Bayou Meadows II
Great schools with outdoor access
Median $670K·Walkability 2.3/10·Schools 8.0/10
The defining feature of Bayou Meadows II is the water—Spring Lake sits less than a mile away, and Petty's Bayou Public Access is a thirteen-minute walk from your front door, which means kayaks and fishing gear live closer to your door than a coffee run. The community sprawls across thirty-six acres in the Countryfield Estates Area, with individual lots averaging just over two-fifths of an acre. It's the kind of scale that keeps things intimate without feeling cramped, and homes here run around fifty-three thousand dollars.

Estimates use a 6.49% 30-year fixed rate (current Freddie Mac average), an aggressive ~45% housing-to-income ratio (roughly what FHA underwriting can allow for a buyer with no other monthly debts — your number depends on your debts and credit), this area's median sale price, plus estimated insurance and PMI below 20% down. Not a commitment to lend, and not an APR — your actual rate and payment will vary.
