7/10/2014Hello,
If you are considering moving to Baton Rouge for a new job just know that here in Baton Rouge, we love welcoming new faces to our community. The Baton Rouge movers have a few insider insights on life in Louisiana, and we would love to share them with you!
Louisiana weather can be quite fickle, but above all else it is a Southern state so hot days and humidity are a common theme. Smaller cities that also have employment opportunities and reasonable prices on property are in Shreveport, Lake Charles, Monroe, Alexandria, Metairie, and Kenner.
These are convenient to big city amenities but offer a more suburban quality of life. Roads, ferries, bridges, and boats are all optional ways to get transported through Louisiana, and areas like Baton Rouge have amazing public transportation set up to help you avoid additional traffic, tolls, & parking expenses.
As far as the cost of living in Louisiana, it is quite reasonable compared to many other US states. In fact, the cost of living in the state is approximately 16.5 percent lower than the national average! The average household in the state has an income of just over $35,000, which might seem low in some major cities but it can make for an affordable city for others. Gas prices are particularly low thanks to the petroleum production in Louisiana and nearby Texas.
Here you have it—some insider info on living in Louisiana, hope you find this information useful.

Living in Baton Rouge -
7/10/2014Baton Rouge, LA, (metropolitan population about 775,000) is both the capital and the second largest city in Louisiana. Baton Rouge is a well-loved Southern city with a strong French history and diverse cultural makeup, such as Cajun, Creole, Catholic and Baptist among the most prevalent. Baton Rouge is also know for our college's such as Louisiana State University (LSU) and the Baton Rouge Community college. Baton Rouge is a city that truly exudes Southern charm, yet also has cultural offerings and “things-to-do” as a true metropolitan area should. I have to say that i love this city and wouldn't trade it for any other!
