Zachary, Louisiana

Located in the Baton Rouge Metro, Zachary, Louisiana is a great place to call home. A relatively small city with a population of around 15,000, it has been recognized as a great place for families by both Family Circle Magazine and NerdWallet in 2012, and 2013 respectively. Originally farmland, this city developed after a railroad track and depot were built through it, but its name still pays homage to Darel Zachary, who owned the land until the early 1900s. Today, the area is home to thriving new communities with great job and educational opportunities. In fact, the Zachary Community School Board, which services the area has been ranked No. 1 in Louisiana for the ninth consecutive year.
