Lafayette Village is a European-style village in North Raleigh. Located on over six acres off I-540 and Falls of Neuse Road, it offers locally owned gourmet restaurants and upscale shopping. Lafayette Village features patio dining along the Village Green, secure underground parking, office suites, and recurring events from live music to artist exhibits. Architecturally designed and built to depict a European village – not unlike one in France or Italy – the thematic center encourages strolls through paved walkways and quaint boutique shops 



Lafayette Village holds a very special place in my heart. When my husband and I first had the idea to relocate our family out of Colorado, we were looking for a very specific quality of life. We hopped on a plane to visit Raleigh as a possible option. We explored so many great places on that initial trip. One stand out in particular was Lafayette Village. As we sat outside basking in the sun, I could see kids running all around the green, parents sipping on craft beer from Crafty Beer Shop, moms mingling over coffee at Jubala and I felt *home*. This was the type of place I’d been looking high and low for since my kids were little. We moved to Raleigh a month later. - Nicki, Publisher at Macaroni Kid North Raleigh

5 Reasons We Love Lafayette Village:

1. The choice of enjoying coffee, beer, or wine. While. My. Kids. Play. 

2. The green space on a sunny day allows endless hours of playtime. We love bringing bubbles, balls, chalk etc. 

3. Shopping for local, unique gifts at locally-owned shops. Stuf n’ Such, Oxford Green and Trellis Beauty top our list.

4. SO many delicious, local food choices! Take your pick from crepes, sushi, pizza, noodles, and more!

5. Free, family-friendly seasonal events are hosted on the green nearly every month, such as St. Paddy's, Bastille Day and Trick or Treating in the Village.
