South Side, located between Bayou Terrebonne and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, is a residential and waterfront Houma neighborhood with bayou-front scenery and a working-waterway feel. Low-slung ranch homes and newer builds sit along curving streets, with canals and boat sheds shaping the streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Tunnel Boulevard and Grand Caillou Road corridor, where bait shops, plate-lunch counters, and marine-service yards set a practical, on-the-water rhythm. Community pillars include Bayou Terrebonne Waterlife Museum, Southdown Museum, and the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center for exhibits and local events. Parks and bayou-side paths support an outdoors-forward routine. The landscape reads as coastal Louisiana: flat horizons, wide skies, and water never far from view.

Single-Family Residential District
These districts are composed mainly of areas containing one-family dwellings and open areas where similar residential development seems likely to occur; few two-family and multiple-family dwellings are found in these areas. The district regulations are designed to protect the residential character of the areas by prohibiting all commercial activities, to encourage a suitable neighborhood environment for family life by including among the permitted uses such facilities as schools and churches and to preserve the openness of the areas by requiring certain minimum yard and area standards to be met.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Agriculture
Community / recreation center
Housing-Single unit
