Broussard Reviews

I moved my family to Broussard about 8 years ago and fell in love with the community. City officials are actively involved and very responsive to residents. The city has a small town feel but plenty places to shop, restaurants, an outstanding brand new park, and even a zoo! The public schools are good as well which is important having 3 kids.
It's a nice, safe communtiy, relatively diverse racially and economically, with good schools and shopping, although not much in the way of nightlife or dining
Driving anywhere in town from Broussard is on average of 10-15. Broussard is a perfect place to live in if you are looking for a true suburb as it is quiet not as crowded as Lafayette but there is little to do.
