If you are considering working and living in LC you would be doing yourself a HUGE favor by getting out of Lafayette.

I can't stand the traffic around Lafeyette... The traffic in Sulphur/Westlake is getting bad right now with all the construction but Lake Charles is still pretty decent.

Both areas offer almost the same amenities with LC being a little farther from BR but a little closer to Houston for weekend trips.

Lake Charles is excellent for both freshwater and saltwater fishing.

Lafayette gets the nod on hunting opportunities in closer proximity.

If you or your wife have family in Lafayette you could move to the East side of LC (Iowa or Bell City) and be a little closer to Lafayette for visiting.
