Where would you live in LA?

[Goooh]

Around Lafeyette is probably the best bang for your buck with regards to hunting and fishing (duck, deer, fresh, salt) access, people, prices and amenities.

In the Lafayette area the food is better than anywhere else in the state, which means it's better than anywhere else in the country.

Move to Lake Charles if you like the smell of 3 week old Easter eggs and the site of refineries. Otherwise just drive to big lake from the Lafayette area when vermillion bay or the basin aren't on.

The drive to cocodrie and to big lake is nearly identical from the Lafayette area, plus the basin has plenty of food and fun on the weekends, not to mention bass, pan fish and public hunting (30-45) mins from Lafayette.

I live in Scott which is next to Lafayette. We're near I-10 so we jump on there to go to Big Lake or Henderson and take Hwy 90 to get to Grand Isle and the bay. Everyone is so friendly and helpful here and Lafayette is right there if you want to head there. Our deer lease is 2 hours north on I-49. All of these major roads are very close to us and easy to access. I totally agree on the food! Like everyone said, figure out what your priorities are as far as what type of fishing you like, hunting and if you prefer living in a large city, suburbs or a field. Lol Good luck on your search. You're picking a great place to live.

I agree 100%. I've been living in Lafayette for almost 12 years and love it. Best food in the entire state by far. Very close to some of the best hunting and fishing in the sate. Tons of big grocerie stores, restaurants, and sporting good stores. Very friendly people and thousands of beautiful women if your single!

lafa is definitely loaded with beautiful women! I haven't been often but it seems like houma would be a pretty sweet place to live too. Cocodrie and dularge always seems to be on fire, and then you have excellent freshwater in all the basin around it.

move to Lafayette if you enjoy 3 hour trips to the grocery store and spending time in a stationary vehicle.

Actually Lafayette is probably the only larger sized city in La. that I would consider living in. Although it's getting a bit too big IMHO.

It literally takes me 5 minutes to get to Rouses, 5 minutes to Lowes, 5 minutes to Lafayette Shooters, 10 minutes to academy and maybe 15 minutes to downtown Lafayette. The traffic can get bad but is not as bad as people think. I love living in Lafayette.

Clearly those examples are not during rush hour traffic. Both of my kids live in Lafayette. Try Amb Caff from Congress to Academy during 5 o'clock traffic. And let's not talk about Holiday season! But I get what you're saying, select areas in town are manageable.
