Saints Streets speaks to local character through its houses and trees
When it comes to the many historic neighborhoods of Lafayette, the area known as Saints Streets stands out with its collection of turn-of-the-century cottages and roadways named after Catholic saints. Of course, the name itself is a bit confusing, as no one can decide if it’s Saint or Saints, but locals don’t seem to mind the ambiguity. “This is a great area for people excited by character: whether it be the diversity of the homes or of the people living here,” says Arla Slaughter, a Realtor with Latter and Blum. “The Saint Street cottages are very familiar to locals. They’re older and built up on piers, which historically allowed for better circulation of air under the home. The neighborhood is also very green and lush. There are beautiful mature Live Oak trees, and St. Mary Street is on the Historic Azalea Trail.” One of the first housing developments in the city, the neighborhood is so close to downtown and area schools that many people walk or bike to them each day. A highly desirable area, Saint Streets is zoned primarily for residences, meaning that traffic through the neighborhood is light. There’s a palpable sense of community here, too. Residents go from home to home during the Saint Street Stroll to view and buy artworks from the many local artists living in the area.

Vintage cottages sit alongside oak trees on quiet streets
The Saints Streets neighborhood represents the earliest days of suburbia in Lafayette and retains the charming character of historic buildings throughout. You’ll see children and adults walking and biking along the quaint streets of cottages, bungalows and ranch-style houses. Many of these older homes have original wood flooring, high ceilings and front porches, making them airy and inviting. Each Spring, residents are greeted with great bursts of color from the many azalea bushes featured in landscaping. And it simply wouldn’t be South Louisiana if there weren’t magnificent mature oak trees, either. Prices range from $125,000 for a two-bedroom and one-bath cottage needing a bit of love to $800,000 for a multi-story historic cottage with four bedrooms and three baths.

The Cajundome attracts large crowds at its concerts and sports games
The Cajundome and Convention Center is famous throughout the region as one of the most sought-after sports and entertainment complexes in the South. The stadium opened in 1985 at a cost of $64 million. Immediately successful, the venue has since hosted such artists as Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel and Van Halen.

The local grocery has been a hallmark of the community for decades
The Olde Tyme Grocery has long been a mainstay of the community. On his birthday in 1982, Glenn Murphree bought a small grocery store, complete with stock, in the morning. By that afternoon, he was open and planning for the future. A native New Orleanian, he had a passion for po’boys and began making them at the grocery’s small deli counter. Over the years, the business has come to include a seasonally operated snowball stand and seafood-heavy menu for Lent, but time and again, it’s the sandwiches people come back for.
Olde Tyme Grocery stocks essentials for its famous po’boy sandwiches in Saints Streets.
