How is Shenandoah for a young family?

Will welcome my second child at the end of summer next year.
How is Shenandoah as a neighborhood? It would align geographically well for both my wife and my job locals along with grandparents location in Central.
Any thoughts or advice?

How accustomed are you to occasional sonic booms?

Kind of a mixed bag imo. It's such a big neighborhood that it seems like there are good parts and suspect areas. We don't live too far away and honestly the surrounding area isn't what it once was.

Shenandoah is a nice, but dated subdivision. It’s bordered by a shite show to the north (O’Neal Ln). The other surround neighborhoods are good

Hood encroaching, slowly but steadily, in surrounding areas. Drive in a wide circle around the areas you may be looking at.

We moved back in 2018 and it has been great. We haven’t had any issues with crime although the things happening in Shenandoah are happening everywhere else including Livingston and ascension. As far as walking and family friendly subdivisions go, it’s pretty great. (I’ve also lived here growing up too and I think it hasn’t really gone down any in the actual subdivision). Now BR in general is another story

Trending in the wrong direction.
25 yrs ago it was great.
Now, not so much.

I think it’s an OK neighborhood with older homes with bigger yards.
The homes don’t have some of the newer features but it all depends on how big of a yard you want and if you’re willing to make some updates.

Kind of as mentioned, it’s a mixed bag.
The streets that are close to SMHS and lake at white oak are good homes. Maybe dated and need work but very good for a family.
Some of the streets near O’Neal by city Cafe and that area can be suspect. I do remember a couple of the streets near the middle school being meh too.
I don’t have kids, but I have also heard the Shenandoah middle school is decent for BR standards so that neighborhood shouldn’t be going shite at an alarming rate if that keeps up.

Its a decent neighborhood in a good part of Baton Rouge. (Aka southeast baton rouge). I feel safe in Shenandoah at night. Generally always a police officer patrolling it.
Edit: The O’neal area I see people commenting about is suspect, but that isnt until you get to South Harrells Ferry. There are some good newer neighborhoods down Oneal between Shenandoah and that random collection of slums right before South Harrells Ferry. And then north of South Harrells Ferry is all shite.

Grew up there and my parents have lived there for 30+ years. It’s gone down hill the edges are getting pretty rough but the middle part is still decent but trending in the wrong direction.

Just from reading on here, it sounds like it's on the decline
Plus, Festus and Skillet live there. Hard pass

I thought the same thing until I actually moved back. It’s not true, I assure you. It’s actually better now than it was in 2005 when I moved out

I feel like SE BR hasn't really fared that well the past 10 years or so. Maybe the extreme SE parts like Hoo Shoo Too but Oneal, Millerville, Sherwood, Coursey, S Harrell's Ferry, Jones Creek etc are all worse to me now. We live in this area so I'm not crapping on it but the long term future is murky at best to me.
I guess in BR you are within a half mile of the hood just about everywhere it seems.

I always hear people say Baton Rouge is a shithole (which isnt far from the truth), but north Baton Rouge and SE Baton Rouge (St George) are two completely different animals. I dont fear for my life going on an afternoon jog in Green Trails.

Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze

So where can one live in Baton Rouge that isn’t going downhill?
