Cocodrie. Get right with Ms. Maggie and all will be good. This ignorant Texan drives 11 hours pulling the boat to fish it.

I live in Lake Arthur. Fresh water all around. Duck hunting, goose hunts, deer hunting.
The only thing is salt water is at least an hour away. |

2X. I'm 3-3.5 hrs to salt here, and mediocre fresh spots within an hour. That sounds good to me. |
Mandeville/Covington area are great. Least amount of trash in the state IMO. I chose Covington for easy access to Inshore or offshore Saltwater, Freshwater, Frogging, Deer, and Duck Hunting. Easy beach trips to MS, AL, FL. Party in NOLA or BR with a 35 min drive.
Covington is also north of most flooding from Hurricanes, just stay a couple miles away from the rivers and you'll be safe from flood waters. |

There is a festival every weekend it seems and most are free. Most the small towns around Lafayette have some sort of festival. They have bullfrog festivals, boudin festivals, shrimp festivals, rabbit festivals, etc. Any excuse to drink:rotfl: |
Come in July and you can go to the Grand Isle Tarpon Rodeo!:D:smokin::cheers:

Where would you live in LA?
Lake Charles is the place! Why, all has been mentioned already, Big Lake, Sabine Lake, Toledo Bend Lake closer, salt & fresh water fishing, great food, and one big thing, less traffic than Lafayette! Actually we all have good food. Also, plenty jobs, billions of $$ in expansions going on for next several years which means more jobs. Less crime than bigger cities. Great duck/goose hunting within 20 minutes. City or country living. Only 2 hrs from Houston & Baton Rouge.

That sounds great! You're not a realtor are you? Lol jk. Seriously you guys make it sound great, I can't wait to get down in June and check it out. |
How about gun clubs? I saw a post from Lake Chuck Duck about Lake Charles GC. I'm thinking mostly skeet/trap and a place I could tune up rifle/pistol. Are they plentiful in most areas?

I'm sorry if any potchie town gee-gees were offended by this post, please stop by the Circle-A to register a complaint. |
Check out Butte LaRose

Is that a town, or place name? I can only find a street by that name in Alexandria. |
Madisonville/Mandeville/Covington. Nicest place in the state IMO. Easy access corridor to great fishing all around. Small town living with big city amenities. Not the cheapest place in the state but very pretty and clean.

The creole nature trail was a great drive. There lots of great places here we've basically spent the last seven days riding the southern part of the state checking out all the places y'all mentioned on here. The final decision of where to live will be a tough one. I think we've done pretty good for a first trip, we've seen lotsa stuff and eaten way too much great Cajun food. I'm looking forward to getting out on the water tomorrow morning, private tour of the Atchafalaya in a mud boat should be a great finale to an awesome trip. Thanks again for all the comments, they really gave us some good direction on this trip. -Troy

Btw, the largest incorporated area in Evangeline is Ville Platte at less than 10,000 people. Neither St. Landry or Evangeline are heavily populated, but you can still live relatively close to the big city anemities. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk |

No not a realtor, haha. So you've seen Lake Charles, if you like it, look at Lacassine, just East of Lake Charles if you want small town, no traffic, but close to all mentioned above. Little to no crime, no I don't live there, but close to everything you like. And property will cost way less.

I guess I missed this one.
I have to throw Assumption Parish in the hat. While I was growing up we had a camp in Belle River. After I got out of college I was working in the refineries on the river in Baton Rouge and stayed at the camp in Belle River. To make a long story short, met a girl from Pierre Part and have never left. TO be honest I dont think I would want to liver anywhere else. Some of the reasons. Small town with little crime. Great elementary and primary schools. Great fresh water fishing in my back yard. Far enough from the coast to not have to worry about storm surge. 1hr 15min to Cocodrie, Dularge, Point a Chene, some for the best salt water fishing in the state. 30 minutes to Bayou Black. Great fresh water fishing. 2 hours to Grand Isle for offshore fishing. 15 minute car ride and 20 minute boat ride to Attakapas management area. Good duck and deer hunting. 30 minute car ride and 45 minute boat ride to both wax lake outlet (duck hunting) and Atchafalaya delta(deer Hunting) 45 minutes to Gonzales, Baton Rouge, Houma. All of the shopping and work you need. 1hr 15min to New Orleans airport to get you anywhere in the world. I have no other use for New Orleans. |
