Boulder isn't the only Front Range town to be named one of the Best Places to Live in the U.S. Lovely Louisville also has that distinction. It's historic downtown features 100-year-old wooden buildings, yoga studios, restaurants, coffee shops and a charming outdoor ice-skating rink in the winter. Louisville has significant business parks and serves as headquarters for nationally known companies, including Gaia, RGS Energy, and GHX. With 32 miles of trails weaving in and out of Louisville, it's another CO outdoorsy town. Louisville has an active music scene highlighted by the annual August Street Faire. And great schools.!
