213 Bendel Rd

Bendel Executive Suites is a mid-century low-rise condominium complex in Lafayette built in 1960 and associated with architect A. Hays Town’s executive-style residential aesthetic. The community is organized around a landscaped central courtyard and pool, with multiple two-story buildings offering one-bedroom floor plans and occasional larger units. Interiors commonly feature period touches such as beamed and high ceilings, crown molding, built-in elements, granite counters and slab surrounds, and walk-in closets; many units are sold furnished and show recent incremental updates to appliances and fixtures. Shared facilities reflect a garden-club character: a swimming pool, gazebo, barbecue area, fitness room, laundry room, and well-kept grounds with crepe myrtles and tropical plantings. Operational conveniences include gated access, assigned and covered parking, on-site office staff who handle daytime package receipt and some routine maintenance tasks, and an HOA that covers exterior insurance, roof and pool maintenance, pest control, AC filter changes, and limited light-bulb replacement. The property sits within walking distance of the Oil Center, medical centers, university campus, performing arts venues, restaurants, and retail, making it a compact, low-maintenance option tucked into a mixed-use neighborhood.
