re: How is Shenandoah for a young family?

Its a decent neighborhood in a good part of Baton Rouge. (Aka southeast baton rouge). I feel safe in Shenandoah at night. Generally always a police officer patrolling it.

Edit: The O’neal area I see people commenting about is suspect, but that isnt until you get to South Harrells Ferry. There are some good newer neighborhoods down Oneal between Shenandoah and that random collection of slums right before South Harrells Ferry. And then north of South Harrells Ferry is all shite.
