Keeping a low profile in Lafayette

A few miles south of downtown Lafayette, Broadmoor stretches from U.S. Route 167 to the banks of the Vermilion River. With its network of walkable streets, it offers a convenient and peaceful respite from the bustle of downtown. “It’s right smack in the middle of Broadmoor’s school zone, very family-friendly, lots of kids running around,” says Robbie Breaux, Realtor with Real Broker. “A lot of people who have bought there grew up there, and they’ve come back.” Whether they’re coming home or seeing this Louisiana neighborhood for the first time, residents find Broadmoor has plenty to offer.

Revving up at Broadmoor Elementary School

Students start their school days at Broadmoor Elementary School before moving on to Edgar Martin Middle School. Both schools are right in the neighborhood and within walking distance of most homes east of Thomas Park. Lafayette High School, a Louisiana Distinguished School, is a few blocks away on the other side of Route 167. Niche gives each of these schools an A-minus. Residents also have the opportunity to procure an undergraduate degree from Remington College Lafayette, located on Ambassador Caffrey Parkway.

Batter up at Broadmoor Park

Broadmoor Park hosts home games for the Lafayette Little League Chargers from the baseball diamond beside the elementary school.

It’s also the home of Thomas Recreation Center, which offers classes in aerobics, gymnastics, fencing and various dance styles. Down the street from Thomas Park, residents cool off at the pool at Riverside Swim Club.

Ranch-style homes by the river

Most homes in Broadmoor date to the 1960s, ’70s or ’80s, as evidenced by the plethora of single-story ranch-style houses in the mix. There are some Colonial Revival-style houses and new builds blended in, particularly in the gated subdivisions along the river. Tree-lined streets and cul-de-sacs with paved sidewalks contribute to the sheltered vibe of the neighborhood, and most properties include driveways to keep parked cars from clogging up traffic. Modest ranch-style homes start at around $250,000, while four-bedroom custom builds on the riverfront are priced in the $800,000 range.

Rhythms on the River

On Thursdays in spring and fall, Rhythms on the River brings outdoor concerts to the Vermilion at nearby River Ranch Town Square. The events are free and open to the public. Local food vendors such as Reggie’s Soulfood, The Churros Boutique and Cajun Hot Tamales and Hot Dogs are onsite to spice up the events. “Pretty much everybody from all over the place comes into River Ranch for that,” says Breaux, who grew up in Broadmoor.

Driving to downtown Lafayette

Route 167 borders the northwestern edge of Broadmoor, providing the quickest route to downtown Lafayette and the Vermilionville Historic Village. The drive takes about 20 minutes. There are numerous bus stops along Ambassador Caffery Boulevard and a few along Broadmoor Boulevard, served by the Lafayette Transit System. Louisiana’s capital city, Baton Rouge, is about 90 minutes away, making it a good destination for a weekend getaway.
