Ideal for low income housing, investment, rental property, or small commercial. Located in a Opportunity zone near downtown, I-110. Zoned A-4. Lot B is a Tax Deed lot.
Downtown East, located between the Mississippi River levee and Interstate 10, is a civic and cultural Baton Rouge neighborhood with riverfront promenades and a skyline of mid-rise offices. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around North Boulevard at River Road, where museums, river-view plazas, and event crowds gather beside coffee counters and gallery-style storefronts. The Shaw Center for the Arts, the Louisiana Art & Science Museum, and Manship Theatre form a cultural spine for evenings and weekends. Government buildings and converted warehouses give the streets a formal, gridlike feel. Pocket parks and the Riverfront Plaza add open-air breathing room along the water. Walkable blocks link theaters, galleries, and restaurants to the river path.
