A trio of villages

Surrounded by vast rural Louisiana landscapes, Ida-Hosston is composed of a grouping of three villages: Ida, Hosston and Gilliam. “Hosston is a very very small town with a library,” says Realtor Amanda Hodges who has 5 years of experience in the area and works with Homesmart Realty South. The local libraries have regular events to spice up a peaceful pastoral lifestyle with limited retail.

Limited retail

Being a collection of small rural villages, Hosston-Ida makes a trade-off in its retail selection for peace and quiet, although there are a few small businesses around to support.
