Apartment Recommendations in BR

[03protege]

Can anyone recommend an apartment complex in Baton Rouge? Something not in the ghetto (which I know is hard for BR). And not overly expensive.

Thanks,
Ryan

Depends on what you consider overly expensive. I live in Longridge Apartments off Sherwood not far from I-12, it is nice, I love it. My girlfriend and I have been living here since September, and we would love to stay, but she got into grad school at FSU, so we will be moving after our lease is up.

I would recommend a suburb. Baker, Zachary, Denham Springs, Gonzales.

That's something I would really like, IM trying to look online for apartments in those area's but not having much luck.

GSRI is the only place to reside on the south side.

EBR parish period would be on the bottom of my list, I would pick Livingston first and then Ascension but hey I didn't want it to look like I was biased

Help me out with GSRI? Gulf state research institute?

They just built these a few miles away from me. I dunno what the rent is like, but its a pretty nice looking complex.

He's being a wise-ass. You don't own enough ammo or firearms to live off GSRI.

Up until about few months ago, I lived in Jefferson Shadows, on Jefferson near Bluebonnet. Pretty affordable and, with the expressway only a mile away, put's the whole city a short drive away.

Nah. I think I'd rather live in Glen Oaks, first.

That's a rough hood. I'm working at the high school of the same name and saw 3 ambulances and a fire paramedic tending to a fellow on the streetside on the way there. No car wreck. Didn't see any blood but I didn't rubberneck either.

I liked the Park at Bluebonnet, if you can deal with mgmt to a minimum. Nice place for yuppies and divorcees. The pool is crawling with cougars in the summer.

Buy a house! It's cheaper in the long run, and your newspaper won't get taken as much!

I really want to, but what I can afford now coincides exactly with BR's homicide map

Seriously.

When I retired, it was either rent or buy and buying was a lot cheaper. I got a VA loan with very little down.

There are two nice looking complexes off of Millerville just south of the interstate and also one corner Stumberg and Jefferson Hwy. There are also some new apartments off the east side of O'Neal, south of Wally's World.

There used to be rental services that would find apartments for you. Check in the Yellow Pages.

Bristol Place on Siegan. Nice place.

What's your budget? I'm in a 1 bed/1 bath for ~$900 on Corporate Blvd near I-10 and CitiPlace, movie theatre, good restaurants, bookstore, etc.. I'm fairly happy with what I'm living in.

I know of a house that is about to go back to vacant just south of LSU in a good area. About $1200/ month I think. Great land lord etc. 3br 1.5 baths. Just a thought. (She has some other houses elsewhere that she cant rent right now and so she is in the deal mood if you are interested.)

I would deff choose gated apts if its going to be BR, Millennium at Towne Center on Jefferson are really nice
