Overview

University Acres exudes a certain charm that is hard to define. To begin with, its convoluted borders center around a circle that interrupts the flow of Sunset Boulevard towards its end and sets up a unique street plan that characterizes the neighborhood. It is a joy to joggers and a plague to the uninitiated deliveryman. The subdivision straddles Highland Road and runs from Bayou Fountain deep into Bayou Duplantier. Sunset Boulevard with its broad reaches and attractive plantings is an invitation to explore; another entry from Highland Road, Nelson Drive, is invitingly canopied with a noble stretch of live oaks, and Leeward Drive once edged the nursery owned by the Polizottos which provided much of the trees and shrubbery that bejewel the subdivision. There is no doubt that ""the Acres,"" as it is affectionately known, abounds in great trees, an abundance of flowering shrubs and homes that display great architectural variety, a special quality that adds to its tmiqueness and charm. And what other subdivisions in Baton Rouge can boast of a school, a church and a park! But what else is there that has forged a sentiment in its residents that reaches into the past?
