Considerations when choosing a Baton Rouge moving company

Moving to Baton Rouge doesn't have to be a stressful experience. Before starting your search, make sure you've gone through the following:

  1. Must-haves, and what you'll be willing to compromise on. You may need to give up certain amenities to live in your favorite neighborhood, or otherwise look for a smaller layout or a different apartment type.

  2. Your search horizon. The ideal time to start searching is between 1-2 months before your planned move-in date. However, don't be stressed if you only have a couple weeks to go; a surpising amount of rental inventory is usually available for immediate move-in.

  3. Your favorite neighborhoods. We've put together a curated list below of some of the more popular areas to get you started on where to live - whether you're moving by yourself or with a family, looking for a residential area or one in the middle of the action.

  4. Documents you'll need when applying for an apartment. These will vary depending on the landlord, but most require verification of employment and income, your credit report, and references from previous landlords.

  5. Whether you'd like to live alone or with roommates. Roommates can mean considerable cost savings upwards of 50%-60% depending on the amount of people

Tips for moving to or within Baton Rouge

Facts about Baton Rouge

Protected from seasonal flooding by the Istrouma Bluff, Louisiana's capital and second largest city thrives atop the Mississippi Delta. Baton Rouge, French for "Red Stick," was named in 1699 by the French explorer, Pierre Le Moyne. The origins of the name deriving from a painted marker denote the city’s rich maritime history. The Baton Rouge is said to have been a 30-foot pole painted in the city’s colors and decorative fish bones. Boasting a culturally diverse population, which is on the rise, Baton Rouge is home to several emerging and established economic markets.

Combined with a wealth of artistic hot spots, such as the LSU Museum of Art and the Baton Rouge gallery, the city has earned coveted positions in both Portfolio magazine's "Top Ten Places for Young Adults" and Brooking's Top 20 cities in North America. Having been settled by various European nations and African peoples, the city’s heartland is home to a mix of Southern Louisianan cultures. Each February, this is seen when the city hosts an array of Mardi Gras parades. The annual event includes everything from beautifully decorated floats and costumed dancers to marching bands. Baton Rouge's flamboyant culture displays itself prominently in the city's dining scene. Whether it be Mexican or Creole, the flavors of the South reflect the best of The Red Stick's cultural heritage.
