Located along the mighty Mississippi River just outside of Baton Rouge, the town of Addis, LA is one of the best places in Louisiana to call home. With a history of roadhouses and railroads, this old frontier establishment has grown significantly since its beginnings in the late 19th century.

Despite the median household income rising by more than $14,000 during that same time, the cost of living index remains remarkably low - more than nine points below the national average.

Addis was originally part of a Spanish land grant in its early days, until 1831 when Isadore Daigle acquired the St. Delphine land for his wife and built a mansion. By the late 19th century, a railroad from New Orleans to Addis was already being constructed and by the turn of the century, Addis was already developed as a railroad town.
