I'm picking up the drift here.... traffic blows. With my work schedule I can for the most part take care of errands and whatever else in non rush hour periods. I'm getting a bunch of give up that dreams but not a lot of look here's. Where are people flocking to currently. If you guys could pick anywhere to build a house and accommodate those wishes, where would you look? Price is really flexible honestly.

You want a good public school district so you have Mandeville and places like Madisonville and Lacombe that has access to a Mandeville high school. Theres Mandeville, Fountainebleau and Lakeshore.

Within the confines of Old Covington(actual city limits) is very hard to find right now. Vacant lot prices have increased greatly and there is a lack of buildable lots for sale. It is very Mayberry like and you don't have to cross anything called 190 to get what you absolutely need.
It is the ONLY place on the Northshore with banks, a grocery store, and a hospital that are within a mile of each other without having to get on highway or service road.
The influx of people buying and building in Folsom and Lee Road has increased as well. There is still land to be found to build if you want to. 15 minutes from Downtown Covington but traffic on Lee Road and Hwy 25 is getting worse all the time.
Military Road is also a great residential corridor with some beautiful old estates.
Old Mandeville South of Monroe from the Causeway to the Lakefront is also in high demand. Not as self sustaining as Old Covington but not bad.
Depends on what you're after but Old Covington is best bang for buck for families. Just about a mile or less from Acquistipace's and you'll do fine. West 20's is great as Silk Stocking district (Jahncke corridor).

I am a little bit older than you. Wife and I were born and raised on the NS and both families here. Headed out in the couple months. The traffic and people moving here have destroyed what made this place the reason everyone is moving here for. Honestly to get what you are looking for you are either going to have to go up on your price range a good bit or give up on the land and building. As it was already said, Old Mandeville and DT Covington are your best bet. With the road construction traffic is pretty much constant due to backup on 190 and the overdevelopment already has and will continue to cause flood problems for areas that have never had them before.
Honestly, if you like where you are at you might as well stay there. IMO the reasons for moving to the NS are no longer what you are still getting.
The crime in STT is picking up just not being reported, especially in western most area of the parish.
