Welcome to the Garden District

The Garden District is a jewel nested in the heart of Baton Rouge, located two miles from the State Capital. Proudly voted a “Great American Neighborhood” by the American Planning Association, the Garden District is an ideal community for young professionals, families and empty nesters.

Voted "Great American Neighborhood" Award

The Garden District is the only neighborhood in Baton Rouge awarded Great Neighborhood status by the American Planning Association. APA Great Places represents places where people want to live and work everyday and highlights neighborhoods that are enjoyable, safe and desirable.

The Three Districts

The Garden District encompasses a large area near historic downtown Baton Rouge. With Government St. bordering to the north and City Park and Broussard St. bordering to the south, the location is more than ideal. To the west, The Garden District is bound by 18th St. while the east is bound by St. Rose Ave. and Eugene St.

Our Unique Homes

A remarkable 88 percent of Garden District houses built before 1930 are still standing. The Garden District is unique and memorable with elements that combine to produce a community that rises far above the ordinary.
