About this home
Fourplex Investment Opportunity near LSU, on the LSU bus route. Each of the four two-story units offers 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a functional layout ideal for tenants. Kitchens come equipped with a range, dishwasher, and refrigerator, while each unit also features a private fenced patio and parking directly in front. The property is located on a non-thru street off Brightside Dr. , offering both convenience and privacy. Well-maintained by the seller, this is a strong investment opportunity in a consistent rental area near LSU.
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.
