Quality of Life
Some People Call it "The Simple Life". We Call it Home.
North Louisiana is many things to many people -- a great place to do business, a desirable place to live and raise a family, and an exciting place to enjoy night life, world-class cultural and recreational opportunities, and a sportsmen's paradise. From enticing communities with small town charm to bucolic college towns offering an environment of innovation to inviting urban areas, you can find nearly everything in North Louisiana.
The American dream is still alive in North Louisiana. Low housing costs, a below average cost of living and a low unemployment rate allow many to afford a better life style and in some cases to own their first home. North Louisiana's K-12 school systems offer top quality options from some of the best public schools in the state to excellent private schools. A sophisticated and diverse healthcare system in North Louisiana provides quality health care with some of the highest patient satisfaction rates. Whether you enjoy hunting for game or hunting for bargains, living in northern Louisiana offers something for everyone: a sense of community, great climate, and diverse entertainment and recreational options. No wonder Louisiana has been named the "Happiest State in the America" (Science, 2009).
