What BestPlaces Users Say about Louisiana

Louisiana is a state in the southeastern region of the United States known for its diverse culture, vibrant music scene, and delicious cuisine. From the bustling city of New Orleans to the serene bayous of Cajun Country, Louisiana offers a unique and dynamic living experience. With this context in mind, let's take a look at what residents have to say about living in this state.

According to numerous user reviews on BestPlaces.net, Louisiana is praised for its rich history, friendly locals, and lively atmosphere. One user, JohnD from Baton Rouge, states, "Living in Louisiana has truly been a one-of-a-kind experience. The people here are warm and welcoming, and the food is unbeatable." Another reviewer, KellyG from New Orleans, adds, "I've lived in Louisiana my whole life and wouldn't have it any other way. The state's culture and traditions make it a truly unique place to call home."

However, not all reviews are positive. Some users express concerns about the state's high crime rates and lack of job opportunities. For example, SarahS from Shreveport writes, "I've been living in Louisiana for a few years now and crime is a major issue in many cities. It's important to do your research before choosing a neighborhood to live in." Similarly, MikeR from Lafayette shares, "While I love the lively atmosphere of Louisiana, job opportunities are scarce and the cost of living can be high."

Despite these challenges, many residents still see the beauty and charm of living in Louisiana. As JanaK from Lake Charles puts it, "Louisiana may have its flaws, but it's a place that truly captures your heart. From the music to the food to the people, there's always something to love about this state." Overall, it seems that Louisiana remains a beloved place to live, with its unique culture and strong sense of community outweighing any drawbacks.

not getting better - 10/3/2007
I have lived in Louisiana my entire life. Unfortunately I haven't made the move out of state yet but I soon plan to do so here shortly. The overall quality of life here in south louisiana seems to slowly get worse with the crime, pollution, poor public education, historically corrupt state goverment, and poor job market. It is unusually difficult to really plant roots here and start a family without making many personal sacrifices. I am planning to relocate to the pacific northwest simply because I have always been fond of that part of the country and I believe that I will be able to finally start a family with my Read More

Baton Rouge doesnt have much to offer - 3/29/2007
I agree with the last statement. I moved from another state almost a year ago and still have not found anything great about this area. First of all the people dont even respect their living space. Alot of people throw their trash out the window of their car that is if they even own a car. It is so expensive to change the plates of your car. I have met alot of people in this area that have lived all their life here so do not realize they are missing out on a lot of different things. If you are a young trending person do not move to baton rouge area you will be bored out of your mind. Another thing in this state if you get a ticket they dont write the amount on the ticket they call you later to let you know how much the ticket is. In this system it leads to corruption instead of putting the amount of the ticket from the time the ticket is written. In this kind of system it is up to the system, like a guessing game. Louisiana does not encourage people to move here from another Read More

Summers in Louisiana and hot 90+ day time and often 75 to 80 even at 11:00 PM.
Thats late May to Mid Sept. Humidity in the North is not all that high so the temps. are not as bad as it may seem. The South generally has high humidity so that is a different story. Fall (late Sept to often early Dec. is great.) Mild throughout the State with much color. Winters are short with about 2 or 3 light freezes in the North, rarely a 32 in the Read More
