Cade balances the feel of wide-open cane fields with quick access to everyday conveniences, set along the historic LA 182 corridor between Broussard and New Iberia. Many residents appreciate the easy commute to jobs and entertainment in Lafayette, while coming home to quieter roads, starry skies, and a close-knit pace of life.
Families find strong footing at Cade Elementary School, part of the St. Martin Parish school system, where community support shows up at festivals, ballgames, and school events. Daily routines are simple: local cafés for plate lunches, farm stands when the harvest is on, and friendly neighbors who know your name. Yet you’re minutes from the larger retail hubs and medical services in surrounding towns.
Weekends offer more than enough to do. Kids love a day among giraffes and otters at Zoosiana in Broussard. Nature lovers head to the rookery and boardwalks at the Cypress Island Preserve at Lake Martin for sunrise birding and cypress reflections. Travelers and visiting family appreciate the convenience of Lafayette Regional Airport, usually just a short drive away. With year-round festivals across Acadiana and a tradition of good food and better music, Cade offers an easygoing base to enjoy it all.
