Meanwhile, the new bypass road promises to ease traffic for over 3,000 daily drivers, connecting Highway 1088 to Highway 190. These developments signal growth and opportunity in Mandeville, Covington, and Madisonville, driving buyer demand in a market with limited homes. At Three45 Realty, our 3% listing agreements and 45-day listing terms help you save big and sell faster than the area’s 52-day average. Ready to take advantage of this seller’s market?

What Infrastructure News Means for Sellers
Infrastructure improvements and challenges are reshaping the Northshore housing market:
Mandeville Bypass Road ($34M Investment): This 3.5-mile, two-lane road, which broke ground on April 7, 2025, will link Highway 1088 and Highway 190 near Pelican Park, reducing congestion with roundabouts at key intersections. Expected to finish in two years, it’s already drawing interest from buyers seeking easier commutes.
Flooding Woes Highlight Resilience Needs: The May 6, 2025, weather event brought heavy rain, hail, and flooding, exposing drainage issues in Mandeville, Covington, and Madisonville. Longtime residents reported rapid road flooding, forcing detours and raising concerns about infrastructure capacity amidst growth.
Buyer Demand Soars: With only 524 homes listed in Covington and 314 in Mandeville as of March 2025, and a median price of $319,890 in Covington (up 1.5% year-over-year), buyers are flocking to areas like Tchefuncta Club Estates, TerraBella, and Riverwood, drawn by infrastructure upgrades and the promise of long-term value.
These factors make 2025 a prime time to sell—low inventory and high demand mean strong offers for your home.
