re: House across from Walk On's in Zachary

Oddly enough Americana by Walk On’s is higher end for Zachary, but it’s on the crappy side of town because of the flood issues

I think that area between Walk On's and US-61 is mostly swamp. There are at least 2-3 newer houses along 64 in that stretch that look like they are built on little manmade hills. Their finished floor elevation has to be 3-4 feet higher than the natural elevation of the landscape.

Looks like the entire new commercial development at the corner of US 61 and US 64 is also being elevated by at least a foot or two. Makes you wonder how this will impact drainage in the future.

At least Zachary will benefit from that moat they are building between them and Baker. That should keep the Comite river from flooding if they ever finish it.
