Highland-Perkins
Highland-Perkins blends campus energy with leafy, established streets, making daily life feel both connected and laid-back. Anchored by Louisiana State University, residents enjoy quick access to lectures, arts events, and Saturday nights at Tiger Stadium, all on the main Baton Rouge corridor. Morning jogs around the LSU Lakes, coffee near the Perkins Overpass, and bike-friendly routes create an easy rhythm, while nearby Southdowns adds a familiar, front-porch feel and a beloved Mardi Gras parade.
Recreation is a strong suit. Stargazers flock to the community’s Highland Road Park Observatory, where public viewing nights and kid-friendly programs light up the calendar. Trails, skate features, and sports facilities at Perkins Road Community Park keep weekends active, and history lovers can wander the 19th‑century homesteads at the LSU Rural Life Museum. Proximity to campus enriches everyday options—from art and performances to research libraries—thanks to Louisiana State University.
Families appreciate academic pathways through East Baton Rouge Parish Schools, plus nearby magnet and private choices, including the acclaimed University Laboratory School on LSU’s campus. Dining spans cozy bistros and game‑day favorites, with local shops tucked between Highland and Perkins for quick errands and thoughtful gifts.
