I'm planning to buy land/build a house in Mandeville or Covington. I work in the oil field and my wife works from home so traffic/ commute is not really an issue to avoid. We are both late 20's and expect to have kids within a few years. Can anyone here point me in a solid direction of where to look and where to avoid?

Do you want insane amounts of traffic or just a good bit of traffic?

land included I think we would end up some where between 450k and 600k.


You come to the OT Lounge with that piece of information because you enjoy getting ridiculed?

The new Mandeville code is if you buy a house up here you have to persuade three transplanted families to move back south if the lake.

Oil field and no traffic concerns mean you must work offshore, not a M-F. I can tell you’re not interested in private school because of what it typically costs in New Orleans. You can get a lot of house for half of that 600 in southern Washington parish. You’ll never come close to spending that other 300k on private schools in WP. Usually runs 7k a year tops for private schools up here

I only mention that because no one else has and the option exists.

This has to be the oldest topic on the OT

I don’t even believe that that the OP is serious
