Buying a home in Couret Farms and La Bon Vie
Mouton has older cottages and ranch-style houses in addition to New Traditional dwellings built over the last 20 years. There are also new constructions. "You'll find a lot of newer homes because the city is expanding into Carencro," Ditch says. "It floods a lot here. The ground in Carencro is higher, and insurance is a little cheaper." Mouton is home to several housing developments, including the older David Martin subdivision and the gated La Bon Vie. "You also got that big new neighborhood Couret Farms. They have two charter schools within the subdivision," Ditch says. Older homes range in price from $135,000 to $385,000. New Traditional styles and recent constructions sell between $250,000 and $475,000.Fun at Moore Park and Graham Brown Memorial Park

You have work, the hospital, education and entertainment only 10 minutes away!" Lafayette Regional Airport is 6 miles from the community.Shopping at the local butcher, at Target or ALDI

GreatSchools:
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.
