A new home should make everyday life easier, from the flow of the floorplan to what’s included the day you move in. Hearth at Millican Creek in Lafayette, OR, pairs that convenience with a relaxed wine-country setting and a thoughtfully planned 20-homesite community.
Buyers exploring Yamhill County should give Lafayette a look. Hearth offers modern one- and two-story homes near outdoor recreation, with easy access to McMinnville, Dundee and Newberg.
Located in the heart of Yamhill County, Lafayette is a quieter home base surrounded by some of the Willamette Valley’s best-known destinations. Spend an afternoon exploring wine country, make dinner plans in Dundee or head to McMinnville for shopping and dining.
Closer to home, Joel Perkins Park offers room to get outside, while Lafayette Locks Historical Park pairs shaded walking paths and picnic areas with views of the Yamhill River and historic locks. It’s an easy way to make outdoor time part of your routine.
Neighborhood strolls and a small-town atmosphere add to the appeal. When you visit, take time to explore the streets around Hearth and the walking routes that matter to you, whether it’s a park visit or an evening loop close to home.
Lafayette offers connections throughout the region, with approximate drivetime planning ranges of:
Dundee: 10–15 minutes
McMinnville: 10–15 minutes
Newberg: 20–25 minutes
Hillsboro: 40–55 minutes
Portland: 55–75 minutes
Travel times vary with traffic, route and destination, and peak-hour trips can take longer. Try your workday route at the time you’d normally drive and see how it fits.
School planning is another part of finding the right fit, too. Wascher Elementary is in Lafayette and part of the McMinnville School District, with middle and high school options in McMinnville. Confirm address-specific school assignments and transportation options directly with the district.
The purchase price is only part of the picture when comparing homes. Lennar’s Everything’s Included® package brings everyday essentials, from the refrigerator, washer and dryer to blinds, landscaping and fencing, so there’s less to buy and tackle after move-in.
When comparing Hearth with a resale home, look at what stays with each property and what you’d need to add. Having those essentials included can make a real difference to your move-in budget.
The Avery offers approximately 1,495 square feet with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, all on one level. Connected gathering areas and a covered patio create space for everyday meals, conversation and time outside.
Want more flexibility? The two-story Joyce offers approximately 1,766 square feet, three bedrooms, two and one-half bathrooms and an upstairs loft that works as a home office, movie room or a quiet place to unwind.
