Morgan City: A Great Atmosphere 3 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) I really enjoy living in Morgan City, Louisiana. Living in Morgan City, Louisiana gives me a place to call home that has a quaint small-town feel. This community is surrounded by water and most of the employment opportunities around here are based on the ports.

The best areas ...Read More in Morgan City, Louisiana include areas around the lake. The lake has many areas in which you can picnic and spend time with your family. Of course, there are tons of opportunities around here for a ton of different water activities including boating and fishing. The history of this town is also very rich. So if you are a history buff, then you will have a ton to learn about here.

The crime is low in Morgan City for the most part. There are lots of community events throughout the year that give residents time to get together and have a good time and just get to know each other. Overall this is just a peaceful, town to live in with a great atmosphere. Read Less
