Chris Ledet Homes Ltd. has successfully completed 4 homes in the beautiful Acadia Plantation development. This unique neighborhood has been planned as a “Traditional Neighborhood Development”; the first of its kind in Southeast Louisiana. A Traditional Neighborhood Development is modeled after towns and villages of days past, and includes a variety of housing types and land uses, a vibrant and active central area, and designed so all areas are within walking distance.
More homes on are under construction, along with community amenities that will make this a very desirable address for our area residents.

Chris and Nancy have been such a huge benefit to Bayou Area Habitat for Humanity on so many different levels. At a time when we needed a tremendous amount of construction leadership, experience and knowledge following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, they were able to lead the construction process of nearly 50 homes in a year while turning our Habitat affiliate into a shinning star for Habitat for Humanity on a national scale.
