Baton Rouge Home Pricing on Par with SEC Cities

Thanks to the Baton Rouge Business Report's "Daily Report" for the following:

LSU’s football team might lead the SEC Western Division, but Baton Rouge home prices are in the middle of the Southeastern Conference. A Coldwell Banker report that ranks home prices in college towns found that a 2,200-square-foot home with four bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths costs $250,444 in Baton Rouge—just above the SEC average of $246,123 for the same house. Columbia, S.C., home of the University of South Carolina, was the least expensive SEC housing market, with a similar home costing just under $200,000. Gainesville, Fla., home of the University of Florida, was the most expensive, at $305,750. That’s nothing compared to Palo Alto, Calif., home of Stanford University and the most expensive housing market in a college town, where the standard home would cost nearly $1.7 million. Muncie, Ind., home of Ball State University, was the least expensive market, with an average home price of $150,000.
