The living is not only easy in the parishes of Louisiana’s I-12 Retirement District, but it is also affordable. Housing across the four- parish region comes in a variety of forms, from beautiful farms and rural homesteads in St. Helena and Washington Parishes to small-town feel of communities in St. Tammany and Tangipahoa – and the prices on these homes are competitive with communities across the South.

Taxes are low in the I-12 Retirement District, thanks to Louisiana’s tax policies and efforts to keep living costs down. Louisiana has the seventh lowest local, state, and federal tax burden in the United States and Louisiana has the most generous homestead exemption in the country, with a homestead being free from parish and state property taxes up to a valuation of $75,000.

The low cost of living here, along with friendly, close-knit communities, combine to make Louisiana’s I-12 Retirement District not only a beautiful place to live, but an affordable one as well.
