Service area
Lafayette Parish, and the parishes around it.
Close enough to walk a property the same week. Acadiana is small, and that is the point: this is one person covering a market he can drive across in forty minutes rather than a franchise covering a state.
The territory
Drawn as a plat, not embedded as a map
Lafayette Parish at the center, with St. Landry to the north, St. Martin to the east and Iberia to the south. Every town below is inside a comfortable drive of the parish seat.
Parishes served
- Lafayette Parish
- Lafayette, Youngsville, Broussard, Carencro, Scott, Duson and the unincorporated parish between them.
- St. Landry Parish
- Opelousas and the surrounding communities, about twenty-five minutes north on I-49.
- St. Martin Parish
- Breaux Bridge and the eastern edge of Broussard, across the parish line.
- Iberia Parish
- New Iberia and the US 90 corridor running south.
- Records
- Each parish keeps its own conveyance records and its own assessor, which is why the parish, not the mailing address, decides where a succession is filed.
Selling as-is
Town by town, for a house that needs work
Condition, timeline and title, written for each place rather than copied between them.
-
01
Youngsville
Mostly post-2000 construction, which changes what needing work even means here.
-
02
Broussard
The US 90 corridor, a parish line running through town, and a historic core.
-
03
Carencro
Older stock near the center, newer subdivisions out toward Gloria Switch Road.
-
04
Opelousas
St. Landry Parish, long-held family land, and successions filed at a different courthouse.
Buying and listing
Town by town, with a REALTOR®
What the housing stock is, what the corridors are, and what a listing in each place is competing against.
-
01
Lafayette
The parish seat. The Saint Streets, the Oil Center, River Ranch, and the Vermilion.
-
02
Youngsville
Subdivision inventory, Sugar Mill Pond, and the fastest growth in the parish.
-
03
Broussard
Two parishes, one town, and an industrial corridor that drives the local job market.
-
04
Carencro
I-49 access, a lower price band, and a mix of eras inside a small footprint.
Also served
Scott, Breaux Bridge and New Iberia
Scott sits west of Lafayette on I-10 inside Lafayette Parish. Breaux Bridge is east across the parish line in St. Martin. New Iberia is south in Iberia Parish, down the US 90 corridor.
All three are worked. None has a page yet, and that is deliberate. A city page here gets built when there is enough that is genuinely true of that town and not of the others to fill it. Three pages that say something beat twelve that say the same thing with the name swapped.
If your property is in one of them, or anywhere else in Acadiana, ask anyway.

Same phone number for all three, and an honest answer about which one fits your property.
Service area questions
What the territory actually covers
Which parishes does Nexus cover?
Lafayette Parish first, and the parishes around it: St. Landry to the north, St. Martin to the east and Iberia to the south. In practice that is Lafayette, Youngsville, Broussard, Carencro, Scott, Duson, Opelousas, Breaux Bridge and New Iberia, plus the unincorporated parish in between.
Why do only some towns have their own page?
Because a city page only earns its place when there are at least four things true of that town and false of the others: the housing stock, the corridors, the drainage, the price band, the courthouse. Scott, Breaux Bridge and New Iberia are worked but do not have pages yet. Three pages that say something beat twelve that say the same thing with the name swapped.
Does the parish actually matter, or is it just an address?
It matters. The parish decides which clerk of court holds the conveyance records, which assessor sets the tax bill, which school district an address is zoned into, and where a succession has to be opened. A Broussard mailing address can sit in Lafayette Parish or St. Martin Parish, and the answer changes all four.
Is Youngsville in Lafayette Parish or somewhere else?
Youngsville is in Lafayette Parish, and that is worth stating because the mailing addresses around it are genuinely confusing. Addresses south and east of it can carry a Youngsville or Broussard mailing address while sitting in St. Martin Parish, which changes the clerk of court, the assessor and the school zoning. The parcel number on the assessor record settles it, not the envelope.
Will you work outside these parishes?
Ask. The limit is practical rather than territorial: this is one person who walks the properties himself, so the useful radius is what can be reached and revisited without a hotel. If a property sits just outside, say so and you will get a straight answer either way.
