3b3b house for maybe sub 150k


Do these exist? Maybe they can retire to Chalmette next to a refinery for that price

Tell them to live out in Central or Zachary. Quieter and cheaper.

I wouldn't do that, but I don't have a 150k 3br 3bath retirement house in a nice area in mind. That is unattainable in BR.

Probably in Central and Zachary too now that I think about it

I'm sure they don't want to spend 90% of their golden years in traffic

All kidding aside, you can probably pick up a really nice flood damaged home for that and fix it up. Just get them some swimming lessons at the y to pass the time during the renovations.

They might be better off looking for a condo

but even then they're not going to get the beds and baths they want and likely not for 150 in a nice area

Looking for a 3b3b house


For two people? Why so much room for just two? I don't believe in spending extra money for the kids just to come visit and stay over for 5 or 6 nights a year. Hotels were invented for a reason.

Which area should they look at?

Not BR

Here's the 3 properties currently for sale in BR that meet your 3b3b and 150k or less



You got a condo on brightside/Nicholson, a foreclosure, and a flooded house. Good luck

I bought a house in the Sherwood/Broadmoor area a few years ago and I am very happy with the house and the neighborhood.

for 150k, your best bet will be one of the DSLD subdivisions going up in Ascension or Livingston

Do you think maybe 170k would help? I know they don't want to go over but I may pitch in

Livingston is nice. Do your parents like meth or the smell of a landfill in the morning? Might be a good option.

Maybe they should look at a retirement home. Some of the nicer ones only smell like urine in the halls and common areas.
