Garden District | Baton Rouge Real Estate
A very well meticulously written description of Baton Rouge's romantic Garden District, an older neighborhood in 70806 and 70808 where pier & beam cottage style homes have personality as opposed to say Shenandoah Estates 70817 where personality and looks was obviously not the goal.
My definition is Baton Rouge Garden District home appraisals extends from Park Blvd to the west, Government St North, Lobdell Ave East and the meandering lines below. In my opinion, there's no way to say Roseland Terrace is the Garden District and Old Goodwood is not. Same with Steele Place, Glenmore Place or Westdale, to say these are not part of the "Garden District" is not exactly accurate.
I would even argue that Southdowns and University Gardens is also part of the "Garden District".
Enjoy!
