Broussard
Broussard is what happens when a sleepy crossroads notices Lafayette creeping south and decides to cash in. Subdivisions multiply along US-90, the schools test well, and a new restaurant opens roughly every time someone signs a mortgage. The tradeoff is honest: you trade walkable charm and downtown access for square footage, a two-car garage, and neighbors who also moved here for the square footage. Dating-wise, expect engaged couples, young families, and the occasional oilfield bachelor doing well enough to buy new construction. Bring a partner if you want a social life. Bars are a drive.
