I think Lake Gardens in Baton Roge is nice. So is South Broad Acres. Real nice homes, nice large lots, good prices and low crime.

Property values are going up in Green Trails. I guess I got a case of the poors cause I live in one of those houses in Green Trails.

Episcopals area is fine. I've been here for 6 years and don't have any issues with it. Great location and access to everything too.

Too many government jobs in BR that are dependent on state government. What did the people in BR think was going to happen. The RE price drop is going to get even uglier next year

No. He moved into a nice hood right at 74 and bluff road. Very good subdivision. But he's delusional to think it's any better than the same hoods off S Harrells Ferry or south Tiger Bend. They're very comparable.

In 2005 a lot of Katrina people from NO moved into the neighborhood and it really did decline. However, after the mortgage bust a lot of those people lost their houses. The neighborhood really is better now than it was 7-10 years ago. If you don't have school age kids, or if you do and they are in private school, and if you are not an OT Baller (I know I am probably the only one on the OT that isn't) it wouldn't hurt to look in Sherwood or Broadmoor.
When it comes to Baton Rouge neighborhoods this place is as bad as the poli board.
I lived near STM off Goodwood until 2011. It was a good area then and it's not bad now even though the traffic sucks sometimes. I actually know a couple of people who have bought and renovated homes in Broadmoor and Sherwood recently.
I don't have a problem with that area, but I wouldn't live north of Florida. North of Florida along Sherwood, there are a lot of apartments north of that Vietnamese community that have been pretty bad for a couple of decades. That said, Villa Del Ray is actually a pretty good working class black area now and is almost exclusively single family homes. Home prices there appear to have stabilized and people seem to maintain their properties.
Like a lot of areas, the problem north of Florida on Sherwood (and to the immediate east from there especially) is with aging multi-family rental housing that needs to be leveled or repurposed.

70808 and 70806 (South of Govt) were my two favorite parts of town to live in. Really enjoyed both.

70810 checking in!
I need to talk to my neighbors and come up with a 70810 gang sign.
Are Paul and CoachUrb ex's? Why did they have a fallout?

Woodland Ridge is still fine as is Camelot. The only concern for Camelot would be its proximity to Eastgate.

What's so funny?

We just sold a house in Shennandoah. I think because of the age of the neighborhood it's a good opportunity to buy what I'd call a good starter home or a large house for less. No problems with the neighborhood. Always felt safe and like the neighbors cared about the place.
Move the Prairieville for the schools and was pretty set on getting out of Baton Rouge after the way the city handled the St. George fiasco.

There's nothing aesthetically wrong with the neighborhood. I just think it's old/outdated and prices are going to be descending quickly in the next 5-7 years.

Probably full of laid off state workers.

Lake Sherwood is nice, it's crazy the house you can get in there for the money, but you should have moved to UC.

Not as nice as it was in the 90's
Posted on 1/9/16 at 4:01 pm to Paul Allen
Random bump... Wonder if prices are still declining
