Reserve buyer questions
How is Reserve different from LaPlace?
Reserve is smaller and generally less expensive, with more of its economy tied directly to the river industry. LaPlace has more retail, more subdivisions and the interstate junction.
Is this a reasonable New Orleans commute?
Yes for many people — figure LaPlace plus a few minutes, so roughly 35–40 minutes to the metro outside peak traffic.
What insurance questions should I ask?
Wind and flood coverage, roof age, any elevation certificate, and the home's claim history. Get quotes on the specific address before your inspection period ends.
