re: Bedico Creek Subdivision

Way over developed and only going to get worse.

I haven't lived in it, but I have close friends that do, and I lived less than 3 miles away for 6 years, so I'll tell you what I know.
The subdivision itself seems pretty clean and decently maintained, although I've never seen a subdivision where houses are moved into and out of in a shorter average time. I don't know why, it's just something I noticed. The main problem I had with the area is you're caught in no man's land, halfway between any convenience. A trip to Lowe's or Home Depot on a Saturday morning is literally a 2 hour ordeal for a few 2x4s, because of the odd routes you have to take to get places. Same goes for going out to eat on a Friday night, or a trip to any grocery store except the new Rouses on 21 (wasn't there when I lived there, neither was the Bedico market). The interstate would fix all that if you didn't have to go thru the horrible pinnacle park exit traffic, which is gridlocked all day on the weekends. In short there are other neighborhoods that offers more convenience at the same price point, and there's not really anything about Bedico Creek that makes it worth dealing with the location. I wouldn't live between Bedico and the river again.

Not sure where this assumption comes from. No house in Bedico Creek has ever flooded. There was a downstream drainage issue years ago that caused some street flooding twice. It was fixed and there’s been zero problems since.

Isn’t the draw that it has a lot of open space? Wasn’t it supposed to be a golf course?

Also, Driving Hwy 22 is becoming impossible. It is like trying to get from Katy to Downtown Houston on a two lane bottlenecked road.

You're not wrong. It is pants on head retarded that the north shore continues to grow with inadequate infrastructure.

Yes, traffic is inevitable, but the north shore is worse than places with much larger populations.

My favorite is the road connecting the west approach to 190 near the bridge. It got reconfigured at one point only to return back to how it originally was years later

Are all the replies discussing Highway 22 referencing Bedico Creek subdivision in Madisonville off of 1085?

yeah, because you're going to have to use it to get to mandeville, madisonville, or bedico. They aren't lying either, the traffic does suck, especially in the afternoons between madisonville and mandeville. where will you be working if you choose to buy there?

I just want to give a big 'frick you' to all those people who buy in Tangi, right past the parish line. They don't do anything in Tangi, except live there. As soon as they hop in their cars, it's straight into St. Tammany. Much of the congestion on Hwy 22 is from Tangi residence driving through. They move there so they don't have to pay St. Tammany taxes, but use St. Tammany roads and resources.

I've heard about widening the interstate to a 3 lane as well, although it'll need to be 4 lanes wide by the time they finish the 3rd with the way they are building in that area. I don't see how infrastructure in the area is ever going to catch up to the demand in housing. The traffic is only going to get worse in my opinion because of the lack of foresight in development. There are bottlenecks everywhere.
To the OP, I don't know of any flooding in Bedico Creek either, and Hwy 22 can be avoided via 1085 to the interstate. You will have to go through Archbishop Hannan High school traffic or 22 every weekday morning and evening though, there's no way to avoid both.
