Settlement at Willow Grove (near Perkins Rowe) and Preserve at Harveston (near Bluebonnet/Nicholson) both look to have the same design/feel. It seems like these are relatively new neighborhoods, which is somewhat reflected in the prices. Marketed as high quality materials with gourmet kitchens and lots of bells and whistles.

Willow Grove - $200-$225/sqft
Harveston - $150-$175/sqft

The pictures look phenomenal for these high end communities. Any other developments with similar designs in the area, or more established neighborhoods that would be preferable?

Not really new but carriagewood estates. Still have some lots left. You can bring in your own builder. I think my house ended up being about $142/ sqft. And I ended up with about 4,000 sq ft of completely flat backyard. Not huge but enough for me. And that's not including the 18' x 20' back patio. Really nice neighborhood though. I might have the cheapest house. Lol. A neighbor has his for sale right now for 800k. Lol. Doubt it's worth that but it gives you an idea of price range.

A lot of these communities have a more traditional setup with narrower streets, smaller yards, and sometimes alley-entry garages. They also look well finished and appear to be pretty expensive.

Is there that big of a market for that in the Baton Rouge area? How are these development's doing?

Cheapest I see here is $165/ft

Wife and I are really looking to get into a 3/2 or 4/2.5 in the Mid-City/Southdowns/Goodwood area but we may end up in one of these that somewhat offers the "historic" charm.

Anything renovated in these area are nearing $200/ft. which is insane.
