A turnkey duplex investment in one of Baton Rouge's most sought-after rental corridors, Mid-City/Garden District. This property offers two 2-bedroom, 1-bath units under one roof, each with its own private entrance: one on the ground floor, one upstairs. Both units feature wood flooring throughout and come fully equipped with appliances, including refrigerator, range, microwave, and in-unit washer and dryer. The property sits on a generously sized lot with private parking in the rear, a genuine advantage in this walkable, established neighborhood. This is a proven investment with a track record of easy rentability and consistent tenant demand, close to shopping, dining, and downtown Baton Rouge. It's equally suited to the investor looking to add a stabilized income property to their portfolio, or to an owner-occupant who wants to live in one unit while the second unit's rent helps offset the mortgage. Whether you're expanding a rental portfolio or taking your first step into real estate investing, this property offers location, flexibility, and low-maintenance living in one package.
Mid City, located between Government Street and Florida Boulevard, is a historic and eclectic Baton Rouge neighborhood with a porch-lined streetscape and a strong arts-and-food scene. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Government Street near the Mid City Beer Garden, where patios, murals, and small storefronts set a lively, walkable rhythm. Shotgun cottages and mid-century ranch homes mix with pocket parks and community gardens. White Light Night turns the corridor into an open-air gallery with pop-ups and live sets. Local pillars include Baton Rouge Gallery, Rocca Pizzeria, and Elsie’s Plate & Pie. Tree canopies and the Capital Area Rail Trail stitch daily routines to nearby green space and studios.
