Dry area in Slidell (Forest: for sale, crime, house)

[duffy770]

I'm looking to relocate to the Slidell area this summer and was wanting to find out which areas of Slidell stayed dry during the Katrina storm serge. I can deal with wind and rain, but after a mission trip to help out after Katrina I'd like to stay out of surge/flood zones. Any help is appreciated.

thanks,

Frank

It is pretty safe to say that anything close to I-12 was ok, there were some areas back by the pearl that took on some water but in general exit 266 off of I-10 or Gause Blvd to I-12 was fine. You may find some isolated flooding in local areas but you just need to check them keeping in mind that Katrina was supposed to be a 100 year event. I currently have a house for sale that stayed dry in katrina and had no damage, I do not know what you are looking for but would be interested in sending you some info if interested and it is not in a flood zone.

thanks,
Neil

pretty much anything above I-12. I don't know what you are looking for. The prices range from 130-150K for a fixer upper. For a move-in ready home prices are 225K+

I live above I-12 and we don't flood what so ever and the crime is very minor,if any.

Cross Gates, Magnolia Forest and many neighborhoods near and North of I-12 faired well with flooding. There are many nice subdivisions off of Robert Road that also did well. Tanglewood, fountain estates etc.
