About Old

Goodwood

Old Goodwood, located between Airline Highway and Jefferson Highway, is a historic and residential Baton Rouge neighborhood with a canopy of live oaks and mid-century ranch streetscapes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Goodwood Boulevard and Jefferson Highway corridor, where local eateries, small studios, and everyday services keep the pace steady. The Goodwood Library anchors the area with a civic, bookish calm. The Goodwood Grill and the Baton Rouge Gallery add familiar, local touchstones for dining and art. Brick homes, deep setbacks, and shaded sidewalks shape a quiet, walkable feel. Nearby parks and the Goodwood Boulevard greenway lend room for a morning loop or an after-work reset.
