Arnould Heights
Ranch-style homes dominate this quiet, well-kept neighborhood
Walking along the well-maintained and shaded sidewalks of Arnould Heights, you’ll notice the houses are just as meticulously cared for. Apartments, condos, town houses and single-family residences fill the area, although the most popular dwellings are still ranch-style houses built in the 1970s or later. Not many homes come to the market at once here as Cindy Herring, Broker and Owner of Cindy Herring Real Estate points out. “Arnould Heights currently only has one active listing with a price of $99 per square foot of living area along with one pending sale for a home with 1,327 square feet for $136 per square foot.” She further explains, “There were three homes sold last year, and their average price was $111 per square foot. Many of the houses there range from 1800 to 2000 square feet of living space.” Even with limited housing stock, the neighborhood is proving popular with those looking for single-family detached dwellings or for townhouses and condos. In fact, a two-bedroom condo starts in the $105,000 price range while a regular ranch-style residence with three bedrooms lists for $215,000.Lafayette Parish School System offers environmental programs
Children in Arnould Heights can attend schools in the Lafayette Parish School System, Louisiana’s second most diverse and sixth largest school system. S.J. Montgomery Elementary has a dedicated English as a Second Language program and has earned a grade of B-minus from the education ranking website, Niche. Lafayette Middle School partnered with the National Wetlands Center and the National Marine Fisheries Center to create an Environmental Science Academy to teach children through hands-on learning about the state’s unique ecosystems and how to save them. Lafayette High has earned a grade of A-minus from Niche as well as being ranked as one of the best college preparatory schools in the state.Pools, playing fields and playgrounds at Arnould Heights parks
Residents of the neighborhood don’t have to venture far to find some of Lafayette’s finest green spaces. Neyland Park spans 30 acres and includes a recreation center with an indoor Olympic-sized pool. Fans of baseball can play whole games or just get in some practice at the batting cages. Chargois Park has a large open area for play as well as soccer fields, a walking track and a playground complete with baby equipment. Covered picnic areas make a great way to beat the heat and catch your breath between pickup games of basketball or sessions at the outdoor fitness station.Close to soul food and seafood on Johnston Street
In addition to green spaces, Arnould Heights is also close to the various restaurants of Johnston Street. Within the neighborhood, the choices are a bit slimmer but still pack great amounts of flavor into each and every dish. Soul Haus has built its reputation on providing comforting meals and the feeling of home every time you walk in. Specializing in plate lunches and boiled seafood, this Southern eatery rotates menu items throughout the week. Saigon Noodles is a haven for Vietnamese cuisine, and the quaint, cozy spot is famous for simmering its pho broth up to 16 hours.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
