This is key. If you are planning to send to private Broadmoor should be considered a solid option. Wife and I have lived in Prairieville in a starter home, newer cookie cutter house at Old Jefferson/Highland, and now we're in Broadmoor and really like it.

For the same price home I had in Old Jefferson/Highland area I was able to get an extra 1200 sq/ft living and a pool (that we wanted). The key for us was our kids go to daycare, preschool, and private school in this neighborhood and I work from home. I have had 0 problems with crime (2+ years). There are many families with kids similar ages as well and we've loved it. Not to mention I have a dedicated office now as well. Also, can get a large house/yard for a decent price and solid location - likely will need a lot of updates.

We're off in a isolated part of the subdivision but homes here can still be sold by word of mouth before they even go on the market as my neighbors just was last month.

My 2 cents - I am sure others will warn against Broadmoor, but that has been my experience.

Lived right there until 2011 and never had an issue other than traffic on Airline. I was within 5 minutes of an independent grocer, a gym, and I-12. I could get to Whole Foods and the buisnesses on Corporate in less than 15 minutes.

I have several good friends that live in Broadmoor (both north and south of Goodwood), and they love it. The lots are bigger, the houses are well built, and there's a bike lane right through the middle of it all the way past Sherwood.
