BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - The first phase of a new community development in North Baton Rouge has opened after more than 10 years of planning, with the first residents moving into Cypress at Ardendale.

Olivia Alder recently moved into one of the 170 units that mark the completion of phase one of Partner Southeast’s multi-phase development.

“I just think it’s like perfect here,” Alder said. “It’s about 15 minutes from campus, but I feel like if you have a car, like it’s not that bad. And it’s close to all the grocery stores anywhere I go.”

Alder said residents in the neighborhood are welcoming and noted the recent completion of a business center that will include a gym and pool.

Expansion plans underway

Over the next two to three years, 434 more units will be added to the development.
