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!
Have you ever heard of "Old South Baton Rouge"? If you have ever visited Baton Rouge, you might have passed right through it and not even known it. If you drive north of LSU on Highland toward Downtown Baton Rouge, you are in Old South Baton Rouge. Old South Baton Rouge is being reborn. It's an older side of town that is now being shown a great amount of love. Several organizations have gotten together to better Old South.
The organization that has brought together many people to help Old South Baton Rouge is called "OSBR". It is a project put together to help the area between LSU and Downtown Baton Rouge. The plan was created with hopes that the ideas for Old South will be implemented and will improve the looks and quality of life of Old South.
Louisiana State Unversity plays a key role in Old South's rebirth. LSU offers a design class to studentes and puts them in groups and are each assigned a business in the area. The goal of the class is to help the students design and put together a project that will help the area.
Old South Baton Rouge can't do this without the love of it's residents. How can you help? You can help by donating financially. You can also volunteer your time. The most important thing you can do is spread the word. Get the word out about OSBR and how it's impossible for Old South to rise without their help.
Living in Downtown Baton Rouge can be fun and fabulous. Downtown Baton Rouge has been an overnight success. Whether you are looking for business or a little entertainment, Downtown can fulfill all of your wants and needs. It's a great place to go out with friends or a great place to take the family. During the day, Downtown Baton Rouge shows it's hardworking residents but when the sun goes down, the jacket and heels come off. It's beautiful, it's professional, it's entertaining- it's Downtown Baton Rouge.

Baton Rouge real estate agent here to guide you through the buying and selling process. I am committed to fulfilling your needs with the highest bit of professionalism and service.
I began college with a major in music. Having an intense love for music I was very active in church groups and also had scholarships to sing. Even though music was my passion, I knew that I would never make it to "rock star" status so I switched majors. This is one of the best moves I ever made. I jumped head first into my new major- business.
After having been so involved in music, I became exposed to another world. I found a new love in business and marketing. I ended up getting my Bachelor's of Science in Business Management with a 3.8 GPA. After getting my degree,I decided to go all the way and start my own company, "Little Modern Me". Little Modern Me consisted of an online clothing store for children. I was inspired to start the company after I had my beautiful baby boy, Cooper.
I worked out of my garage day in and day out. While I enjoyed helping people find the best outfits for their little ones, I felt as if something was missing. I formed and mainted relationships with my clients but these were all maintained through the computer. I wanted more. I wanted face to face transactions. I wanted to be able to see the delighted faces of my clients when they received their items. I brainstormed and came to the conclusion that real estate is where I needed to be.
Real Estate is my calling. This is where I was meant to be. Helping people, forming new relationships and friendships is my passion. I believe in honesty, integrity and stand behind the Code of Ethics. I believe that the quote "Find something you love to do and you will never work a day in your life" is completely true. I have found something that I love to do. As a child, I knew that I wanted to help people and you can imagine how excited I was when I found a way to do it.
I believe it is so important to have good solid relationships with my clients. I treat all of my clients as if they were a good friend and a number of them are. I'm an outgoing real estate professional who laughs a lot but knows when to get serious. I am so blessed that I now get the chance to see the smile on my client's face after they have purchased the home of their dreams.
I am a very passionate person. I have a beautiful son named Cooper. I have a fluffy, little dog who I call Shyann. As you know, I have an extreme love for music and the arts. I enjoy making people laugh, spending time with my family and house hunting. If you are looking for a real estate professional to guide you through the buying or selling process, I would more be than honored to help you.
We are here to guide you through the buying or selling process, taking the time to make sure you understand every step of the transaction. We are absolutely committed to fulfilling your needs with the highest level of professionalism, expertise and service. Our commitment to your satisfaction is the foundation from which a solid business relationship is built.
We realize that people do business with people they trust. We are interested in what is best for you, the client, and are committed to establishing a long-term relationship based on trust. We pride ourself on being knowledgeable and staying current with changes in the industry that will affect the success of your transaction. You have worked hard to be able to purchase the home of your dreams. We feel the responsibility to make those dreams a reality and pursue the right solution enthusiastically.
