North
Webster Parish is home of many “blue highway” towns,
off the Interstate and situated in the middle of
miles and miles of timberland; buildings are
sometimes brick, with signage, suggesting an
earlier, simpler time.
In our area of Louisiana, you can easily buy a house
with a yard and a garage, on a nice street, for
under $100,000...and sometimes well under. The
rental market is a similar story. For what a
one-bedroom apartment, crammed in with noisy
neighbors might cost in the city, you can often rent
a whole house in a small town.

The
school system in North Webster Parish is better than
most of their urban counterparts. Springhill High
School is
a sophisticated educational facility is less than
one year old, with state of the art computer and
applied science labs. The Sarepta school district
recently proposed and successfully completed a voter
supported “bond issue” to build a state of the art
educational facility. Educational opportunities
abound in our area, from highly qualified
pre-school, to high school through a continued
educational system.
