About this home

Sale fell through due to buyer financing! Welcome to The Urban Compound — a fully reimagined cottage in the heart of 70802, one of Baton Rouge's most active and sought-after zip codes for investors and buyers alike. This total rehab leaves nothing untouched. Step inside to an open-concept living and dining space designed for real life — room to host, room to breathe, and a fully loaded kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, a gas cooktop, stainless steel appliances, a large island, pantry, and self-cleaning oven. Three bedrooms and two baths are thoughtfully laid out across 1,434 square feet of living space, with the primary suite offering a private en suite bath and ceiling fan. Behind the new privacy fence sits the real opportunity — a 572 square foot bonus loft space with exposed beams and its own electrical. Use it as a creative studio, income-generating rental, home office, or guest suite. The possibilities are as intentional as the design. Located minutes from LSU, Tiger Stadium, Southern University, and downtown Baton Rouge with easy I-10 access. Situated in Flood Zone X with no mandatory flood insurance required. This property is eligible for 100% financing-- meaning qualified buyers may purchase with zero down! Whether you are a first-time buyer ready to own in a growing corridor, an investor expanding your portfolio, or someone who simply recognizes what a fully renovated property in 70802 means right now — this is the connection to make. Schedule your showing today!

About

Fairfields

Fairfields, located between Government Street and Interstate 10, is a residential and university-adjacent Baton Rouge neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and leafy, sidewalk-lined blocks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along the Government Street corridor near Jefferson Highway, where coffee counters, indie eateries, and small storefronts keep the street scene active. Architectural lines lean low and horizontal, with deep front lawns and mature oaks shaping a calm streetscape. The daily rhythm ties closely to nearby campus energy and the arts-and-food strip on Government. Community pillars nearby include The Varsity Theatre, Baton Rouge Gallery – Center for Contemporary Art, and Rocca Pizzeria.
