What's the best area to live in for public schools, environment, crime, things to do, traffic, access to BR, etc.????
Edit: which area would be best for raising a kid(s). Trying to avoid the private school tuition of living in BR.

It all depends on where you work and what kinds of "things to do" you enjoy. Diversion Canal in St. Amant sure is a great place to raise a family if you're an avid boater and work in one of the relatively nearby plants. It's much less so if you work in downtown baton rouge and enjoy getting plastered a night clubs with your single friends. Different strokes for different folks.

St. Francisville. Great schools, beautiful, historic town and you don't have to deal with Central/Zachary/AP/LP trash. You're welcome.

Why not live in BR?

Either St. Francisville or the south side of Airline Hwy in AP

If you're looking to stay in EBR for some reason it would be Zachary. Otherwise I would say Dutchtown probably.
The diversion canal suggestion is a nice one IF you're an avid boat person. I'd personally reserve that area more for a camp. Regardless, the commute is still pretty long from there.

AP if you want a chemical plant up your nose.
Zachary if you can stand your neighbors in Baker.
Central which the school is about 50/50
LP if you don't mind an occassional rebel flag on the back of a pick up pass by.

I've been house/property browsing in Central and Prairieville
Just my opinion but I feel these 2 have the best public schools, neighborhoods, and environment to raise a family... also very easy access to BR

I'd guess northern AP or Zachary. Central is still pretty rural but will probably develop nicely...so it's probably more of a long term bet.
Zachary is a pretty nice suburb by south Louisiana standards. The long time locals aren't very happy with all the development they've seen the last decade....but it's not far from the airport and it's fairly easy to get to downtown or LSU from there relative to Livingston or Ascension. Public schools are good by Louisiana standards.
Northern AP isn't bad, but there's no real small town feel that some people like. It's ideal if you work in the southern part of the parish though. Not as easy of a commute to downtown or LSU.
The people from Watson and Walker that I know spend way too much time in the car....and they are crazy because LP attracts that kind of person.
