Central is next. It has about another 5-10 years before it goes to crap. Starting to turn that way already.


Have you seen what property values in Central have done the last 5 years? Flooded stuff is selling for pre-flood prices, and non-flooded stuff is up a good bit. Central and Zachary, despite being located in EBRP, will thrive on the backs of their schools. Much like St.George would have.

I'm from the area and like I mentioned earlier in the thread, I only see those couple of neighborhoods down Hooper going down hill. The rest of Central will be fine because of the schools.

All areas run in 20 year cycles. South Baton Rouge has areas that are changing. Central is 10 years old. That is why I said 5-10 years. Powers to be are pushing for "more affordable" housing. Well you start getting Section 8 and areas change. 20 years ago O'Neal at South Harrell's Ferry was very nice. With St. Jean Apartments that area changed fast.
