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 Heron Downtown
This place is a complete JOKE. The level of unprofessionalism from the property manager Kamairea is unbelievable and absolutely unacceptable for a property that calls itself "luxury." Every interaction I had with Kamairea felt dismissive, unhelpful, and downright disrespectful. I even spoke with several of my neighbors just to make sure it wasn't only me and it turns out many residents have had similar negative experiences with her. When multiple people are saying the same thing, it's clearly not an isolated issue. I'm not sure why she's still employed here. The building might look nice on the outside, but the way residents are treated is awful. Management needs a serious overhaul. I would not recommend living here to anyone.
