I would like to live in the country but at the same time a subdivision might be healthy for meeting others in the area.

If your looking for the sub division life and can afford it youngsville is pretty hard to beat. My personal preference when we get ready to move is the Maurice area. Preferably south. Meaux fishing lives in a really good area nearby too. Good schools, good people, and good proximity. Your 10 minutes from lafayette, and 20 from vbay.

We currently live in hammond and I decided after growing up here it's going down hill fast plus it's far from a lot of work in my industry...we love the Lafayette area but that's only from visiting. So I'm looking for opinions on that area. I don't think we want to move into Lafayette but deff within 20 miles or so of it. So what's a good area near there to dig in and burry roots at? Any opinions/info appreciated. Btw if anybody knows of any 3 bedroom houses for rent or any jobs in the inspection field I'm your guy. I'm NDT certified across the board I can x ray and i have experience in welding and piping inspection.

I live in Broussard and really like it. I am 5 min from several meat shops, restraunts, and grocery stores. Pretty much anything I need right there and I can be at the mall in Lafayette or any other store within 20 minutes. The only downfall is I live in a subdivision with small lots. And don't worry about meeting people, everyone is pretty friendly

Love Broussard! I ride my bike to sonic and everywhere else, the kids love it. It's a small small town 30 mins from the bay, 30 mins from the basin

Close enough to Lafayette if you need something, but you don't have to fight traffic on a daily basis to go to the store to pick up a few groceries. Lafayette is expanding SE faster than SW, so the Youngsville/Broussard area is only gonna get more congested over the next few years

Live in Youngsville and really like it, close to everything as the crow flies but not as the car drives - traffic is purty bad:rotfl: There is always always something going on in the area and its mainly free, and nearby they have a festival for everything you can think of - rice, crawfish, boudin, cracklin, frogs, rabbits:rotfl: A couple threads out there on where to go watching for women as well (no shortage of them):grinpimp:


Question to everyone else though - we live in Youngsville and are sending our child to private because we are hearing the schools are not that great, can someone fill me in on this? Green T Lyndon?

I have been around those parents and their little Hellian sons and daughters, and they are a cancer and downright mean - they were at my school, and every other private school I had friends at, and are the children of most people I meet that I wouldn't hang out with unless forced to...

Just my view and opinion, and I'm not saying all kids that go to private schools are that way. They aren't, by far, but the culture by demographic is inherently thicker at a private school... Where does a snob with money send their kid to school when they won't dare let them be educated in the same room as the lower income kids? You got it.

Don't believe that. GTL is an excellent schools, we go and have lunch with the kids and attend various school functions and it is unreal how well behaved all the children are. There is a heck of a lot more order than the private schools I went to. The teachers are very involved and attentive.

I have one in Kindergarten and one in 3rd grade (been there since Kindergarten). Their homework is constant and challenging, and the interaction from the teachers is on point - they TEACh, and both my children learn. It's very practical and hands on, not the memorization game that the private schools I attended played (I think the curriculum was).

I love where I live in Broussard, but don't like neighbors and not being able to shoot my guns in my underwear. We have been talking about moving to the country on some acreage for a few years now, and the only thing keeping us here is the education our kids are getting. We text back and forth with the teachers, it's personal.

The 5 year old didn't go to pre K, and is reading and righting already and he's halfway through the year. The homework he brings home forces him to think and put his hands on things, then bring them to school to put it into practice.

I.e Draw a balance, and on one side draw something that you like to play with, then on the other side of the balance draw the number of pennies that you think weigh the same as the object you chose. Bring the object to school tomorrow and we will compare it with the amount of pennies you chose. That was one item on his homework last night.

Or, if you have a cone standing up, draw the shape of the base... In kindergarten. Now, I know this curriculum is across the board, but the interaction with the teachers is what strikes me.

Don't be scared of the public schools there, your tax dollars are actually working in this area.
