Actually still a decent neighborhood. Nice blue collar families with big yards sprinkled lightly with crack houses

It can hardly be considered "the hood". I'm sure that most of you who comment on North Baton Rouge have not actually been there in years.
I wasn't saying that it was the same neighborhood. I grew up in Central. I'm quite familiar with North Baton Rouge. Monticello is full of 2k+ sq ft houses too and it sure isn't what it once was. I wouldn't pay 200k for a house in there and I'd put it above anything off of North Foster.
There are murders happening blocks from there, and not all that infrequently. Not good for real estate prices.

It was sad to see the Christmas lights go. One of my best friends Brian lived in Monticello. Spent a lot of time there in the 80s and early 90s

Catalina. Take the main entrance from Greenwell Springs, hang a left on Catalina. About the 3rd or 4th house on the left.

Not long with people like the OP that are buying properties just to rent out.
IMO, renting out homes devalues neighborhood properties more than anything else an HOA can try to forbid.

Had an older brother who was also my friend. We are both around 40 now.

Aka the GTFO stage of a neighborhoods lifecycle.
