Is there any smoke to the fire that they are preparing for a much larger influx of students? It seems as though the area was already saturated with apartment complexes and the traffic is already atrocious in the area during drive times. Why now add on huge complexes like those two going up on Burbank and that huge development on Parker?

Simply curious to hear from anyone in the know or from someone who can justify the profitability of a new complex in a cluttered area. TIA

i think it means there is going to be a lot of empty apartments around campus in the next 10 years.

Well LSU just had it's largest freshman class ever. So building new complexes isn't that big of a stretch...

Thanks to TOPS, parents nowadays can afford to buy their kids brand new SUVs and live in luxury apartments.

All these rich momma's boys students want to live in the newest apartments. Pretty soon the Cottages will be ghetto and the closest decent student apartments will be on Bluebonnet.

Legit question. Not just the student apartments but the "young professional" apartments as well. There is the place on Perkins and the ones on Bluebonnet.

According to the OT, living in Baton Rouge is akin to living in Baghdad so I don't understand the influx.

Why live at Gaslite and El Cid when you can empty daddy's pockets and live in a country club atmosphere?

Byproduct of giving out student loans like candy. Another federal government bubble poised to pop.

They're building them everywhere. The area around the cottages is blowing up. Student living everywhere. It's absolutely insane

I lived in the cottages my sophomore year with 4 fraternity brothers and it was such an awesome shite show. People were constantly in and out of our cottage. I would do it again in a heart beat

This is bad news for me, Lee Drive is bad enough.


By the way, how does Place Du Plantier rank among the current crowd of apartments.

They'll have trouble filling them in a decade or so, then rely on subsidized tenants after that....expanding the problems in Tigerland.
