Had a friend recently inherit a lot in Hillcrest subdivision, originally purchased over 40 years ago. Looks like the area never fully developed. Anyone have any info as to why or if the land is worth much anymore? TIA

Google satellite shows that it is basically a trailer park
Probably had no restrictions on what you could do with lots so thats what you get
Your friend is sitting on maybe a $20000 lot if he is lucky

Does the assessors office have a map of the parish that shows who is the owner of each piece of land? I would start there then go ride out there and talk to some of the people.

Are you talking about the golf course neighborhood or the streets to the west? Streets to the west are Hillcrest, but golf course used to also be named Hillcrest but was renamed to Abita Springs Country Club but some people still call it Hillcrest, which is why I ask. It’s in the process of being renamed also since the course was closed. Driving range was reopened and new owner is working with homeowners to rename it.

It’s an interesting area. The golf course was developed and I believe still operates as Abita Springs CC. The development was very ambitious at the time and did achieve a lot but seemed to slow and stop in the 80s. I see a lot of consistent RE movement in the area so it should be relatively viable value wise.

I know the area very well. New houses have popped up over the years, but for the most part it generations old trailer park with gravel roads. Lots of eyesores and potentially crazy people, in the middle of the country.
Golf course is closed. Just not a ton of appeal to build something new out there.

When I worked at the fire station in Abita, we went to a lot of drug-related calls in Hillccrest.

closer to an abandoned trailer park than a subdivision. flooding is over concerns that way. used to sell lot parcels for like 15-20k up in there.
