Downtown, Spanish Town, & Beauregard Town

Humming with energy and a thriving community, downtown offers a bustling blend of events, shops, and living spaces — all just a stone's throw from older, charming residential areas just north and south of the central business district.

Business vibes with beautiful views.

As a hub for commerce, government, and nightlife, downtown is a medley of modern living and working spaces intersecting two residential havens: Spanish Town to the north and Beauregard Town to the south.

    Hub for the region's largest festivals, events, and parades

    Gorgeous Mississippi River views along the levee
  • 03
    Quick access to cafes, boutiques and museums

We’re a small, big city where families and businesses can thrive...

Baton Rouge stands distinct offering a rich, dynamic way of life...

The city exudes a sense of community. Living in Baton Rouge...

If New Orleans is a melting pot, Baton Rouge is a gumbo.

Baton Rouge is a perfect combination of business, politics...

...and experience growth, but also strongly connect with the community as a whole. It’s common to make some great business deals during the week, then get invited to that client’s family BBQ or crawfish boil that very weekend. That’s the close-knit culture that I love about Baton Rouge.
