.
The tradeoff is HOA fees and rules, so it pays to understand exactly what is covered. At 753 Casper Dr, the HOA coverage is broad, which is part of what makes this home a practical option.
