Brownsfield/Central has rural scenery and quick access to downtown
There’s no doubt that the name Brownsfield/Central is quite a mouthful. The area it describes is just as expansive, and, luckily, rests less than 20 miles from Louisiana’s capital city of Baton Rouge. This rural area is both city and not. Central, a large unincorporated area for well over a century, became the Bayou state’s newest city in 2005. Today’s Brownsfield/Central is considered a rural suburb of Baton Rouge. It’s situated between the Amite and Comite Rivers, and while the town is centered around Louisiana Highway 408, the area continues to stretch far beyond the city itself. This part of Brownsfield/Central is used for farming and industrial purposes as well as for residences. Many people choosing this part of the region prefer to have several acres for their homes, allowing for gardens and wooded backyards. Living in Brownsfield/Central allows residents to choose the comforts of a small town or the rural countryside just a half-hour from the shopping and restaurants of Baton Rouge.
LSU is just a short drive away, and a popular college destination for youth in the area.

From ranch-style homes to million-dollar estates
With the area being so large, there are both swathes of land ready to be developed as well as ready-to-build-on lots closer to Highway 408. Those lots can be as large or small as you like, although most homes are built to have large front or back yards. There’s no one housing style to be found here. Instead, you’ll find everything from established cottages and ranch-style residences to eclectic custom buildings to manufactured houses. Acadian cottages are popular as are estate houses. Prices range from $200,000 for a three-bedroom, two-bath ranch to nearly $3 million for a multistory estate home with four bedrooms and bathrooms.
Ranch-style homes are common throughout the Brownsfield/Central neighborhood.

Locally grown produce from Luckett Farms
One thing you’ll notice while exploring the area is the mix of farmland and industry around Brownsfield/Central. Construction companies mix with growers of Christmas trees, and smaller operations include wedding venues and specialized taxidermy services. Cattle graze over spacious pastureland, and acre upon acre is planted with crops like cotton and soybeans. But there are plenty of produce growers as well. Luckett Farms is a family-run business owned by a third-generation agriculturalist. The company takes part in community-supported agriculture where individuals can prepay for a share of the crops. Each week during the summer or fall a box of produce is prepared for the subscriber with whatever fruits and vegetables are ripe. This creates a wonderful mixture of the freshest products possible. Selections can include offerings of blueberries, corn, peas, greens, potatoes, strawberries, tomatoes or any of dozens of other crops.

Some houses are run-down, but hey, that's not my responsibility. As long as my house and yard look great, I'm perfectly fine. The housing is cheap, so it's a great place for newly married couples or singles who want a good starter home and don't have a whole lot of money.
