I moved to Lafayette from lake Charles and moved in chateau mirage apartments off rue du belier. They were brand new and probably the nicest in Lafayette but 1k a month for rent ****ing sucks. I would move in an apartment and sign a 6 month lease and grab a realtor once you get settled in and start looking at houses in Broussard and youngsville. Those areas are growing very fast and if you buy a new or newer home you will break even or make money on it. As far as apartments, either live with the slums or pay at least 850 a month. Ansley walk, audibon lakes (sp?), chatuea mirage, chatuea de lions, Lafayette gardens are all pretty nice and safe places. Your best bet for renting is a rent house with a few other people
