Shenandoah has similar location issues to Sherwood. It’s far from the urban core of the city and has some seriously bad section 8 apts (St. Jean). Shenandoah does typically have better housing stock and is a lot closer to the construction companies on the south side of town, so that’s good.
If I was going to flip a home or buy a home to renovate and live in, I would likely choose Inneswold, Tara, or Kennilworth before I’d choose Shenandoah since the Shenandoah houses don’t need as much updating (this there’s less value to be created).

St Jean isn't that close to Shenandoah

Did those re-open after the flood?
The issue with I-12/Coursey/Old Hammond neighborhoods is the access to the white collar job market. The big hospitals, universities, etc are closer to the I-10/Perkins/Highland neighborhoods.
The bright side of the I-10 areas (at least Broadmoor and Shenandoah) is that they didn't have major issues with flooding in 2016, which means they are extremely unlikely to have issues with that moving forward.

and that bottlenecking is terrible for traffic all around
once at LSU there was a wreck on brightside by teh entrance of where my townhouse was and nobody could get out of the area for an hour. that's just insanity. now imagine having all of those choke points through a poorly-planned city with major infrastructure needs and that's BR
...and they keep doing it

i always liked the kennilworth area when i lived in BR. felt like a real, classic neighborhood (which is rare in BR with how they create a single entrance/exit to most f their residential areas)
I've always liked it, especially its proximity to LSU and Our Lady of the Lake.
Tara, Broadmoor, Sherwood, Hickory Ridge, etc. follow that development format. I like it, especially with the boulevard right through the middle. Those types of neighborhoods usually have beautiful tree canopies.
The houses aren't too close together like the newer neighborhoods. They are almost all ranch homes, but most are actually pretty big and spacious.

This is why the area around Essen and the split is considered appealing to some despite the dated houses (A lot of 50s houses).
Essen traffic sucks but that is right by multiple hospitals, CBI, the rest of the United Plaza office complexes, and is within a short interstate ride of downtown.

We live in Woodland Ridge and I work Essen/Bluebonnet area. It's a 15 minute drive in the morning. About 20 in the evenings. Granted I usually work 7:15 to 4:15'ish.

LC has an area called Oak park that is similar. the problem is that it went section 8 and is ate up with culcha these days
it's absolutely beautiful even with 1/2 the houses being run down now due to the tenants/owners. it's sad what's happened there
very gridlike roads with multiple avenues going N/S

This is why so many people leave the state and live in suburban-ville and act like they made it big when in fact they are just living a mediocre lifestyle out of state.
Care to compare The Woodlands, Texas to life in BR?
You might want to re-think that horse shite....
Posted on 8/27/18 at 10:50 am to CharlesLSU
How many places in the Houston area compare to The Woodlands though?
Posted on 8/27/18 at 11:03 am to c on z
Thats why so many from Louisiana are moving to Houston.
Better paying jobs, cheaper housing, amazing free public schools, no state income tax, car insurance is 1/2, cheaper housing insurance and electricity.
I live in Bridgeland which is in Cypress, TX. Just moved to Bridgleland from the Copperfield area in Houston. Bridgeland was rated 23rd out of 25 master planned communities in the country.

If you work downtown Shenandoah is almost out of the question. Downtown is growing and has been since Kip made it a priority. The result, imo, is the rise in development on Government, Old Goodwood, etc. Those are the only areas of town close to downtown that are safe. And the increased prices reflect that. If I'm working downtown and living in Shenandoah, I might as well live at The Bluffs. Same commute.

avoid BR at all costs. it's a city without a (bright) future
if you want to avoid absolutely terrible, 3rd world conditions, you have to pay a serious premium...and there aren't really advantages (it's not a particularly big city with "stuff to do". traffic is unapologetically terrible. it's a huge city where intracity travel for "stuff to do' can take over an hour)
