Moving to Merrydale

So what kind of housing can you expect in Merrydale? You'll find house rentals, condos for rent, all bills paid apartments, and hi rise apartments -- but don't submit your rental application just yet. A rental application can require lots of financial documents, which prove you are ready and capable of paying rent at your new place. Make sure you have things like bank statements, tax returns, pay stubs, and proof of income. You'll also want to include a letter from former landlords attesting to how great a renter you are. With all of these documents, you'll be able to apply for and secure an apartment in no time.

Merrydale Neighborhoods

Merrydale has distinct neighborhoods within it despite its small size. If you want to make sure you're ending up in a neighborhood that looks and feels good to you, then check out the list below. It can help save you time and energy on your housing hunt. After all, who wants to waste time looking for homes in a place that they wouldn't actually be happy living!

Southern Merrydale: This area is the part closest to Baton Rouge. It's mostly residential, and it has the pretty Hurricane Creek running through it. Want to spend time in a park? This part of town is also home to BREC Lanier Drive Park. Just south of here, though, is a really commercial area, so this is the place to live if you like to be near convenient stores and businesses.

Northern Merrydale: The northern part of town is actually Merrydale's center. It has tons of residential streets, as well as parks and other community amenities. Want to live further away from the highways and in the heart of the suburbs? This is the place for you to be.

Living in Merrydale

Life in Merrydale feels very much like life in the suburbs. It has residential streets, chain stores and restaurants, and lots of nice little parks. If you like spending time outside, enjoy Rio Drive Park or Dover Street Park. Or you can head due west and stare at the rolling waves of the Mighty Mississippi. If you like shopping, you can do that in town, too; just south of town is Greenwell Springs Rd, which has every type of store -- local and international -- that you could want.

If you're looking for more big city excitement, just head a few minutes south into Baton Rouge. Explore area history at the old Louisiana State Capitol, or check out the wildlife at the Baton Rouge Zoo. If you're more into thrills than learning, Baton Rouge is home to a great old theme park called the Blue Bayou and Dixie Landin'. You can ride roller coasters here! To get to Baton Rouge, you just have to drive south. The drive is literally less than 10 minutes, and less than one minute if you live in the southern part of town.
