It seemed like it was only yesterday that I was going to LSU and living the college life. Ahh, good times. I would come out and say that the LSU area is "Party Central" but you definitely have to be the type that doesn't seem to mind noise or cammotion. While there are probably a handful of older adults that live in the LSU area, I would say that most of the population are students.

The LSU area has really grown in the past five or so years. While Nicholson (the main road heading to LSU) is packed with students and apartment dwellers, there are still several nice neighorhoods. New sites seem to be popping up all the time. There are several nice condo areas and also many townhomes to live in.

Here are a few of the neighborhoods that the LSU area offer:

Arlington
College Town
State Street
University Gardens
University Hills
Field House in BR
Crescent at University Lake
Blox at Brightside
College Hills

The LSU area is so beautiful. What stands out in my mind the most is the University lakes & City Park Lake. They really make LSU worth calling home. The LSU area will definitely give you that 'home' feeling. You'll see people walking their dogs and others taking a brisk stroll, not to mention you will be right next door to the Tiger Stadium. What more could you ask for? Season tickets!
