Deville is a two-stoplight community outside of Alexandria
Deville has two stoplights and hundreds of acres of forests and farmland. This rural community of just over 1,200 residents sits deep in the country outskirts of Rapides Parish, between quiet bayous and unhurried state highways. Residents enjoy privacy on sizable, woodsy lots and housing values just under the Alexandria metro area. The community's commercial infrastructure includes a few locally owned restaurants, a gas station and a post office—which many locals prefer. It's about 20 miles outside the city, offering access to conveniences while away from noise.
Large properties with modern farmhouses and Acadian homes
Deville's draw is its land, and many active listings are undeveloped private plots. They mainly measure at least an acre, but several properties cover over 20 acres. The community's winding backroads steer past small pastures with grazing animals, wide-open green spaces and gravel driveways that lead to various homes. Many homes aren't visible from the street, tucked back into dense groups of towering pines and maples. Buyers will find a mix of manufactured, ranch-style and Acadian homes built across the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Deville Estates, a small subdivision of recently built homes, features a few modern Acadian homes and farmhouses. Homes sell from $90,000 to $400,000 for manufactured and ranch-style houses and $400,000 to $560,000 for new builds.
Deville Donuts and combination platters at Rio Rojo Mexican Restaurant
