What Were Some Strange Baton Rouge Enclaves?

Not sure why, but the memory of the Stevendale neighborhood came to mind today. I remember feeling that something just seemed off with the place. Couldn't put a finger on it. Like an abandonded neighborhood that wasn't actually abandoned? Anyone actually know someone who lived there?
What were some strange areas you remember? I don't mean obviously fricked up places like Mall City and the like. I mean just kind of David Lynchian-off type places. The Deer Lake subidivision and the end of Hoo Shoo Too Road also come to mind.

Back in the mid-1990’s, a guy from Florida convinced a group they were vampires and they murdered the parents of one of the girls in the group. They fled to Baton Rouge and lived under the Mississippi River bridge for a while. I have wondered what that place is like but no way I’m going to go find out.

That little neighborhood behind the governor's mansion is weird asf to me. You either approach it from some ratchet hoodrat commercial train tracks area or from DOTD overflow parking lot direction.

Staring Motel. Who is staying there?

The Briarwood Southmoor trailer park.
Sketchy as frick but (according to a gal I used to bang) actually pretty safe.
I never liked going to see her there though

Melrose East.
The streets are named after famous artists and there are just blocks and blocks of largely abandoned/sparsely occupied run down apartments.
Full of crackheads and homeless and crazies. Just piles of junk and garbage in the rear, overgrown.
Tumbleweaves in the streets
And then there's the Texas Club

I hear it’s mostly lobbyists that own those now. But not sure about that.

And we'd just wander across the street parked in the abandoned strip mall totally shite faced in the 90s.

Eliza Beaumont in middle of BR.. you never know it’s there but is a cool street with some cool homes.

At that time, she was a stay at home mom and all of the kids used to go to her house all the time. She had two boys, but always had a lot of food for the friends. She also used to jog around the neighborhood with her friends. But by the time she sold her house it had drastically changed.
Stevendale
I did not grow up in BR so I have no idea.

Eastgate
Cedarcrest
Camelot

Eastgate is still sort of strange. Looks a little hood but you rarely hear of issues. I think it's mostly working class Hispanics now.

Towards the back there's a few owned by law firms/lobbyists. But on the main street the houses on the left are all private owners. One is a good friend of mine we visit often.

So Stevendalers do exist.

Out of curiosity, what did you find strange about Cedarcrest besides old people and ghetto apartments?
