Most Convenient Location in BR to Live In

Recently returned to BR from work out of state for a few years, currently renting very near LSU south gate but not fond of general access to the city from there. My office is near Coursey at Sherwood but only have to go in two or three times a week. For general access to the entire city of Baton Rouge what would one consider to be the most centrally located area that gives best access to most areas of town?

You might as well ask how to divide by zero...

Garden District, Capital Heights, Hundred Oaks area.

Central. I live in Central and work downtown and have no traffic issues at all on I-110.

The question wasn't what's convenient to downtown.

Denham Springs. Quality of life is much superior to BR.

I know it's a bit vague, to be more specific I'm looking for the area with the most options to go the most directions. I have coworkers that live in Central that I visit, I like to go downtown, I have occasion to go out on Florida Blvd, towards Prairieville, LSU, etc.. just looking for a central location with plenty of road options in all directions. I've also wondered why Port Allen has not become a Mandeville for Baton Rouge. Is it the poor flow of the bridge?

The area I mentioned is no more than 15 minutes from anywhere. You have the Interstate, Perkins Road and Florida Blvd. as arteries.

Jefferson Terrace is ground zero then. Between I-10 and I-12 so can get to both in minutes. Also have quick access to Airline and Bluebonnet. Can get anywhere you want to go quickly. Would also say Westminster and all other smaller subdivisions in area.

Lived there 15 years. I guess I'm lying.
Jefferson Terrace is another good suggestion. I just don't like it as much.

Partly that, partly there are some big landowners that aren't interested in selling out, partly lack of infrastructure and lack of interest in investing in it. You're starting to see a few subdivisions spring up on the west side. If I lived in WBR, I'd be a huge NIMBY.
Since you mentioned Mandeville, a generation or so ago, the Northshore was extremely rural, and a lot of people preferred it that way. Not everyone thinks growth and development is a good thing.
