Central; Louisiana's newest city
-
5/6/2007
In the past year Central has broken away from Baton Rouge and become it's own city, the 12th largest in the state. Housing is booming with exsisting houses up over 20%, new subdivisions are springing up everywhere, some national builders, DH Horton are planning nice subdivisions and begining this August we will have our own school district, which will be the # 1 or 2 in the state. I hope in the next few years, when stats are in you will be able to rank us. we have a nice mixture of rural setting with morden homes, farms, new stores and restaurants a very low crime rate. Altough we have traffic congestion due to growth and a very high sales tax our propiety taxes are very low thanks to Huey P Longs Homestead excemption, no taxes on 75,000 house and we pay on the value above $75,000. eg. $140,000 house I pay $340. per year. Auto and homeowners insurance is very high and so are electric and gas.
Love your site and look foward to see Central ranked in the near future.
