Residential Living
Jeff Davis Parish’s top-notch educational offerings, modern healthcare, strong economy, and the availability of excellent services and programs are complemented by affordable, high-quality housing—all together making this area ideal for professionals, families and retirees.
The variety of housing is exceptional here, as there is certainly something for every lifestyle and budget. Charming older dwellings and farms are finely fused with beautiful residences on the lakefront and custom-built estates encompassed by acreage. Those not in the market to buy are accommodated with plenty of rental and leasing options.
The area’s mature population has a choice of a number of senior living residences equipped with top-notch services designed with the senior in mind. In 2004, the Southwest Louisiana War Veterans Home opened in Jennings. The 91,000-square-foot, architecturally enhanced facility provides a comfortable home of 156 veterans.
The area is supplied with a host of knowledgeable real estate agents ready to serve prospective homebuyers and renters. A great understanding of the communities of Jeff Davis Parish, plus a multitude of relocation services, help to make the transition smooth. Visit the Jeff Davis Parish Business Alliance website (www.JDBusinessAlliance.com) for a listing of the area’s top real estate agents.
