LSU faculty that want newer-ish homes tend to move there.

It's a nice neighborhood but it's not convenient to anything but LSU and downtown. I have relatives that live way in the back on Laurel Plantation and they love it.

They haven't had an issue with flooding but the road does get torn up when the river is high. Water kind of sept through the cracks in the street up and down that whole subdivision back in May 2011.

Yea. Between the flooding/River issues, the accessibility, and the traffic situations, I think this subdivision is off of our list. On to the next one.

I live in the very back of Riverbend. No flooding issues whatsoever, ever. There is one house (the first one ever built) that was not built up high enough so water does apparently infiltrate the slab there. That could happen anywhere, though.

Love living in Riverbend. Beautiful neighborhood, great neighbors, great for kids, easy access to downtown and LSU. Not convenient though if you need to go to Lowes or Target or Town Center. (They were supposed to put a Target and Lowes near Mike Andersons at one time, but the economy wrecked those plans. Maybe one day.)

By the way, if the Levee ever breaks, Riverbend will not be the only place decimated. Everything west of highland will be gone, including LSU in about 3 minutes.
