11 acres of land just waiting to be developed. Located across from the newly updated Greater Baton Rouge Area Zoo, within a mile from the BREC community park and golf course and just minutes from the interstate, great restaurants and shopping.
Northwest Baton Rouge, located between the Mississippi River and Scenic Highway, is a residential and industrial Baton Rouge neighborhood with riverfront levees and rail-lined corridors. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the intersection of Scenic Highway and Choctaw Drive, where truck traffic, corner markets, and long-view river infrastructure set a working-waterfront tone. Mid-century ranch homes and modest cottages sit alongside warehouses and port-related facilities, creating a streetscape of big skies and broad rights-of-way. The Mississippi River levee path frames daily routines with open horizons and barge traffic. Community touchstones include the Baton Rouge Zoo, the Louisiana Art & Science Museum downtown, and the River Center complex for concerts and events. Green space and recreation cluster at nearby parks and along the riverfront.
