With a beautiful landscape, lively Cajun culture at every turn and a resounding “Joie de Vivre” (Joy of Living), who wouldn’t want to call Vermilion Parish home? There is so much to see and do here, and with access to outstanding educational, medical and employment resources, it is no wonder why Vermilion Parish draws people from all walks of life. According to Betty LeBlanc of Betty LeBlanc Realty, Inc., “Vermilion Parish is THE place to live, with several annual festivals, lots of good restaurants and the friendliest people around.”

When it comes to finding the right home, the parish offers something for everyone, from Acadian-style homes to traditional and colonial styles. LeBlanc states that the prices are quite reasonable in Vermilion Parish in comparison to other parishes, as the average home price ranges between $130,000 and $140,000. Homebuyers can choose from traditional neighborhoods, well-maintained homes in the historical districts and plenty of newer developments. The area offers rental options through a number of apartment complexes as well, which feature studio, one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom units.

Retirees and seniors also have ample choices when it comes to housing in Vermilion Parish. Several retirement, assisted living and skilled nursing care communities are readily available to meet the needs of the area’s aging population.
