Deville
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
Deville is almost entirely residential, with only a few restaurants and a gas station along Louisiana Highway 115. Deville Donuts opens at 4:45 a.m. daily, offering coffee, ice cream, soft drinks and various donut options, from glazed to apple bear claws. The donut shop also has a drive-through. Rio Rojo Mexican Restaurant sits next to Deville Donuts and serves staples like arroz con pollo, street tacos and Mexican tortas. Deville Dairy Corner offers burgers, chicken strip baskets and ice cream sundaes. Dollar General and Holloway General Store, about 6 miles away, offer grocery essentials, while big-box grocery stores are in Alexandria.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
