Jarreau. Wrapped along the curve of False River’s oxbow waters, this community prizes sunrise fishing runs and evenings when the lake turns bronze. Weekends revolve around the shoreline—ski boats and kayaks share space with anglers guided by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries’ resources at Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. Just up the road, New Roads offers festivals, dining, and courthouse-square strolls that complement Jarreau’s easygoing, outdoors-first rhythm.
Families appreciate strong schooling options. Public campuses are managed by the Pointe Coupee Parish School Board, with Livonia High serving many local students, and nearby faith-based choices include Catholic of Pointe Coupee and independent False River Academy. Healthcare, groceries, and everyday services cluster along the False River corridor, while a straight shot to Baton Rouge puts regional employers, arts, and big-game Saturdays at Louisiana State University within an easy drive.
Out here in Pointe Coupee Parish, weekends can be as simple as a shoreline picnic beneath cypress and herons or a quick hop to Livonia for local eats. Commuters appreciate state-maintained roadways and real-time updates from the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, making it practical to live by the water and work across the river. Whether you’re drawn by the lake lifestyle, schools with deep community ties, or the balance of privacy and access, Jarreau makes it easy to put down roots. When you’re ready to buy or sell, Agent Pronto can introduce you to a top local agent who knows the market—and the water—by heart.
