Acadiana Wood blends residential calm with lively shopping areas
Lafayette’s Acadiana Wood neighborhood is a bit of an enigma. Over 90% of it is peaceful residences nestled between the Vermillion River and Louisiana Highway 167.

It’s surrounded by apartment buildings, eateries and entertainment opportunities. Together, these seemingly disparate parts create something greater than themselves: a nearly self-contained city within the city. Acadiana Wood seamlessly transitions from the coziness of home to the fun of recreation centers to the excitement of a great meal. Acadian Wood allows residents to live in a comfortable residential area while keeping close proximity to excellent dining and shopping options.

Open seven days a week, the center offers stroller and wheelchair rentals as well as a children’s area complete with a bungee jump trampoline, arcade and Build-a-Bear Workshop.Nearby, two of the city’s favorite restaurants are waiting to be sampled.
