Situated between marshlands and the slow-flowing Bayou Lafourche is the small, unincorporated community of Lockport Heights. Most of the northern section consists of farmlands and homes branching off Highway 1. The southern end has local storefronts and more houses. Melinda Punch, the owner of Punch's Seafood Market, says this is a "quiet and close-knit community" supporting its local businesses. "We've been at the same location for 30 years. There are a lot of small local businesses in this area." A canal separates the community from the Town of Lockport.
The market has a mix of older and newer homes
In Lockport Heights, homes to the north are more spaced out than properties to the south. New Traditional houses are in this part of the community, inside the Lake View Plantation development. A handful of new constructions are alongside older ranch-styles that have stood for decades. Manufactured homes are raised on elevated blocks to prevent flood damage, while some front yards have ditches for rainwater drainage. Homes don't often enter the market in Lockport Heights, but the most recent dwelling range in price from about $125,000 to around $275,000. There are also plots of undeveloped land available for purchase.

Flooding and environment trends
Half of the community, particularly the western side, sits within a Special Flood Hazard Area. Beau Toups, a Realtor with Century 21 Action Realty, who lives in the parish, says that although the community is considered at risk of flooding, that could change. "Lafourche Parish is currently updating flood maps, so it may come out for the best," Toups says. As with much of Southern Louisiana, the community is at risk of hurricanes and tropical storms, which can result in wind damage and flooding. The parish also has a history of marsh fires.
