Did you know that 5% of Prien's population can speak French? It's true--over 22% of the residents in Prien come from French ancestry.

Prien, LA has just over 7,000 inhabitants and has recently begun expanding, which is great for anyone who is looking to move on in. Prien is close enough to large cities to allow you to have the necessities of life that you would expect from a large city, but far away enough that you may truly feel secluded. Since Prien is expanding, much of the housing is recently built. This gives you a wide variety to choose from, as you can have vintage or modern housing, depending on what you're looking for. This also means that it'll be a little bit easier for you to find housing.

Moving to Prien

Before you move to a city like Prien, there are a few things you may want to keep in mind. Living in a small city is extremely different from moving into a large city. In a smaller city, you'll quickly become friendly with your neighbors, so before you decide to rent a home, make sure you talk to your local residents. Try to choose people that you will get along with, as you will most likely have them as neighbors for a while.

Buying a House in Prien

Prien's recent boom in popularity is a big benefit for people who want newer housing with fewer issues. If you do find yourself looking at some of the older houses that exist in Prien, there are a few things you will want to keep in mind. Older houses might look great from the outside, but they can also conceal problems. Make sure you completely understand issues that come with the house before you decide to purchase. If you are not sure about the condition of a house, hire a professional to help you out with inspections before you buy.

Things You'll Need

Before you can purchase a house, there are a few things that you'll need. The first thing you'll need to have is a good credit history. Check out your credit before you go in to purchase a house; are you in good standing? You'll also need to have a deposit ready and proof of income. This proves to the bank that you are serious about your purchase and that you will be able to make your payments on time. Also make sure to have your previous renting or buying history with you, this will show the bank that you consistently pay on time. Once you have these things in order, you'll have everything ready to purchase a home.

Renting an Apartment

Renting an apartment is extremely similar to buying a home. Just like an old house, an old apartment may be concealing many problems and issues if it's old. Make sure you give it a good check before you make your decision.

You will also need to have your credit and deposit ready, just like for a house. There may be a few apartment complexes that will tell you they don't check for credit. Be aware of these apartments, this is generally a sign that they don't care about the quality of their apartments or the tenants. If you're interested in having a nice apartment for the long term, make sure you have a landlord that is asking all of the questions. You get what you pay for!

Before You Sign

Before you sign any contract, make sure that you fully understand what you are signing. Ask for clarification if there are any parts of the contract that you don't understand, or seek a legal consultation if you have any concerns about the contract.

Neighborhoods in Prien

Prien is considered a small city, so the whole city kind of functions as one giant neighborhood. You can expect the cost of living to be slightly higher in Prien than in other cities, since the average income in Prien is above the U.S. average. Many of the people who live in Prien are well-educated executives. If you feel comfortable in this type of environment, you will feel right at home in Prien.

North Prien: If you're looking to get away from the hustle and bustle, this neighborhood might be your best bet. North Prien is in the area near I-210. It's where you'll find Prien Lake Plaza and the L'Auberge Casino Resort. It's pretty rural up here and there aren't too many available homes for rent, but if you can find one here, you might enjoy getting away from it all.

South Prien: South Prien has more of a typical neighborhood vibe than the north side. This part of town is home to Prien Lake Park, as well as the giant Walmart Supercenter. This area is more inhabited, so you'll find a good mix of renters and owners living here in mostly single-family homes. If you're looking to be a part of a tight knit and sociable community, then South Prien is where you should look.

Living in Prien

Living in Prien can offer a very peaceful experience. Most of the people who inhabit Prien are either executives or retirees, meaning it's a great place to retire, but also a great place to raise a family. Here, you can focus on what you want for your life, rather than get swept up in the craziness of big city life.

In Louisiana, food is a big deal. Restaurants in this city really evoke this authentic, southern style that's prevalent throughout the entire state. La Truffe Sauvage is a favorite for Louisiana-French seafood dining, and Pat's of Henderson is a local favorite for crawfish gumbo. These restaurants provide what you're looking for during those times where you don't want to clean the kitchen. A good look around the neighborhood will provide you with even more options, as well.

In such a small city, you can expect that less people will use cars. Here, commutes will be shorter and you won't have to deal with as much noise. If you're looking for a place that gives you a nice small-town feel, but that is close enough to major cities to give you the essentials, Prien might be your answer.
