DR Horton files plans for a large development in Baker

I wouldn't buy one, but I'm sure there's definitely a market for homes under $300,000 in the Baton Rouge area. Seems like anything is selling.

I think this is about where it's going. I imagine it will eventually be 400-500+ homes given the size of the lots and the size of the plot of land.

A major subdivision is being proposed near the intersection of Old Scenic Highway and Groom Road in Baker.
Adam Kurz of D.R. Horton Inc.-Gulf Coast has filed a request with the East Baton Rouge Parish Planning Commission seeking a comprehensive plan amendment for the 350-acre property as well as plans for a proposed single-family residential subdivision, Trivento, that his Denham Springs-based company wants to develop there.
Specifically, Kurz wants to change the area’s land use from “industrial” to “residential neighborhood” to allow for the development of Trivento. The subdivision would be accessed via public streets, with each lot averaging 6,250 square feet, according to Kurz’s application.

I would honestly like to know the expected life span for a DR Horton home. I’d guess maybe 25-30 years?

You will be able to open a window and pee in your neighbor's toilet.

So right next the old prison.
I can imagine waking up in my new home and looking out the window to see an abandoned prison.

DR Horton homes, so you can say you don't live in a trailer.

It's going to look like that neighborhood off Buddy Ellis in Livingston Parish. Which is to say, a lot of standard 3/2 homes with cheap finishes for people who want to own an entry level home instead of rent.

You'd be surprised how long any home can last as long as you maintain it and take care of it.

It will be a ghetto within 5 years of the first built house

Well, this is Baker so I will say 10-15 years.

I can't remember which one but either DR Horton or DSLD put drywall under their soffit for "fire-blocking purposes" according to them. What's interesting is they are still putting vented soffit and ridge vent not thinking that the drywall under the vented soffit is blocking airflow.
Also, even though they are using "water-resistant" drywall, every home I have had the pleasure of fixing after the hurricanes already have mold growth and wood rot from the drywall holding moisture.
I have scratched my head a few times over this but they apparently use it as a selling point.

I'm pretty sure that's Zachary city limits. There was a big hooplah up here about schools not being able to handle all of the additional kids before this was approved.

I crew of Mexicans can go from the slab being poured to putting the decking on a DR Horton home in less than 10 days

The prison isn't abondoned. It has women offenders in it now that got moved there after the flood in 2016.

Zachary School district not Zachary itself. So that the developer goes through Parish and not Zachary.

If it's Zachary school district, they might actually be worth something.

It is not in the City of Zachary. It is in East Baton Rouge Parish. Zachary city limits end at Cedar Bend Subdivision just south of Copper Mill. The City of Zachary will make a recommendation to the Baton Rouge Planning Commission and Council since it is in the Zachary zone of influence. Schools and fire protection will be provided by Zachary. They will recommend to BR to deny since that it is what they do with all applications that are in the zone of influence and will not annex into the city.
