The High-Rollers’ Real-Estate-Chase on Two-Wheels: The Top 10 Most Bikeable Cities in Louisiana
–
Redfin dropped a bombshell with its catalog of the most bike-friendly cities in Cajun country, aka Louisiana.
–
You are more likely to run into a biker gang (of the cardio-loving variety) than a gator in these towns. They’re taking over the Louisiana scene with pedal power!
–
Bikers beware, if you’re looking to trek these places, brace for the bling because housing prices aren’t exactly for the faint of pocket.
–
A stroll (or a brisk pedal) around these cities is sure to charm you with unique attractions and, quite possibly, your dream house in the backdrop.

Ever wondered how the comfort of biking can align with your real estate endeavors? Well, Redfin is your matchmaker.
Alright folks, here’s my hot take: Pedal-oriented city design is gaining traction across the nation faster than a bald eagle on a downhill glide. And, Louisiana, when not headfirst in gumbo or jiving to jazz, is leading the charge. Not the first place that comes to mind when you think biking, right? But these cities are more cycle-friendly than your spin class freak friend is interested in your diet.
But as the subtle song of the bike bell echoes more frequently down Louisiana’s streets, a new strain appears – hefty house prices. Evidently, being environmentally friendly and charming just isn’t cheap. Remember when all you needed to catch a break in the real estate market was a good credit score? Well, take note because the times, they are a-changing. Nowadays, you might need to fork out extra for air (quality, that is), and leg space (of the biking track sort, naturally).
So, in essence, if you’re tired of traffic, love the wilderness, and are fiscally furnished enough to overlook the housing prices, this could be your golden ticket. Or should I say, green ticket? And remember, if you can’t choose between two houses, just pedal around the block a couple more times – I guarantee, the answer will come wheeling in!
