A welcoming home for working families
“This is a neighborhood of working-class families with kids. It’s very safe. The houses here are bigger and nicer. There are no neighbors behind you because the property backs up to Ditch. Lot sizes are larger. Other neighborhoods are packed tighter,” Lee Anna Atwell says. Atwell is the Worship and Creative Arts Director of the Brady Lane Church where she’s worked for 25 years.
Brady Lane Church anchors the tiny Coldbrook neighborhood 4 miles south of downtown Lafayette, is tiny. It's comprised of four streets and four courts.
“It feels like a ‘pocket neighborhood. The houses are a little further spaced apart and a little roomier. The neighborhood itself is self-contained, and there are no thru streets. It doesn’t feel like it’s set in the middle of a neighborhood. It’s very quiet and secluded. It’s not really like ‘neighborhood;’ it’s more like if you know, you know,” Atwell says.
Homes “bigger and nicer” than nearby neighborhoods
Based in Lafayette, the National Real Estate Company built most of Coldbrook's homes. From the 1940s through the 1980s, this company sold prefabricated homes like these across the country. The homes have remained true to their original purpose of providing affordable housing, Carole King says.
A Realtor with KW, King has been selling homes in the area for 16 years.
“It’s probably still a neighborhood of starter or move-up homes. It’s peaceful and quiet, with mature trees and a great location. You’ll find traditional homes, mostly ranch. They’re well built, with some custom-built homes," Carole King says.
Ranch-styles and split-levels are the most common architectural styles, although one will occasionally find a Craftsman or Colonial-inspired two-story home. Prices range from $250,000 to $325,000.
