Those are probably among the newest you'll see. Short, direct drive to campus. Not the best area, but nothing to be scared of.

The out of control crime, the shitty schools, and the systemic corruption keeps major companies from relocating here.

It would make sense that it would also have a similar impact in an individual way.

I'd love to know why the three down votes for a factually accurate post.

I doubt any LSU coaches will be taking excursions out north past Florida Blvd to witness first hand what is!

I haven’t checked in a while but a few tears ago Knoxville was the #7 crime city in the country, worse than Baton Rouge.

I have a distinct feeling you do not run in the same circles as LSU’s elite coach’s do.

There children would not sniff BR’s underbelly.

My wife is from Atlanta and went to UGA. She was hesitant, but we moved the family to Baton Rouge and it’s her favorite places she’s ever lived.

You'll be better off starting a new thread because none of these people realize this is an old thread and theyre still responding to OP lol.

The crime isn't nearly as bad as what people say as long as you dont go looking for it. I haven't lived near campus in several years, so my info might be a bit outdated but Elias is probably fine. Riverhouse is probably fine but you're a block away from being in a rap video. North 3rd is probably fine but youre right near the downtown bars so it'll be rowdy at night. That has its pros and cons obviously. Arlington is fine, but mostly college students. Not familiar with the Garden District. Harwich at Brightside is in Tigerland. Its very close to the college student nightlife but it's better to uber there and back. Not much good actually lives there. W McKinley could also land you in a rap video. Definitely don't go to Addis. You want to cross the Mississippi River bridge as little as possible during your time there.

It's like living near most college campuses, there are going to be some really high class homes and neighborhoods, and the rest is mostly for college students. The difference with LSU is just north of campus is really sketchy. Not many middle-aged, middle class people live right by campus

People take coaching jobs in one horse towns, Granted, BR isn't Nashville but it could be alot worse. The coaches and their families can easily be insulated from everything that makes BR shitty.
