About South
Burbank
South Burbank, located between Burbank Drive and Bluebonnet Boulevard, is a residential and commercial Baton Rouge neighborhood with mid-century ranch streetscapes and a steady retail corridor. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Burbank Drive and Bluebonnet Boulevard junction, where coffee counters, local eateries, and service storefronts keep the sidewalks active. Perkins Rowe serves as a nearby pillar for dining and events, while the Manship Theatre at Shaw Center for the Arts adds a cultural counterpoint. Housing trends toward low-slung brick homes and newer infill near apartment communities, with mature trees softening wide streets. Daily rhythms orbit LSU-area commutes, errands along Bluebonnet, and green breaks at BREC parks.
