Shenandoah
A community with many subdivisions
While traveling through Shenandoah, locals see homes ranging from modern constructions to those dating back over 50 years. Along the streets are distinguished Cape Cods and colonial-inspired houses with wideset porches. There are also many simple ranch homes throughout the community. Shenandoah Estates subdivision contains some of the most established properties in the community. Contemporary dwellings show new traditional forms that blend different architectural styles. These properties are found inside the Carriagewood Estates, Audubon Square and Shadows Lake subdivisions. Those looking for attached housing options can score a unit inside the High Cross Townhomes development.Townhouses generally list between $125,00 and $250,000. Detached houses can enter the market as low as $200,000; however, some well-maintained estates and residences over 3,000 square feet can cost over $1 million. Sections of the parish are prone to flooding, and the local government has recently updated the East Baton Rouge Flood Risk Reduction Project to mitigate the effects of natural disasters.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
