Apartment recommendations in Youngsville/Lafayette

Don't.

Living in either Lafayette or youngsville would suck. I can't stand to drive through them. Find a nice place outside of the city and just drink at home. Set up a nice Farmers meet account and get you a nice girl from down the bayou who can cook and clean real good.

Seriously though, I have no idea where you would want to live. I don't like living in the city, so I really can't stand Youngsville or Lafayette. I work in Lafayette and commute from the countryside, just my preference and always has been.

I don't think you're going to find anything decent in that area for $800. I was paying $900 for a 1 bed/1 bath (with attached garage) in 2012.

Besides Corner Bar in Youngsville there isn't much in the way of bars. If I were you(assuming you are young) Id find a decent 2/3BR around the Saint streets and put up with some roommates. You're close to downtown, Johnston St bars and will see plenty of UL broads walking around.

Find some roommates or kick your budget up to $900-$950. The only decent apartments under $800 would put you at Grand Pointe off Kaliste. I would definitely look into Laffayette for what you're looking for in regards to walking distance to bars. Youngsville is the middle class family mecca, you're not going to find much "fun" unless the oilfield picks up and you want to be Jody to some very nice looking young MILF.

See if you could lie your way into a dorm room...

Under 800 I would say The Landing. It is on the edge of River Ranch all between Settlers Trace, Kaliste Saloon, and Ambsador Caffery.

Sugar Mill Pond is a great place. I think the apartment complex is called Waterview. It's in Youngsville

Pepper Tree Apartments. Right behind Lowes on Ambassador. Wife and I lived there before we moved back to Baton Rouge.
