Youngsville is nice but the drive into Lafayette and the drainage are drawbacks. The schools are decent but aren't that much better than Woodvale or Broadmoor.
Which is why scott is the better choice.
Safer, cheaper, closer to lafayette, easier on traffic.
Doesn't flood either. Youngsville blows.

We went to Barley Oak a while back and it was so trashy we had to leave. Cutoff sleeves, neck tats, the whole deal. Still a lot better than the rest of Louisiana but "no pit bulls or neck tats" lol
I've probably been there 50+ times and this has never been my experience... the average person that goes there is wearing a cycling outfit, athleisure, business attire for happy hour, or traditional suburban garb toting around a dog.
What you described is more reflective of Donz

closer to lafayette
My brother lives in Scott, so sometimes we'll go to dinner out that way and it takes 30-40 minutes to get from South Lafayette to Scott

Old Mandeville & old Covington are charming communities…..Youngsville has zero character & is just a bunch of nice neighborhoods.
There it is, there is no culture. WHO GIVES A frick???!!!
I want to live around Good upper to wealthy people who have nice shite. I want nice stores around me and nice facilities and activities for my kids to go to. I want to live in a good school district and have access to a really good private schools. I want to be close to work and nice restruants.
Youngsville has all of that for most people, as does mandeville. Sure i like old oak trees and muesems and stuff like that, but in the end that is much further down the list than the other things.
The so called cookie cutter houses and mcmansion issues is dumb. Its not like every subdivision is a dr horton subdivision. Plenty of nicer custom subdivisions, with bigger lots.
now I said i dunno about traffic, im sure its bad, and i do like the river ranch area a little more, but i understand why people like Youngsville for sure. Its freaking nice.

No love for Natchitoches? I always enjoyed it there.

I get why people would want to live in suburbs of cities that are ghetto, dangerous, or whatever, but that's not Lafayette

Isn't Sugar Mill Pond in Youngsville basically River Ranch lite?
Posted on 6/16/21 at 12:15 pm to brewhan davey
It is, but a big perk of River Ranch is that it’s in the middle of the city.

Oh for sure. RR is much closer to civilization. I saw that Sugar Mill Pond even has the same restaurants as River Ranch I guess there is a blueprint to luring in certain folks in the area.

No idea then. I'll give it another try then, I had written it off after that experience. It was on a weekend so maybe that was it, but it was 100% trashy clientele.

If you aren't an idiot who sticks to ambassador to get to south lafayette, yeah.
Take the bertrand split and you're fine. Or go the back way through ridge rd. Everyone knows to never take Ambassador or Johnston anytime between 8-8.
