Santa Maria
Santa Maria was developed by Charlie Cole, one of the founders of the Country Club of Louisiana. It was one of the first big projects to follow the Country Club. The master planned community has a clubhouse designed by A. Hays Town and features amenities not found in most subdivisions, including a chapel. In the past 12 months, the average sale price for a home in Santa Maria was nearly $527,000, more than 2.5 times the East Baton Rouge Parish average.
