Living in Zachary, Louisiana is nice but it has its not so nice parts too. Compared to living in other places the atmosphere and environment of Zachary isn't the best part. The people aren't as nice I'm Zachary like other cities. The nice thing about Zachary is the convenience of everything. You can survive living in Zachary without leaving Zachary if you want to.
Zachary has become more trashy over my years of living here, but there is a great sense of community. I have made many connections, and I appreciate the support I get from my friends and family here. Not every community is as tight-knit as Zachary is. Though I do not love Louisiana as a whole, the people surrounding me in Zachary are moral, loyal, and fun.
I grew up in Zachary. I love the environment here and the friends that I have made. However, it used to be a lot better of a place overall. The school academics have gone down in the past few years. Also, the nightlife and safety needs much improvement. There is not a lot to do in the city and the things that are offered here are not safe for all ages.
