About this home

Own a piece of Highland Road. This rare 0.54-acre wooded lot sits in the heart of College Town, approximately two minutes from LSU and University Lakes — one of Baton Rouge's most sought-after, architecturally-protected corridors. Zoned HDD (Highland Design District), the site permits office and medical office/clinic development by right, offering a signature address with lasting neighborhood character that simply can't be replicated. Mature trees provide natural privacy and a head start on landscaping requirements. Build up to 7,500 sq ft — ideal for a boutique professional office, medical suite, or investment build in one of the city's tightest, most in-demand submarkets. Opportunities on Highland Road rarely come available. Buyer to verify zoning, permitting, and site requirements with City-Parish Planning.

About College

Town

College Town, located between LSU’s main campus and the Mississippi River levee, is a residential and campus-adjacent Baton Rouge neighborhood with oak-shaded streets and a walk-to-coffee rhythm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Highland Road near Lee Drive, where patios, bike traffic, and late-night bites set the tempo. The Chimes anchors game-day tradition, while The Varsity Theatre and Highland Coffees keep the calendar and caffeine steady. Housing leans to mid-century ranches, compact cottages, and small apartment courts tucked behind mature trees. Sidewalks and the levee path shape daily routines, with pockets of green at nearby parks and campus quads.
