For my money, with quality schools, infrastructure improvements galore, and a stereotype that's more bark than bite regarding the general intelligence levels of our citizenry, you can't beat the LP.

My wife and her whole family are from Denham and it's a good place to live. However, there is no way in hell I would fight that traffic everyday. I go with her to see her family about once a week and I dread it. I am from East Feliciana parish and never really cared for living in a big city like Baton Rouge. I moved to Zachary for a few years and it has great schools (no they don't teach standardized test taking skills year round) but the population has pretty much outgrown the infrastructure. Highway 64 without a turning lane in the middle of town is a nightmare. I live in Central now and I love it. Good schools, nice neighborhoods and really easy commute for me from home to my work in North Baton Rouge.
