College Town, located between LSU’s main campus and the Mississippi River levee, is a residential and campus-adjacent Baton Rouge neighborhood with oak-shaded streets and a walk-to-coffee rhythm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Highland Road near Lee Drive, where patios, bike traffic, and late-night bites set the tempo. The Chimes anchors game-day tradition, while The Varsity Theatre and Highland Coffees keep the calendar and caffeine steady. Housing leans to mid-century ranches, compact cottages, and small apartment courts tucked behind mature trees. Sidewalks and the levee path shape daily routines, with pockets of green at nearby parks and campus quads.
