A North Lafayette neighborhood that's undergoing redevelopment
The Mouton neighborhood may not have much name recognition in Lafayette, but many know the area as a growing part of the city. "Pont Des Mouton Road is there. But people just call that area North Lafayette," says Charles Ditch, a Lafayette resident and seasoned Realtor with Keaty Real Estate Team. "There's a lot of industry. You got service companies that are part of the oilfield industry, which is a big economic driver for the parish." Ditch says the area is experiencing a growth in housing and infrastructure. "For years, that area has been neglected, but now it's getting a lot of attention and redevelopment. A lot of work is being done, and they are expanding the road." The suburban community has several schools and easy access to highways.

Mouton has older cottages and ranch-style houses in addition to New Traditional dwellings built over the last 20 years. There are also new constructions.

Mouton is home to several housing developments, including the older David Martin subdivision and the gated La Bon Vie. "You also got that big new neighborhood Couret Farms. They have two charter schools within the subdivision," Ditch says. Older homes range in price from $135,000 to $385,000.
