About Hickey

Town

Hickey Town, located between Tiger Bend Road and Highland Road, is a suburban and residential Baton Rouge neighborhood with a low-slung streetscape and a patchwork of wooded lots. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Tiger Bend Road corridor near Highland Road, where local groceries, casual eateries, and service storefronts set a steady, everyday rhythm. Nearby, BREC’s Highland Road Park adds open fields and trail space that shapes weekend routines. Housing reads as newer subdivisions mixed with older ranch-style homes, with driveways and mature trees defining the blocks. Daily life orbits around errands, school campuses, and outdoor time rather than nightlife. The geography feels tucked behind major arterials, with short hops to larger retail and dining clusters along Perkins Road.
