Resting on the banks of the Mississippi River, Donaldsonville embodies the down-home beauty Louisiana is known for. Donaldsonville is filled with affordable rentals in a variety of styles from modern apartments to restored single-family homes with classic Southern features like large wrap-around porches. Filled with historical significance, Donaldson was the state capital before it was moved to Baton Rouge and housed many public figures from politicians to world-class chefs. Today, the small town is undergoing revitalization and is best known for being home to an amazing dining scene, the River Road African American Museum, and the Fort Butler Historic Site — all of which drive visitors from across the state. Donaldsonville is ideal for renters looking for a pastoral escape but is less than an hour away from Baton Rouge.
