Why Live in Central

Located approximately 15 miles from Baton Rouge, Central, LA is a suburban city known for its highly rated Central Community School System, which ranks as the fifth-best school district in Louisiana. The city, which incorporated in 2005 to manage its own schools, features a mix of newer subdivisions and older homes, with many residences being single-family homes. Newer homes are often found in planned developments, while older brick ranch-style homes from the 1970s and '80s are situated on larger plots. Central offers various recreational features, including Central Sports Park with its baseball fields, multiuse fields, and a fishing lake, as well as the Blackwater Conservation Area with trails and fishing opportunities. Community events such as the annual Cooking in Central festival and Mardi Gras celebrations foster a sense of community. Shopping and dining options are concentrated around Hooper Road and Sullivan Road, with Central Square hosting a mix of chain and local restaurants. The city is primarily residential, with many residents commuting to Baton Rouge or nearby industrial plants for work. Safety is a notable aspect, with crime rates in East Baton Rouge Parish being lower than national averages.
