Dutchtown VS Zachary Schools and neighborhoods
Posted on 4/18/16 at 8:18 am
Posted on 4/18/16 at 8:18 am
My family and I have been living in Dutch town for the past 5.5 years and have one in the school system. We like the area and the schools, but have always liked copper mill in Zachary. I am a little concerned about all the subdivisions Ascension is approving without any infrastructure improvement first.
One concern I have about Zachary Schools is the possibility of the parish busing in kids from surrounding areas, if that is even a possibility. I have to ask because I grew up in an area that was deconsolidated by the feds and it totally screws up the school system.
Anyway, any pros and or cons with be greatly appreciated about each area and or school system.

Zachary is independent of the EBR school system and will not bus in kids. But you do see a lot of school zone fraud where kids from outside areas attend ZSB schools. Not in numbers that will devalue the system however.

Ascension just approved traffic/sewer impact fees to improve roads/sewers where new subs are built. However this WILL NOT help on current traffic issues within the parish.

Does the $1500 a year HOA dues in copper mill bother you? And they are threatening to go up on that as well.

There's currently over 25 houses for sale in that neighborhood. My boss lives there and has been trying to sell his house for over a year, and has dropped the price over $45,000. Plus with the $1500 HOA fees, it just seems like a place one would want to stay away from right now.

I thought Zachary was turning into the new Baker. The good parts of EBR are declining fast. Stay in Ascension.

Copper Mill is a mess
I'd avoid
There are other places in Zachary that would be better choices.

Also Zachary High ranks 42 while Dutchtown High ranks 17. I think Zachary is on the decline.

The front half of Copper Mill sold a ton of lots to DSLD, housing prices there are tanking.

Central is better than both imo. Zachary and ditch town are about equal but you can probably find a better deal on Zachary. I'd avoid having to use I-12 or I-10 for your daily commute if you work downtown.
If you work in south btr then I'd recommend dutchtown over the others.
