Sugar Mill has new construction and 21st-century homes
Sugar Mill offers newer construction while remaining close to Houma's amenities. "The area has some of the higher-priced luxury homes in Houma. You'll see doctors and lawyers. It's right off 311, and unfortunately, it is hit or miss with the flood zones," says Realtor Beau Toups with Century 21 Action Realty. The community is excellent for those who may want a larger or more updated home but don't want to be too far from the action. It's also home to some excellently rated schools and well-kept parks, so families may be attracted to moving to this section of Houma.
Higher-priced homes and townhouses on Bayou Black
The neighborhood has wide, sunny streets and neat lots decorated with mulberry, oak and palmetto trees. Several subdivisions fill the area, typically featuring New Traditional homes and ranch-style houses listed between $245,000 and $335,000. Alternatively, larger homes and mansions with Cape Cod or Neoclassical-inspired exteriors are priced between $470,000 and $800,000. There's also a small townhouse community on Bayou Black, where prices are typically between $270,000 and $300,000. With the community's sunny, hot climate, many homes have backyard pools, and some homes feature solar panels for energy efficiency. Most homes in Sugar Mill are at risk of significant flooding during storms, such as Hurricane Francine in 2024. Residents can purchase private flood insurance or enroll in the National Flood Insurance Program. Homeowner's insurance is another necessity for inevitable hurricane damage, though rising deductible prices or issues with insurance companies have caused some homeowners to go without.
Sugar Mill is a welcoming neighborhood with charming homes.
Larger homes in Sugar Mill usually sit on lots exceeding 1 acre.
