An established Baton Rouge neighborhood close to downtown
Key to the appeal of the expansive Airline/Jefferson neighborhood is its central location. Just eight miles from Downtown Baton Rouge, the area provides residents with easy access to the city, great recreation options and fantastic dining choices. The city is also centrally located within Louisiana; it's as convenient to New Orleans as it is to Lafayette or Natchitoches. “It’s in the center of Baton Rouge,” says Heather Kirkpatrick, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Premier Partners. “There’s new construction surrounded by houses from 30 to 50 years ago. So, it’s a more established area.” It's also part of East Baton Rouge Parish, the most populous parish in the state.
Home styles include condos, cottages and Acadian houses
Homes are a mix of ages and styles. Condos, apartments and townhouses sit beside single-family homes with beautiful lawns with varying lot sizes.

Condo prices range from $75,000 for a one-bedroom to $153,000 for a newer, two-bedroom unit. Ranch-style homes are selling from a low of $169,000 up to about $300,000. Two-story houses, new builds and large custom homes, many in the southeast corner of the neighborhood, range from $285,000 up to nearly $800,000.

Police and fire stations come in time. Always on the look out. As of public services, it could be better around the low income areas(new schools, public parks, etc.)
