Lafayette Village is a European-style village in North Raleigh. Located on over six acres off I540 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.
