Acadiana's first multi-generational community clubhouse — a landmark greenhouse estate reimagined as a place where every generation gathers, connects, and belongs. With dedicated after-school hours for the teens who need it most.
Acadiana has no community anchor — no gathering place designed for everyone, open all day, every day. The Greenhouse on Moss fills that void. And during the hours young people need belonging most, it becomes something more: a protected place for teens to connect, play, and grow.
Lafayette has no third place — no shared gathering space between home and work. Loneliness is rising across all ages. But teens bear the sharpest edge: the WHO identifies ages 13–17 as the loneliest group globally (20.9%). In Louisiana, 26% of juvenile crime occurs between 2–6 PM. Youth recreation costs have surged 46% since 2019, pricing out families who need community most.
A climate-controlled greenhouse event hall, restored pool, gaming lounge, botanical gardens, and café — open to the entire community, all day, all week. Mornings for seniors, remote workers, and families. Evenings for community events, workshops, and rentals. Weekends for parties, markets, and performances. And every weekday from 3–6 PM: dedicated, protected hours for teens.
Spanning a nearly 3-acre historic estate, The Greenhouse on Moss offers a curated collection of spaces — each designed to serve the full community across every hour of the day, every day of the week.
A landmark climate-controlled greenhouse event space featuring a café bar, botanical gardens, movie nights, live acoustic music, and private event hosting. The heart of the estate — open to everyone.
Billiards, ping pong, foosball, console and PC gaming lounge, board game library, and a quiet homework nook. Open to all members — and during dedicated after-school hours, a protected space where teens can decompress, connect, and just be.
Restored pool, sun deck, loungers, splash pad, and supervised swim sessions. Friday night pool parties and outdoor summer programming make this the go-to summer destination.
Birthday parties, HOA community nights, speed dating events, family movie screenings, networking gatherings, wellness workshops, and 8-week summer camp sessions. A full, living calendar that serves every generation — year-round.
A third place is somewhere that isn't home and isn't work — somewhere people gather just to be together. Lafayette has none. The Greenhouse on Moss is built to be exactly that, for every generation.
Every weekday there's a window where teens have nowhere to go. That's when the data gets dark — and when belonging matters most. The Greenhouse on Moss creates a protected, joyful alternative during those hours. This is the impact that draws community support, press, and lasting loyalty.
Mornings serve seniors, remote workers, and families. Evenings drive events and workshops. Weekends bring markets, celebrations, and community nights. The Greenhouse on Moss is alive for the whole community — teens are the heart of the mission, not the ceiling of the vision.
