OP, based on the criteria listed, I’d look along Highland Road between Siegen and I-10. I’d also suggest Jefferson Highway between Airline and Essen.

I would be hesitant to live out in UClub. It’s far from everything and an absolute bitch to exit in the morning. I would also be miserable making that drive down Bluebonnet Extension every day.

Oak Hills is nice but it is way too close to Siegen and gets a lot of unwanted visitors.

Southdowns is nice but old.

Garden District/Capital Heights is right next to the ghetto and is on the receiving end of criminal activity every night.

I don’t know how people do it. That drive would make me crazy. I actually really like U Club as a neighborhood too. Just too far.

I live there and its fine. It never takes me more than 5 minutes to get out the neighborhood in the morning. The busy times are during school and there is a cop in the mornings directing traffic.

Its far enough away to feel secluded but you are still 10 minutes from anything you want to do, movies, LSU, grocery store, etc.

I've been in Oak Hills place for 12 years and we have never had an issue and neither has anyone we know. It's one of the last neighborhoods that you regularly see kids riding bikes and playing outside without a helicopter mom following them around.

To the OP, Oak Hills is huge. There are some old houses, all well built, and some newer ones in the last couple filings.

nah not really true

they do have those apartments close to the perkins rd side that seem less than desirable but haven't really heard of any spill over from it
