Can’t remember why but Baton Rouge was not an option

Private schools necessary
Expensive to live in an acceptable neighborhood
Potential flooding
No more Kip
Traffic

Everyone’s going to say northshore but I’d rather live in Mississippi. The northshore is overcrowded, over priced, and overrated

---

true but also has the best schools by far of the ones listed. Personally I would prefer the Mississippi coast, but Northshore has nice areas for families.

Personally though I would do what I could to get a job in houston though if my kid had cancer. Best in the world.

Only because you're incorrect.

A couple of posters have mentioned Prairieville as an option.

Not sure if these others have been mentioned, but
Zachary, Ascension (Prairieville/St. Amant) and West Feliciana, all in metro Baton Rouge, are arguably as good or better than the St. Tammany school district.

Here are the top 10:

1. Zachary Community Public Schools

2. St. Charles Parish Public Schools

3.Ascension Parish Public Schools

4.Lincoln Parish Public Schools

5. Plaquemines Parish Public Schools

6.Vermilion Parish Public Schools

7.West Feliciana Parish Public Schools

8.Sabine Parish Public Schools

9.Central Community Public Schools

10. St. Tammany Parish Public Schools

Safety, schools

Personally I would escape a blue state for a red state any day. Louisiana is dying baw, even MS is better than La. What a shame

Madison, MS. Move to Lake Caroline, Annandale or Reunion People will shite on it, but if your focus is on family and not amenities, its a great safe place to raise a family with a low COL.

nd I’m pretty sure Zachary and AP have higher rated high schools than st Tammany.

they do, but I assumed that he would want to be by childrens hospital. I dont know about the new hospital in BR, if its just as good, than Zachary and AP would be good areas too.

All of the places listed have poor and trashier areas.

the north shore reminds me of South Lake Charles, have some extremely nice sub divisions and good schools, with trashy areas sprinkled in between and then lots of trash along the edges.

Any of the places he listed can be great places to live if you are upper middle class or higher, some just better depending on what you are looking for.

You can find good schools in both places in LA listed, but they still pale in comparison to the private schools in BR and Nola unless you are in the AP programs.

All the locations though offer a suburb with low crime (Priareville, Zachary, Mandeville, Madisonville, Madison, Oceans Springs, etc), nice subdivisions, all have great outdoors, nice golf courses, good public schools, great private schools, great family atmosphere etc


but all ae close to areas of high crime, close to large areas of poverty, have terrible politicians leading the larger metro areas, terrible state politics, terrible overall median household income, etc etc

my point is, if you have a family and that is your focus and you are in the upper middle class or higher, all the locations offer similar things.

as much as i would pick the mississippi gulf coast, i wouldnt choose to live there with my family. I would choose north shore or Praireville just because they have the lowest overall amount of trash. Drive sucks arse though if having to do it everyday.

The public schools in Biloxi, Ocean Springs are very good.

I’d pick Ocean Springs.
