Downtown Baton Rouge lies just east of the Mississippi River in the middle of the city and blends a rich history with a modern flare. Four unique neighborhoods come together in this locale: Historic Beauregard Town, Historic Spanish Town, the city's Central Business District, and Capitol View North. The area's intriguing vista includes buildings older than Baton Rouge itself, which nestle next to contemporary structures. Apartments in historic buildings offer residents a real taste of Louisiana history. Plenty of green space and beautiful waterfront views put the finishing touches on downtown's enchanting atmosphere.
Locals regularly gather in Arsenal Park, which sits right next to Capitol Lake between Capitol Lake Drive and Capitol Access Road. Gorgeous flower gardens and winding paths make the park a favorite walking destination for downtown residents. Popular local restaurants, shops, and museums can be found around the district as well.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Property Ratings at The Commerce Building
We lived in one of the 2 bedroom river facing, corner apartments at the Commerce building for a year. This is a historic downtown building, redesigned as a contemporary loft-style apartment building—I think a nice addition to BR. Overall, I really enjoyed the design of our apartment and the building. However, the cleanliness, maintenance and general management of the building and its amenities are unfortunately not in good shape, and the reason why we left. Downtown is a nice place to live in BR, but I’d recommend finding an apartment at one of the other buildings.
Didn’t get the security deposit back even though it was promised. Good views and nice pool.
