Esker Meadows is a lovely estate, I have family living there. I know the house you mentioned and it is in a lovely location facing the green, probably one of the nicest in the estate. The houses are lovely, really well built and spacious and the estate is well kept with a good residents association. The estate is right beside the school so I imagine it is busy at the times mentioned in the post above, but also a bonus being so close to the school if your friend has kids. Esker Woods is equally as nice and both are in St. Marys Parish.
