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. There are lush mature trees, a community pool and even an animal hospital. The remainder is a lively shopping area called Acadiana Mall. 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.
Housing ranges from $230,000 ranch styles to $3 million mansions
Living in the neighborhood offers easy access to several major roadways as well as beautiful views of the Vermillion River. There is quite a stock of both established and new housing along with available lots of varying sizes near the waterfront. Many people have been taking advantage of the space in Acadiana Wood to build customized residences, and these French Country homes primarily sport red brick and stucco facades. You’ll see plenty of Acadian and ranch-style houses too. Prices here range from $230,000 for a three-bedroom, two-bathroom ranch-style to over $3 million for a Mediterranean-inspired mansion with five bedrooms and eight baths.
Acadiana Mall offers shopping, arcade games and a children’s play zone
At the heart of the neighborhood is the Acadiana Mall. This enclosed shopping center serves the greater Acadiana region and has done for over 40 years. Opened in 1979, the mall has become an anchor of the community more than just economically. In 2005, it became the staging area for the group of volunteers known as the Cajun Navy, who rescued thousands of flooding victims during Hurricane Katrina. 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. Sushi Masa is more than a Japanese restaurant. It’s also an all-you-can-eat lunch and dinner establishment. If you’ve ever dreamed of being able to have unlimited sushi, this spot is worth waking up for. And speaking of waking up, The French Press is a breakfast, brunch and lunch eatery serving upscale versions of Louisiana favorites. Stop by for the modern comfort food and try the grits and grillades, a Cajun benedict or the boudin biscuits.
