re: Best Louisiana City or Town to retire in if you had to live in Louisiana.

The plan for the wife and I is to retire and move to the lake or possibly buy a small ranch. Coming from South Arkansas my first two choices for living on the lake would be Farmerville/Downsville or Homer (Claiborne). Community wise Farmerville is much better than Homer but the wife likes Claiborne better than D'Arbonne. I'm the exact opposite. That said, several East Texas lakes may be in play for us.... Cedar Creek, Fork, Lake o' the Pines, Palestine, Toledo Bend.
Many would be on my LA town list for that reason.
