Friendly community with a rural atmosphere
Bayou Lafourche runs through the community of Raceland, about 15 miles from Downtown Thibodaux. “It allows people to still be kind of country on the outskirts of the Thibodaux area,” says Kelli Guidry, a broker with eXp Realty. While much of the area is undeveloped, the existing homes sit close together. This helps create what Lynette Fazzio, programming librarian with Lafourche Public Libraries, describes as friendly, family-oriented people. Neighbors come together for baseball games at the Raceland Community Park or to shop at the Central Lafourche Market. “Of course, there’s the whole food thing – people love to come together and eat,” Fazzio says.
Raceland is a friendly community with a rural atmosphere.

Food and shops near the overpass
Most of the businesses in Raceland are in the Sugarland Shopping Center, near the U.S. Route 90 overpass. El Paso Mexican Grill is a local chain known for its margaritas and fajitas. It is across the street from Kyoto Steakhouse and Sushi, which has signature dishes, including the Raceland Roll and the Highway 90 Spring Roll. There are several shops, including a Dollar Tree. It is impossible to talk about restaurants in Raceland without talking about Beck’s, which sits on Bayou Lafourche. “Beck’s is the neighborhood go-to for a night out,” Guidry says. Its standard menu features Louisiana classics, like gumbo. Weekly themed menus include Monday Steak Nights and Thursday Burger Nights. The closest grocery store is Rouses Market, which is about 8 miles away, although Walmart is only about 3 miles away. Shoppers can visit the Lafourche Central Market, which is held on the 3rd Saturday of every month at Louisiana’s Cajun Bayou Visitor Center. People can find fresh fruits and vegetables, baked goods, soaps and arts and crafts there.
Raceland residents can head to Beck's for live music.
The produce section at Rouses Market is always a popular stop in Raceland.

A mix of homes and undeveloped land
Towering cypress trees and sturdy oak trees surround Raceland’s homes, which sit on small, grassy plots of land. Driveways split off from the streets, often leading to carports. There is a lot of older construction from the 1940s to 1980s, especially closer to U.S. Route 90. These include Acadian and ranch styles, as well as Craftsman homes. There are several new traditional houses built between the late 2000s and the 2020s. “Because it still has so much land to be developed on, people can get affordable housing – even new construction – out that way,” Guidry says. Older properties cost $125,000 to $250,000, while newer ones range from $200,000 to $325,000. There is a lot of undeveloped land, with lots typically costing $20,000 to $75,000. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Raceland has a relatively high risk of hurricanes and a relatively moderate risk of flooding. Residents are encouraged to purchase flood insurance, which many private and all federal mortgage lenders require.
There is a lot of curb appeal in the neighborhood Raceland.

Community park is a recreation hub
Raceland Community Park offers so much more than a playground. Kids can sign up for the Central Lafourche Baseball Association, which has both baseball and softball, during the spring and the Lafourche Soccer League during the summer and fall. There are also basketball and tennis courts. The Raceland Branch of Lafourche Public Library includes an extensive catalog of books, movies and CDs. It also has a full calendar of programming that includes Storytime, craft nights and Homeschool Hangouts. “Oh, and bingo!” Fazzio says. “You’ve got to have bingo.” The library also hosts computer classes. If patrons cannot make it to a larger class, they can schedule a one-on-one meeting with a librarian.
The playground at Raceland Community Park is a fun place to spend the afternoon.

La Fete Du Monde is an annual celebration
While residents of Raceland travel to Thibodaux for some of their biggest events, including the Louisiana King Cake Festival and the Thibodaux Mardi Gras Parade, there is one annual celebration they do not have to travel to: La Fete Du Monde. This three-day festival is held every April. Attendees stroll through the open fields of the Visitor Center, which is filled with carnival rides and vendors serving Cajun dishes like boudin balls and daiquiris. They can enjoy live music all weekend and compete in events, such as a cornhole tournament.
Highway 1 runs through Raceland
Raceland is car-dependent. Highway 1 runs through the entire community and connects with U.S. Route 90. It leads to New Orleans, about 40 miles away. There is a Greyhound station near the overpass, where people can catch a bus to Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, about 31 miles away. Ochsner St. Anne Hospital is in the area, less than 1 mile from the U.S.-90 overpass.
