re: Where to live in Lafayette area?

don't get the love for Youngsville. 10% sales tax, takes 20 minutes to get to Laffy, traffic in the mornings and afternoons is horrible, bad roads, cookie cutter shitty built houses, etc. I have no idea why Laffy grew that way instead of towards Maurice/Abbeville.

While I agree with you, I can see why people move there now. It's a quick drive to the Southside and all of the oil field shops off of 190. It's also a way to send your kids to schools where there won't be too many Davante's or Briananeesha's without paying out of the arse for private schools. It's basically Lafayette's Prarieville/Zachary. I almost built a house off of Johnson/E. Broussard and the property insurance was going to be ridiculous (flood maps?).
