This amenity space offers two distinct areas designed to support both relaxation and active fitness. The outdoor pool area serves as a central courtyard feature, framed by a multi-story building with balconies on all sides. The generously sized rectangular pool features clean tile coping, built-in entry railings, and decorative water jets. The surrounding deck is finished in light-toned pavers and furnished with lounge chairs and shaded umbrella seating, creating a resort-like atmosphere open to the sky. The fitness center is a well-appointed, multi-zone space finished with patterned herringbone-style carpet flooring throughout. Soaring ceilings and an expansive wall of mirrors visually enlarge the space while ceiling fans maintain airflow. Large windows along multiple walls bring in abundant natural light and offer outdoor views. The strength training zone is comprehensively stocked with a cable multi-rack system, power rack, adjustable bench, and a full dumbbell rack ranging across multiple weights. Functional training equipment includes medicine balls, battle ropes, and stability balls. Cardio equipment includes treadmills, a Precor recumbent bike, and a WaterRower rowing machine. The layout provides ample open floor space for stretching or bodyweight exercises.

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.
