Is there a lot of new construction in Walker?
Yes, it's been one of the more consistent new-build areas in Livingston Parish. I can tell you which communities have standing inventory versus build-to-order, and what incentives builders are offering this month.
Is Walker worth the extra commute?
That depends on where you work and what you're buying. Compare a Walker home with the closest equivalent in Denham Springs or Ascension Parish and look at the price difference against the extra drive time — sometimes it's clearly worth it, sometimes it isn't.

Parts of Livingston Parish flooded badly in 2016, and risk varies sharply by location and elevation. Check the FEMA zone, ask about flood history and get an insurance quote on the specific address.
