Any decently low-crime areas in Baton Rouge north of Government/Florida, west of Airline? This is a huge piece of real estate and I'm wondering if there are any remotely nice areas, or is it all a wasteland?

FYI This is not a race thing. There were five murders in North BR on Saturday, so I'd say it's just an objective fact it's a rough area.

There are plenty of good spots between I-110 and the river.

The area between Gov. and Florida is really nice from Acadian to Lobdell.

The rest is pretty much a garbage fire unless you go far enough north to be in Central or Zachary or East enough to be practically in Denham. Some of the areas off of N. Sherwood aren't too bad as the Vietnamese and Hispanics are keeping those neighborhoods afloat.

BRPD First District parking lot is relatively safe except for stray dog shooting incidents. Other than that, not safe.
