Lafayette OTers ... Opinion on Laffy neighborhoods / suburbs

Assuming price is the same across the board, where would you rather raise your children ?
RR, Broussard, Youngsville ? There are so many subdivisions popping up all over that area - which ones are good ? Any thoughts on Island Oaks?

I'd go in that Twin Oaks area around ULL.
Broussard is for oilfield workers and unless you work out there, I wouldn't live out there or even go out there unless I wanted to go to the Station to catch a good music act.

I think all the Lafayette OT Ballers live in River Ranch.

i really like this neighborhood. there are a lot of new subdivisions popping up around there too. Crystal Cove, Ella Trace, The reserve (on tolson) and walker's village are some other ones to consider
there haven't been any houses built in the reserve but once they start it is going to fill up very quick.

Just raise them in Lafayette. Not like you're avoiding big city crime or schools by living in Broussard or Youngsvile. If you HAVE to go suburbs, go Youngsville.

There is a lot of hate on here for River Ranch - I'm trying to figure out exactly why ...

First off, would the kids go to public or private schools?

Overpriced
This is it. It's fairly overpriced, pretentious, new money, and is filled with houses that are downright gaudy. It's often a place filled with tasteless, overpriced, opulence.
It's still a great neighborhood, though.

Lived in Youngsville for 5 years. Copperfield South.

There are probably only 5 houses that are gaudy.

But most are not built to high quality. I worked for the phone company when the area was being developed and got to look at plenty of houses being built there.... Tons of construction flaws for the price being paid!

If I ever move back to Lafayette (not likely), I'd move to River Ranch. It gets a lot of hate around here for several different reasons, but to me it is the only neighborhood in the city that actually feels like a "big city" neighborhood. It's pretty much the only neighborhood where you can walk to bars, restaurants, grocery stores, shops, live music (rhythms on the river), etc...
It doesn't just get hate here, though. There are a ton of haters around the Lafayette area, too. I think most of them are just jelly, but others prefer a small town feel, or even others prefer suburbs or country living.

There's a whole lot of options. Saints street, Carencro, youngsville, Broussard is somewhat okay, w bayou, river ranch, anywhere off Johnston in the city can be nice. Obviously avoid north and you're good.
