Why they chose this property
"Capital Heights" is one of Baton Rouge's oldest developments of mostly vintage homes with major renovations while still maintaining the neighborhood's charming early 1900's character.
Our location is on a one-way street with a dedicated pedestrian and bicycle lane and within short walking distances to many popular restaurants and local favorites.
... And you’ll be only 1 block south of the recently redesigned Government Street. Check out the new spots along the corridor at 225batonrouge dot com /food-drink/government-street-redesign-wraps-summer-check-new-spots-along-corridor
