The Zachary area has a rich and varied history, with a cultural presence unimaginable to most towns our size. This unique area maintains the peaceful southern lifestyle of the past, while supporting a thriving business district with quaint antique shops and excellent restaurants. We are less than 30 minute's from two of the state's largest universities, Southern and LSU, as well as the refined culture of symphonies or art museums available. This area is also a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, boasting many lakes and rivers. Our mild climate makes it easy to participate in year-round golfing, tennis, hunting, and gardening, or taking in historic sites and sporting events.

Just over an hour from New Orleans to the east and Lafayette to the west, Zachary residents find themselves dining in some of the world's finest restaurants, listening to the world's greatest jazz and Cajun musicians and taking part in the many fairs and festivals held throughout the region.

Our schools have also been a major draw to the area as they are top-ranked in the state. To learn more about area schools, please click here.
