Moving to the northshore, need advice

Tldr

You'll fit right in

covington and madisonville public schools are very subpar, despite what you might be told on here.

We already have too many people. Go away.

I'd suggest Slidell.

Most all the public elementary schools in Mandeville are excellent.

Sitting here and not sure where to begin as far as pros/cons. Depends if you like neighborhoods (old or new, elite upper-middle or somewhere in between), street/block or rural.

If the sun is up, you'll be sitting in traffic. And if you happen to go over an overpass on 12, you'll come to a complete stop. Oh, and traffic.

Stay away from Mandeville/Covington.

Sliraq is the place to raise a family these days.

mandeville. that's even if you decide to go public school. there are plenty of affordable areas that are still within the mandeville school district.

do not move to the dirty dell unless you plan on living in a badass house with a pier and sending your kids to private school.
same goes for madisonville. you can get some serious land and build out there right now. it's growing quickly. also, opt for private schools if in this district.

Acquaint yourself with the flood maps. Make sure the property you buy is not in a flood zone. Then expect it to flood anyway.
