For the record: Veazey, which is on par with Fightville.

But do you know where Cropperville is?

To the OP, none of these are recommended areas.

Only place I could stomach living near Lafayette is somewhere on the west side. It isn't overly populated and the traffic isn't shitty. You can kind of shoot in along ambassador or hit roads like fieldspan and the other that brings you directly to the interstate.

This should explain why more than just a few of us here think you are a fricking idiot.

Yeah. I didn't think you were capable of giving an intelligent answer. Thanks for not letting me down.

OK so let's say we pick Youngsville. How are the high speed internet options there? Is it a BFE situation where I won't be able to get internet or can I get pretty good reliable speeds?

Also looking at Opelousas now that someone suggested the Westminster Academy.

You should stay in Lafayette and focus on the private schools. We are moving there early next year.

Don't make that mistake of moving there. I am assuming the suggestions were for the Lafayette campus of WCA

In Youngsville. We have cox for phone and Internet only. Hubby likes direct tv and won't use cox for cable. It's fine and fast and I don't even think we subscribe to the fastest speed available. Parents have uverse also in Youngsville and it took them years to get straight.

Eta: be careful with Westminster. Lot of people hate it. Over strict weird Christians.

Youngsville seems to be the best place for us right now I think. We'll just figure out whether we want to keep them in the public or private and if private how far we want to drive each day to drop/pick them up from school.

We could always move to Franklin, La. I hear that's a hotbed of excitement.

I've lived in Laffy for 20 my kids have (18 & 16)
have been through Woodvale, Broadmoor, Edgar Martin and LHS and i wouldn't hesitate to do it again, both of those elementary schools are excellent, and the main concern/problem with LHS is over population, but taking AP and honor classes can help
but the private school are a great option if you can afford it and are able to drop off and pick up daily
As for "where to live" whats your budget? The Laffy houses market is around $115 a square ft.
what are you looking for? older house with bigger lot
look in Laffy, newer with smaller lot look Youngsville

New construction is between $150-$195/ft
Middle of Lafayette around $130/ft and outskirts around $115/ft. Of course there are outliers but those are the averages
