Union County balances small-town ease with big outdoor appeal. Anchored by Farmerville and framed by pine forests and rolling hills, it’s a place where the day’s biggest decisions might be which trail to hike or which fishing cove to try. Lake D’Arbonne is the star, with miles of shoreline, stellar crappie and bass fishing, and family-friendly cabins and campgrounds at Lake D’Arbonne State Park. Wildlife watchers and paddlers also find plenty to love at D’Arbonne National Wildlife Refuge.
Schools are a point of pride, with Union Parish Schools and D’Arbonne Woods Charter School offering programs that keep students engaged from the classroom to the playing field. Community traditions run deep, from Friday night lights to the Louisiana Watermelon Festival, bringing neighbors together in every season. Daily needs are close at hand, while bigger-city conveniences are an easy drive south in Monroe, home to the University of Louisiana at Monroe, and west in Ruston, home to Louisiana Tech University.
Housing options span peaceful in-town blocks in Bernice, lakefront retreats with private docks, and wooded acreage where you can spread out and breathe. Whether you’re relocating for schools, downsizing near the water, or marketing a home with acreage, an experienced local agent can make your move seamless.
