When most people think about building a custom home, they picture wide-open fields on the outskirts of town, with cows as their first neighbors. But let’s talk about something uncommon but still great: the infill lot. At Andries Builders, we love helping families discover the charm, convenience, and surprising perks of building right where the action already is—in Lafayette and the surrounding Louisiana communities.
What’s an Infill Lot Anyway?
An infill lot is a piece of land tucked inside an existing neighborhood—maybe an open space where a house used to be, or just a gap that’s been waiting for the perfect home. Instead of building way out in the boonies, you’re filling in the neighborhood fabric with something brand new.
Location, Location, Crawfish Étouffée
One of the biggest perks of choosing an infill lot is convenience. You’ll often find them in established areas close to schools, shops, restaurants, and—let’s be real—the best boudin spots. That means less driving, more living, and quicker access to Lafayette’s culture, food, and community.
Instant Community Vibes
Moving into an infill lot means you’re not waiting years for new neighbors to show up. You’ll step right into an established neighborhood with sidewalks, mature trees, and maybe even a gumbo cook-off down the street. It’s like hitting the ground running—community edition.
A Greener Choice
Building on an infill lot can also be environmentally friendly. Instead of clearing untouched land, you’re making better use of space in areas that already have utilities and infrastructure. Translation: fewer bulldozers, more eco-friendly building.
The Charm of the Old + The Shine of the New
With an infill lot, you get the best of both worlds: a brand-new, custom-built home with modern features, planted in a neighborhood full of character. Think: smart home tech and walkable streets. Hardwood floors inside, shady oak trees outside.
At Andries Builders, we specialize in helping families create the perfect custom home on infill lots across Lafayette, Broussard, and surrounding Louisiana communities. Whether you want a sleek modern design or a cozy Southern classic, we’ll build a home that fits seamlessly into the neighborhood while still standing out as uniquely yours.
So, don’t overlook the lot in the middle of it all—sometimes the best place to build your future is right where Lafayette is already thriving.
