Acadian homes from the 1970s offer at least 1,600 square feet on an acre of land for prices between $150,000 and $250,000. Costs scale from $300,000 to $500,000 for porch-lined ranch styles or contemporary cottages from the ‘90s and early 2000s. Buyers will find newly constructed subdivisions like the development at Magnolia Square, featuring modern single-family homes and luxury townhomes adjacent to Stab’s Steakhouse and Seafood. Many Central residents have large plots of land, some well over 20 acres. A few residents have million-dollar estates with 50 acres of land. Sidewalks line subdivisions and locals often enjoy an evening stroll. Community streets wind by wide-open, grassy areas and woodsy plots of land.

Award-winning BREC recreation

Greenwell Springs is a popular spot to ride horses and features a small equestrian center. Dog owners leash up their pups and head to the Blackwater Conservation Area, a once-abandoned gravel mine transitioned to a protected natural area. The conservation area has a central lake, ample nature trails and a small pavilion for visitors to explore and enjoy. Hunting is prohibited, but licensed anglers are welcome to fish. Local flora includes Tupelo Gum, Bald Cypress, River Birch and Persimmon trees.

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.
