You're late to the party. It was the "hot spot" 2-4 years ago. Still popular but definitely not what it used to be

"Luxury student housing" should not exist. What happened to the days where college kids lived in shitty dorms and them upgraded to shitty off-campus housing? People on here talk about the pussification of America. This is part of it. Kick the kid out at 18. Give them just enough money not to starve to death, and make him or her live in a shite hole for 4 years to appreciate the finer things in life.
While I want so badly to agree with you, I see a flaw. The problem with the shitty off campus housing is that all of these small garden homes and apartment complexes are cheap so that college students can afford it, but then you get people who aren't college students moving in to them and never moving out because that is all they can afford.
Does anybody else find it strange that the people who live so close to LSU on the north gates have never attended LSU?

Also.. on the other side of that.. the decent places near campus are WAYYYYYYY more expensive than decent places on Jefferson, Bluebonnet, etc.

Been saying since 2000 that the ghetto was cheap land waiting to be snatched up. Glad to see I'm right.
My friends and I always said that when we were at LSU. That area is a developer's gold mine waiting to happen. I couldn't be happier to see this type of development.
As the north area of campus begins to become more developed with student housing, we will finally begin to see the "college town" atmosphere that LSU severely lacks.

I agree, the area between downtown and LSU has endless potential. If I was 20 years older, I'd definitely play around with it

The slumlording in Tigerland, State St,etc..is partly to blame by BR having lil new apt building in the 1980s/1990s after the AC Lewis boom in the 1950s/1960s,etc..creating the vacancies to be filled when newer/better became more widely available. Not that it alibis the apt owners lazy efforts to not maintain their properties, nor make any efforts to improve/update them.
The market was long overdue for more newer and nicer. Parents got smart to buying garden homes and/or condos, rather than renting for four, five, or six years. Especially when they see how ratty old LSU apts cost a healthy fraction vs owning something.
At least there is a gentrification move afoot around the gates of LSU's ends..even if Tigerland goes further slumlorded ghetto/barrio.
And the Nicholson corridor between LSU and Downtown is being silently bought up by BR's Illuminati.

The cottages is more like $700.

are the 333 lofts going to be across from the new ones they just put up? By that little bridge?

Love all the development there. My folks have a condo on Highland...hope it keeps getting nicer for when my kid goes to LSU
So nice to see the area developing. It was like LSU under Curly Hallman when I was there. So crappy, but the potential was there.

My parents bought a house in beau pre for me and the plan was to resell it but then the market went down and are currently renting it out. That thing is a gold mine. If you have the means to buy it is better than renting especially if more than one kid is going to go to LSU.

I know a gal and her hubby that own like 5+ Beau Pre garden homes.
Frat and Sorority party homes have made them a fortune..paid the mortgages and even a small monthly slush towards the AC changes and property upkeeps.
She cut her teeth on that neighborhood, and is now a bigtime BR REA.

Multi family? What does that mean? Is it going to be college kids or are they gonna try to put low income families in there with them?
