Near Downtown, Freetown-Port Rico, and Saint Streets, you can find older brick and wood-frame apartments, duplexes, and small houses with porches, shutters, and covered parking. Some units sit in converted homes, so layouts can feel less uniform. Interiors in these older apartments often include larger windows, separate dining rooms, and less closet space.Farther south near River Ranch, Broadmoor, and around Kaliste Saloom Road, many apartments are in newer garden-style communities with stucco or brick exteriors, wider parking lots, and shared courtyards or pools. Around Oil Center and along Johnston Street, apartments often sit close to offices, shops, and major roads, so access can be easy but traffic can be part of the tradeoff. In north Lafayette and around Carencro-facing edges, houses for rent and low-rise apartments can be more spread out. Many apartments here have simple exterior designs, open living rooms, and in-unit laundry connections.
