Baton Rouge Relocation Information: Area 60 & 61

Area 60 & 61 are pretty close to home for me. That's probably why I like them so much. It's close to the Jefferson area, which is my absolute favorite. Well, I think I have a lot of favorites. It's just Baton Rouge. It's a great place to live. It has so many different areas to choose from, so much culture and so much life. Here are some of the areas in 60 & 61:

Mid-City Baton Rouge- Mid-City is somewhat bound by I-110 on the west, College and N. Foster on the east, Choctaw to the north and I-10 to the south. There are several neighborhoods in Mid-City like the Garden District, Ogden Park, Capital Heights, Bernard Terrace and more. Mid-City is home to the historic Baton Rouge Magnet High School. Mid-City is becoming extremely popular again due urban renewal.

Goodwood/Tara- This area is located between Airline Hwy and Jefferson. It's an older neighborhood. I would say that a good percent of this area are older homes. There really isn't any room for any more homes to go. I did read that some homes were destroyed to make room for newer ones. This area is the perfect place to live because it's right in the middle of everything. It's easy to find a store, restaurant, hospital, shopping center and more.

Bocage- This is another one of my favorite areas. The Bocage area has a mixture of luxury and casual living. A new condo community, The Reserveis located right off of Corporate Blvd. They are extremely nice and offer the finer things. My favorite about this area is Bocage Village and the new Towne Center. If you haven't been to the Towne Center, it's a must. It's an strip mall with many upscale stores. They even have Whole Foods and a Chocolate Factory. Yummy!
