Forget the Hamptons. The smart money is heading to a stretch of Louisiana most Americans couldn’t find on a map.

The Northshore of Lake Pontchartrain, anchored by the towns of Covington, Mandeville and Slidell, has become one of the hottest luxury housing markets nobody’s talking about.

Prices for the priciest homes in Covington have shot up 94% over the last decade, while Mandeville isn’t far behind at 80%, according to fresh data from Realtor.com.

Covington has crowned itself the region’s luxury capital. The median price for the top 10% of homes there now sits at $1.13 million. Climb into the top 5% and that number jumps to nearly $1.87 million. At the very top, the top 1%, homes are trading for an average of $3.74 million.

Translation: this Louisiana land rush is just getting started.

So that’s why they didn’t want Chalmette in their district

I think Slidell's inclusion was just as big of a mistake as including the Lakefront pictures in New Orleans in the article.

Hamptons just trying to convince all the non-WASPS to go to Louisiana. They can’t fool me.

Covington has not one, but two Waffle Houses.

And in the entire Hamptons area they don't even have one single Waffle House!
