Zachary could be the next Baker, beware.
I'm in Central, moved here years back, and it's great. no offense, but there are absolutely no hoods in our area.

don't cross the Amite River or traffic will kill you, that's why i avoided the South BTR area or Prarieville.

resale will always be excellent in a good school district.

Zachary - best schools in the state
Baker - worst schools in the state

Yeah, just because it is close does not mean it is anything like Baker. You can say that about any area in BR that has a low income area 5 miles down the road.

I don't see an Americana subdivision being developed in Baker, 2 brand new schools, new golf courses (2 in the last 5 years), remodeling of all the other schools, 2 brand new Medical centers. Looks like Baker to me! I think the only new thing in Baker is a Walgreens and a remodeled Popeyes. Yeah, we have a few low income streets, but I don't feel I have to lock my car door when I drive through.

I don't see that happening, given how well the area seems to attract middle class home buyers. The new bridge and the improved highway 61 will probably bring some pretty large retail developments in the future.

Plenty of room to grow, very good schools, and low crime makes it a pretty compelling choice. I'd probably live in Zachary or Central before I'd ever consider Livingston.

I'd choose a decent neighborhood in Baton Rouge before any of them if I could though. Capitol Heights or the Goodwood/Claycut area especially.
