Pilette is close to downtown Lafayette, golf courses and the airport
Less than five miles from downtown Lafayette, the Pilette neighborhood stays in the heart of the action with multiple entertainment options, new housing construction and easy access to Highway 90, a major roadway. Primarily residential, the area stretches from near the Lafayette Regional Airport to the community of Broussard. Surrounded by golf courses, green spaces and dining options, it also has some of the most unique experiences in the city, with everything from a VR gaming salon to a trampoline park partially owned by New Orleans Saints Quarterback, Drew Brees.
A blend of single-family homes and townhouses
Living in Pilette offers residents newly constructed contemporary homes as well as some dating back to the 1970s. The area’s first post office was opened in 1901, but many of the original historic buildings haven’t survived to the present day. Instead, the neighborhood has evolved into several subdivisions, some gated, with most still having lots available. In addition to townhouses, you’ll see Mediterraneans, Acadians, farmhouses and ranch-style residences. Prices range from $160,000 for a one-bedroom and bath townhouse to $1.8 million for a newly built Mediterranean home in a gated community.
Local schools focus on literacy and language
Students in the area might attend Katherine Drexel Elementary, Broussard Middle or Northside High. Drexel Elementary began in the 1920s as the 1st school for Black children in Broussard. Today, it’s a diverse facility that focuses on teaching literacy to students from kindergarten to third grade. Broussard Middle is home to the Spartans. The institution offers tutoring, advanced classes and high school credits for its algebra, robotics and foreign language courses. Northside High not only excels in athletics, but it’s also known for its broadcasting academy as well as a law studies program with mock trial competitions.
Trampoline park headlines a roster of unique entertainment venues
One of Pilette’s more unusual features is the amount of entertainment venues in the neighborhood. You can release tension in the Rage Room, play more than 300 games at Planet VR or race with friends at the Kart Ranch. There’s even water-based fun at the Louisiana Swamp Base. But one of the most unique spots is Surge Entertainment by Drew Brees. The New Orleans Saints Quarterback became interested in the trampoline park concept after having a birthday party for one of his children at one. He met with Surge founder, Darren Balsomo, and the rest is history. The complex isn't just for jumping either. Adults, children and everyone in between can enjoy 13 lanes of bowling, a golf simulator, an arcade and an interactive video game experience with moving seats. Toddlers have their own soft play area, and everyone can find a snack at the Prime Bistreaux.
Poor Boy's Riverside Inn has served Cajun classics for over a century
Of course, you couldn't mention a Southern city without talking about the food there. Pilette is home to an iconic Cajun seafood restaurant called Poor Boy's Riverside Inn. Opened nearly 100 years ago as a snowball wagon, the business expanded into hot sandwiches and, eventually, seafood and steaks. The recipes have been handed down through the Hurst family through four generations and are still proudly used today. In addition to daily lunch specials and delectable desserts, the restaurant has vegetarian, low carb and gluten-free options to suit every dietary need.
