About this home
Spacious condo located on a bus route to LSU, right in the heart of Tiger-town and just minutes from numerous restaurants, shopping, and local favorites. This very well maintained unit features 9-foot ceilings, crown molding, and tile flooring throughout the living areas, kitchen, and baths. Washer, dryer, refrigerator, and microwave are included. Unit includes two dedicated parking spaces.
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.
