Where should I live in Baton Rouge?

My wife is looking for a job, and has pretty much decided to not stay in Nashville (amazing place for the record). We want to move to N.O. But the odds are probably 10%. An opportunity in Baton Rouge has come along for her, and it will likely have the highest pay for the least amount of work (where we go will not affect me professionally). Since we are not staying in Nashville, I want to move back to LA. We have family in BR and NOLA, so it really is probably BR.

Anyway, where should we be looking? I'm an LSU fan, so the lakes seem cool, but there are not a lot of homes and few are within our price range (most are 7 figures!). What are some other good places. We aren't going to use the public school system so that won't matter. Thanks!
