New opportunities wait in Darrow
Miles of open fields and a growing master-planned community fill the Darrow neighborhood. The Mississippi River runs along the southern side of the area, where cargo boats sail along the water and locals fish. The community center offers the only hang-out spot in the area, but popular shopping and dining destinations are just 5 to 10 miles away in Gonzales. Across the river, Donaldsonville has schools, local restaurants and a park for locals to gather and enjoy. Darrow gives residents a quiet retreat from busy life and easy access to nearby amenities, all 30 miles south of Baton Rouge. Matthew Rogillio, an experienced real estate agent with Keller Williams Realty First Choice, says, “People move to Darrow for the price points, schools and nearby shopping.”
Spanish revival-inspired homes in growing Riverton
Small clusters of older manufactured and ranch homes sit close to the river. Further inland, future homeowners can find Spanish revival-inspired homes with three bedrooms and attached garages. “There’s only one new housing development in Darrow,” says Rogillio. Homes in the Ascension Trace community have been standing since the early 2000s, but new units continue to pop up in the Riverton master-planned community. Most homes feature hipped roofs, brick siding and large yards. The price for a home in the Darrow neighborhood can range between $250,000 and $480,000. Residents get big city amenities such as access to the river, shopping destinations in Gonzales and popular schools without big crowds.

Reaching for the future at Donaldsonville High
Parents go across the river to drop their kids off at Lowery Elementary School, which gets a B-minus from Niche. Lowery Middle School shares the same campus as Lowery Elementary and gets a C-plus. Before graduating from Donaldsonville High School, kids can join different groups like the Beta and DECA clubs to learn leadership skills for any future career. Students can also hit the lanes with the Tigers bowling team. Donaldsonville High also gets a C-plus from Niche. “The public schools near Darrow are all good,” says Rogillio.

Highway driving from the river to the city
Homeowners in the Riverton community walk along the paved sidewalk to see the ponds and get in their steps. Those outside Riverton walk next to the narrow streets to say hello to their neighbors. Louisiana Highway 22 runs through the neighborhood and guides drivers right to Interstate 10 when they want to commute into Baton Rouge 30 miles away.
GreatSchools:
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.
