Well my son got hired by FAA. He has been assigned to Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport in Baton Rouge. Neither of us know anything about this area. Could those who live in the area direct me on areas to have him look for a place to live? He is wanting to rent a house. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Don't know the area but I've relo ed several times. Do a search for the top rated school district and start from there. That's always a good bet.

I live close, Covington, hour east of Baton Rouge. The airport is north of downtown BR on I-110. Good friends that live there suggest looking in South BR. Safer, more shopping, food, bars. LSU is right on the edge of the city limits of BR and I'm sure most apartments in that area are gone during school. Plus on Saturday's in the fall, that area swells to several 100 thousand during home games.
And I will say this. Baton Rouge traffic sucks! I-10 runs right through the middle of it and it's always backed up. ALWAYS! Have your son learn the back roads to stay off I-10 as much as possible. The only interstate in the country that has a bridge over the Mississippi River coming from West Louisiana that goes down to one lane and a sharp right turn that's 35mph. Crazy!

South Baton Rouge area. Mall of Louisiana in this area, tons of apartments.
I hope this helps some. You or your son feel free to email at smunster@gmail.com I have several friends living in this area. Not sure where you're from but it's Africa hot this time of year in south Louisiana!
Good luck,

I'm a city guy but in the case of Baton Rouge, I'd try to find something outside of town in the country where I could get to work without using I-10.______________________________________________I love lamp..

He doesn't want to be up by the airport IMO. Rather deal with the commute. We lived in Shenandoah when we lived there and it was a nice area. Denham Springs is nice but it's out of town. Sherwood Forest is also a really nice area.
If he's looking for a good hardware store Goodwood is the place to go.Egging on two larges + 36" Blackstone griddle -
Tell him to check out my friend's family's restaurant while in Red Stick.

The barbecued drum at Parrains is wonderful. But don't give yourself a heart attack by trying the Whole Shebang lol.
Their hush puppies and green goddess salad dressing are excellent. I really miss that place since we had to move.Egging on two larges + 36" Blackstone griddle
