CALLING ALL INVESTORS – Property is leased through June 2027, and the seller is willing to transfer the existing lease to the new owner. Perfect for students! This corner unit is conveniently located on the LSU bus route and within walking distance to campus, restaurants, and shopping. The spacious layout features a large den with vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and a kitchen with a gas stove. The refrigerator, washer, dryer, and desk all remain, making it an easy move-in for the upcoming school year. The layout offers great flexibility with three separate bedroom areas, including an upstairs loft-style space that can work as a bedroom, study, or additional living area. Water, sewer, garbage, basic cable, insurance, exterior maintenance, pest control, and grounds maintenance are all included in the monthly condo dues.
South Campus, located between LSU’s main campus and the Mississippi River levee, is a residential and academic Baton Rouge neighborhood with oak-shaded streets and a bikeable grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Highland Road near Lee Drive, where coffee counters, casual eateries, and campus-facing storefronts keep the sidewalks active. The Chimes Restaurant & Tap Room and Louie’s Cafe act as long-running local anchors for post-class plates and late-night conversation. Mid-century apartments and compact cottages mix with newer infill, giving blocks a lived-in, collegiate cadence. The LSU Lakes and the levee path shape daily routines with water views and long, flat routes for walking and cycling. Game-day traffic and weekday lectures add a steady pulse without changing the area’s laid-back feel.
