New Traffic Circle at Highway 1077 Eases Traffic for Bedico Creek

The much anticipated traffic circle at Highway 1077 and Bootlegger Road (Highway 1085) has been started by the St. Tammany Parish Department of Transportation.  This crucial junction adjacent to the Archbishop Hannan High School, a renowned private school just south of Bedico Creek, has much traffic as subdivision and industrial growth continues construction north on Highway 1077. 

There are actually 2 major intersections on 1077 which greatly affect the traffic for residents and employees that use this road.  The second junction is north on 1077 at Highway 190.

Although there has been much talk of building a second roundabout at Highway 190, the only one currently under construction is the one at 1077 and Bootlegger Road.

Bedico Creek Preserve, a new home, masterplanned community in St. Tammany Parish, is located out Bootlegger Road (Highway 1085) just 3.2 miles from Interstate 12.  This new community features lots and new homes for sale, and 11 individual Neighborhoods have been built and developed with lots for sale with 2 more Neighborhoods coming online during 2016.  Bedico Creek already has over 200 new residents in our community, so the traffic circle being built at 1077 and 1085 is a welcome relief for those residents that commute to work and have to travel that road twice a day.  With a convenient location near the city of Covington, Highway 21 and all of the new and existing shopping and dining, and its short distance from the interstate, Bedico Creek offers “ease of use” for our

homeowners.

The road construction is being done by Kort’s Construction Services with land clearing and utility relocation being completed in the first phase of this $3.2 million project.  The St. Tammany Parish government plans for the utility location to be done by the end of 2015, and all road construction to be done by fall of 2016.  In addition to being a huge benefit for the current and future homeowners at Bedico Creek Preserve, the new traffic circle at Highway 1077 should also help with school traffic and industrial traffic north of the traffic circle.  In fact, a new Fed Ex distribution center is being built just northwest of the private high school as well.

Premier St. Tammany Parish Master Planned Community

Bedico Creek Preserve, a premier master-planned conservation community in Madisonville, is nestled among nearly 500 acres of green space, lakes and ponds. Preserving and caring for the natural environment and wildlife is a top priority here. Life moves at a slower pace and there’s a healthy respect for the innate beauty of land and water. More than 200 acres of parks, 20+ acres of lakes and water features, a 375-acre nature preserve, and many natural amenities make it a thoughtful choice for discriminating homebuyers.

Driving into the community, the well-appointed main entrance is accented with twin sugar kettle waterfalls on either side and a wide thoroughfare crosses a quaint wooden bridge over Bedico Creek. Passing the gatehouse into the community, even the casual visitor will notice a careful cultivation of the atmosphere of the Northshore of yesteryear.

Inside the community you’ll find a collection of neighborhoods surrounded by thoughtfully planned, man-made amenities. The Rod & Paddle Club complex overlooks a sparkling lake and features the community swimming pool, a large party pavilion, a picnic area with colorful wind sails, a quaint fishing pier, a nine-hole disc golf course and an outdoor fire pit at Sunset Point.  It’s an ideal place for outdoor entertaining, leisurely paddling a canoe on the lake, or spending time with family and friends.
A rustic trail system for hiking within the wildlife preserves of the community and 3.5 miles of lovely paved walking/hiking/biking trails gracefully meander through the surrounding neighborhoods.  These trails connect parks, lakes, ponds and nature preserves to the neighborhoods, making it easy and convenient for homeowners to enjoy their natural surroundings.

Bedico Creek is not just another typical subdivision. It’s a community comprised of beautifully designed new and custom homes, located in individual neighborhoods that range in price from the $230’s to more than $1 million. Multi-generational families will find neighborhoods that suit first-time homebuyers just starting out, growing families, or retirees looking for a low-maintenance, carefree lifestyle.

Deer Park offers smaller lot sizes and square footage homes from the $230’s to $260’s. Courtyard and Garden feature low-maintenance garden homes that begin in the $290’s.  Larger lot neighborhoods like Cypress Crossing, Lakeview, Longview, and Preserve are made up of single-family homes for growing families from the $300’s to the $500’s. Heron Point (just opening this Spring with its own gated access), Estates and Manors were created with upwardly mobile families in mind. These homes start in the $480’s and exceed $1 million.  Two new neighborhoods, Nature Walk and Heron Lake are slated to open later this year. All of them have water or nature views available. Most offer the availability to invest in a lot and build on it in the homeowner’s time frame.

Building a new home is a very important investment of time and money. Every one of the recommended builders at Bedico Creek Preserve has gone through a careful screening process to ensure that buyers are going to get some of the best, most qualified builders in the area. These preferred builders are ready to design and build homes on a lot purchased by the homeowner, or homeowners can use their own plans and builder in most neighborhoods, with approval by the Architectural Control Committee.

Located on Highway 1085 in Madisonville, in the booming I-12 Corridor, Bedico Creek is just minutes from shopping, restaurants, entertainment, and healthcare facilities, with more being added each year.  Homeowners with children have access to some of the best public and private schools that St. Tammany Parish has to offer.

Builders Are Enthusiastic With the Upturn in the Housing Market

Builders are enthusiastic with the upturn in the housing market and are seeing more new home buyers as the economy rises. The stronger job market caused by the addition of 3 million jobs in the U.S. has encouraged more people to become new homeowners. In fact, nationwide single-family homes sold for close to full asking price!
After a low sales report in March due to the harsh winter weather, it is encouraging to see an increase in standing inventory of new homes and new homes under construction. According to the current data release from HUD and the U.S. Census Bureau newly built home sales rose 6.8% in April. Regionally, new homes sales increased by 5.8% in the southern region. The new homes sales pace is expected to raise the amount of new homes for sale on the market creating a 4.8 month supply of new home inventory which is crucial to the housing market recovery.

“Sales are moving forward and our builder members are telling us they are starting to see more activity as more buyers get off the fence and enter the marketplace,” said NAHB Chairman Tom Woods.

At Bedico Creek Preserve, our master planned development in St. Tammany Parish had much to celebrate during the 1^st four months of 2015 achieving 22 new home sales for a total gross sales volume amount of $7,671,150. Bedico Creek, a collection of neighborhoods inside of a Conservation Community, offers a variety of new homes in a selection of price ranges both for lots for sale as well as new homes for sale. In one of our exclusive neighborhoods, one of our top St. Tammany Parish builders sold a Spec Home for a record sales price of $1,025,000 which comes out to $241 / per square foot.
In addition to the high volume of new home sales in 2015, Bedico Creek Preserve also had a phenomenal sales volume of $250,000 in lot sales in the first 4 months of the year. To keep pace with the increasing demand for local home buyers in the Greater New Orleans area, Bedico Creek Preserve opened two exclusive new home neighborhoods – Cypress Crossing and Deer Park – and the subdivision now offers lots for sale in Lakeveiw Neighborhood and Heron Point Neighborhood as well. Site plan (plat) approvals for new future Neighborhoods are also currently underway.
