About Capital

Heights

Capital Heights, located between Mid City and Old Goodwood, is a historic and residential Baton Rouge neighborhood with tree-lined streets and early-20th-century bungalows. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Government Street corridor near the Goodwood Boulevard intersection, where patios, coffee counters, and small storefronts set a steady, walkable rhythm. Architectural details lean Craftsman and cottage, with deep porches and mature oaks shaping the streetscape. City Park and the Capital Area Rail Trail add green space and a linear route for walking and biking. Local staples such as Rocca Pizzeria, Brew Ha-Ha, and the Manship Theatre help define the area’s everyday culture.
