Each unit is allocated reserved parking spaces, conveniently located near the front doors, with additional visitor parking available throughout the complex.
The condominium association actively manages the property, ensuring proper maintenance of common areas, including the recently installed roofs on all buildings. This proactive approach to upkeep helps maintain the property's value and appearance over time.
Vibrant college town atmosphere with diverse offerings
Courtney Place's location in the Highlands/Perkins neighborhood places residents at the heart of Baton Rouge's academic and cultural scene. Louisiana State University, with its sprawling 35,000-student campus, dominates the area, infusing the neighborhood with youthful energy and intellectual vibrancy.
The surrounding area caters well to student life and young professionals. For quick bites, Sonic Drive-In is just a short five-minute walk away, while Smalls Sliders offers a trendy burger option within a 15-minute stroll. Those seeking a more diverse culinary experience can venture to Albasha Express for Mediterranean fare or explore the eclectic menu at Zippy's Burritos Tacos & More, both within a short drive.
Grocery shopping is convenient with Rouses Market, a well-stocked supermarket, located about a mile away. For specialty items and organic produce, Trader Joe's is accessible within a 55-minute drive, approximately 2.5 miles from the complex.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to several green spaces. College Town Park, just a 15-minute walk from Courtney Place, offers a playground for families. For those seeking water views, Milford Wampold Memorial Park on the banks of University Lake provides opportunities for boating and fishing, all within a 25-minute walk or quick 5-minute drive.
The neighborhood's educational resources extend beyond the university. While not top-rated, local public schools like University Terrace Elementary and Glasgow Middle School are within a short drive, offering options for families with school-age children.
For fitness enthusiasts, the UREC (University Recreation) facility is about a mile away, providing state-of-the-art workout equipment and classes. This proximity to campus amenities allows residents to tap into the university's resources, even if they're not directly affiliated with LSU.
The area's character is defined by its mix of student hangouts, local businesses, and residential pockets. Highland Road and Perkins Road, both a short distance away, host an array of restaurants, bars, and shops that cater to diverse tastes and needs. This blend of academic influence and local flavor creates a unique atmosphere that appeals to a wide range of residents, from students to young professionals and families connected to the university community.
Car-centric with growing alternatives
While Courtney Place is situated in an area that primarily caters to car owners, it does offer some alternatives for those seeking different transportation options. The condominium's location provides reasonable access to public transit, though service is limited compared to more urban areas.
For those relying on public transportation, the nearest bus stop is conveniently located just a five-minute walk away. The Burbank & East Boyd - W stop serves the LSU - Cortana Mall line, providing a direct connection to the university campus and local shopping areas. Another option, the Highland & LSU Ave Shelter - E stop, is about a 15-minute walk and serves the Highland Rd. line, offering additional routes through the neighborhood.
Cycling is becoming an increasingly viable option in the area. While not extensive, the growing network of bike lanes and paths in the vicinity makes it possible for residents to navigate shorter distances on two wheels. The moderate Bike Score suggests that while not ideal for all trips, cycling can be a practical option for some local errands and commutes.
For those with cars, Courtney Place offers the convenience of reserved parking spaces near each unit, along with ample visitor parking. The proximity to major roads like Highland Road and Perkins Road facilitates easy access to other parts of Baton Rouge. Interstate 10, the main artery connecting Baton Rouge to other major cities, is also readily accessible, making longer commutes and out-of-town trips more manageable.
Air travel is facilitated by the Baton Rouge Metro Ryan Field airport, located approximately 12 miles away or about a 20-minute drive. This proximity is convenient for residents who frequently travel for work or leisure.
While the area's Walk Score indicates a car-dependent environment, some daily needs can be met on foot. The presence of nearby restaurants, parks, and basic services means that short walks are possible for some errands, though a car remains necessary for most activities.
As the neighborhood continues to develop, there's potential for improved walkability and public transit options. However, for the time being, residents of Courtney Place will find that having a car provides the most flexibility for navigating the area efficiently.
