Best Bang for the Buck - BR Real Estate

Obviously South BR, Prairieville and Denham Springs have been way overdone.
Anyone ever considered West BR....Port Allen specifically? Thinking hard about making a purchase over that way.

That's kinda what I was going for. I say that because the price of real estate in the areas I mentioned in my first post (Prairieville, Denham Springs) have been super inflated by overbuying the last 10 years or so. I was thinking people in BR will run out of room to grow in those directions and find another area geographically like they have done before to improve commute time and overcrowding. Any more thoughts?

I was being an arse
. Lots of folks are moving out that way bc of those reasons. There is of course as you know the stigma of living in say Port Allen though.Posted on 4/15/10 at 10:29 am to Kreg Jennings

That bridge can be nothing nice. I lived on False River for a summer and commuted, and that bridge can be a cluster F*** at times. I would only live on that side of the river again if I worked downtown.

Oh I admit...I'm guilty of the stigma sometimes in judging them...and that side of the river has some interestig characters (as does Ascension and Livingston)...but the section I'm looking at is the Oaks close to the levee overlooking downtown BR...is an older family property I was gonna live in for a while, then when 'm ready to move on turn it into rental property for almost double the mortgage.

It's not. I'd rather shoot myself than sit in that traffic out to Denham every day at 5.
And as another poster said, it's not always bad, but I can distinctly remember a handful of times where it took me 2-3 hours to get home because of a wreck or something that basically shut the bridge down. Sitting in traffic w/ no alternate route to get home was frustrating to me.

It seems like every time I try to cross that thing there a car on fire on top if it.

Kreg, I lived in PA for a year and worked in BR. I never had a problem with traffic.
BTW, I think I know you. You know anything about TPAPT1?

I live in Lafayette and travel to or through BR at least 3-4 times a month. I hit horrible bridge traffic about half the time, and i'm not crossing at peak times.

If you want to go rural go w/ the Felicianas.
this is good advice. made the move 12 yrs ago. i still commute to BR for work and gas prices have affected the economics, but the public schools in WFP more than offset that considering the private school tuition i paid for 3 kids in EBR.
WFP is a nice place to live

Is this for investment or residential use?

trick question....residential for a few years...then when I move into a bigger place for whatever reason, make it rental property

There are two different condominium complexes on prime downtown real estate with units under foreclosure going for less than 130k. Might be something to look into. One of them I know would not be a bad place to live b/c I know someone who lives there. The other I know nothing about. Palm something-or-another is the one that I know of.
I hear downtown is booming.
