Definitely not False River, St. Francisville, or Madisonville. Those places are all terrible. Stay away from them.

It depends on what you consider a priority and what your job allows for.

Overrated. Case in point:

On the other end of the spectrum, I currently live in New Orleans.


You then go on to list a bunch of stuff wrong with the most diverse city in the state (which I'm guessing is what's prompted your thread).

Diversity for its own sake (ie: just to say "we're diverse") is a philosophical failure.

Covington for sure. Everything you want or need is here in this small town. Traffic sucks in the pm but lots of good golf, restaurants,schools, playgrounds, stores and no crime.

Up north- Ruston. Growing small college town with a functional local government. They just don’t need to f it up.

South- somewhere near the Lafayette area. Lafayette itself is getting a little to Austiny but surrounding areas are still ok.

Just bought a house on Lake St John for when I retire. 3 more years in BR then I’m out.

We do this thread a few times a month, and I am here to confirm the results as accurate, as I have lived in all these places…

1. North shore (West St. Tammany)
2. South Lafayette / Youngsville / Broussard
3. Dutchtown/Prairieville
4. Ruston

I listed those in order balancing all things most suburban - - a wife, two kids, and a dog - - yuppie families would care about. I’ve never lived in Saint Francisville, but I bet it would be nice; however, it might be a little too far of a drive for me to get to the shopping, entertainment, and dining the girls in my life have come to expect.

Depends on what age you are and if you have kids.

If you’re a young single person with even moderate middle class money, New Orleans is by far the best place to be despite its faults. The dating and party scene there is simply unrivaled.

If you’re married and have school aged kids, the best places are Lafayette, Covington, and Mandeville. Hammond and Ascension Parish aren’t bad as well. If you’re wealthy enough to send your kids to private schools, BR, Metairie, and New Orleans start to look a little more appealing.

If you’re retired or an empty nester, the north shore is pretty much unbeatable.

Honestly this is not a bad suggestion. I really enjoy Bay St. Louis and the Pass. We should really consider annexing it from Mississippi since it is basically just an extension of South Louisiana.

However, I will take a hard pass because climate change is here and I'm not getting fricked by a hurricane as soon as I move.


Mississippi coast people don't want to be part of Louisiana, we moved here to get out it. But ya'll want Jackson?
