3500 E Simcoe St

River Trace is a low-rise, gated condominium community along the Vermilion River in Lafayette, built in 1983. The development comprises townhouse-style 1–3 bedroom units—many arranged as two-story floorplans with a half bath on the ground level and private ensuite bedrooms upstairs. Typical interior finishes include vaulted and varied ceiling heights, crown molding, granite or quartz counters, tile and wood-look flooring, kitchen islands or breakfast bars, dual closets and walk-in pantries in larger plans. Many units feature living-room fireplaces, private balconies off master bedrooms, fenced rear patios and utility/laundry rooms. Exterior amenities focus on riverfront common space with a gazebo, deck and grilling area, perimeter lighting and gated access. The HOA covers exterior maintenance, insurance, trash, pest control and grounds upkeep; designated parking is provided for most units. The community's location places it minutes from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Oakbourne Country Club, downtown dining and regional transportation, offering a mix of quiet riverside settings and close urban conveniences. Pet policies and specific condo rules vary by unit; buyers should confirm HOA covenants and recent capital improvements with the association.
