6 months ago relocated to SW Florida for husband's job...now there is a possibility we will be again relocating to Baton Rouge for husband's job. Schools not an issue (kids are in college out of state) but we want to rent in a relatively safe area - a house - not apartment, condo, duplex. What are the better (ie, safer) areas of town, or the most desirable? Obviously having lived in Bham crime is not a stranger to us (and yes, we lived downtown near the hospital and university) but that doesn't mean we are not cautious - we don't want to live near gang/drug central. Thanks!

Suburbs or city? Where does he work? How far is he willing to drive? We need more info.

Default More info...

Guess more info would be helpful! Between Mid City South and Broadmoore/Sherwood Forest. Minimal commute but that depends on the neighborhood - he doesn't have to live within walking distance of work even though he would like to - no more than 45 minute commute tops. I work from home, so not an issue for me. Would love older home with character, but not a requirement. Wouldn't mind cool loft if those are available. Do not want cookie cutter patio homes two feet from each other (have that now and hate that aspect). Needs at least 2 bedrooms, can be from 1,000 sq ft up to 3,500 (extra space is just extra $$ to cool considering how hot it gets). I just know next to nothing about the neighborhoods and need to know where to look. Thanks!
