Those of us who live in Baton Rouge may not be aware of all that’s happening in our neighboring parishes. You’ve likely heard about the schools in Ascension Parish and maybe some friends or acquaintances have moved there over the years. Here’s some data from the Greater Baton Rouge Association of Realtors to help put it in perspective.
Talk about growth … the residential areas near Prairieville are rockin’ it! It’s about the schools, the cost of homes, the availability of new construction, financing options for homes in rural areas, and that little bit of “country” that makes Louisiana like no place else.
This month I’ve expanded HeleneKurtz.com to include Homes Near Prairieville. You can search by price, by subdivision, look for homes that were just listed, and also search for new construction. And, there’s a lot of it. With the exception of the Nicholson/Burbank corridors there aren’t too many options for new construction near LSU and Towne Center. We just don’t have much land and the lots that are available are often very expensive. You can see why so many find what’s happening in Prairieville so attractive. If you’d like to go take a look at homes in Prairieville, give me a call at (225) 772-8709 and check out the homes on HeleneKurtz.com/Homes Near Prairieville.

Lancaster Construction just announced that they are about to break ground on some new townhomes located near LSU. When on Burbank, go to the entrance to Pelican Lakes. These homes are located between the existing townhomes and the single family homes being built by DR Horton.
The new homes at Stonelake Village are townhomes, not condos, so you own the land and will be able to get traditional conventional financing. That’s important because it means that you can buy one of these homes with as little as 3% or 5% down and use any lender you choose. Two and 3 bedroom floorplans are available, and amenities include granite counter tops, stainless appliances, all laminate flooring (no carpet), custom cabinets and 9 ft. ceilings. These homes will be ready in the Spring, in time for the August 2018 academic semester. Give me a call for more details. To see what’s available go to Stonelake Village on HeleneKurtz.com

Three and 4 bedroom homes will be built ranging in size from 1,538 sq. ft – 2,397 sq. ft. of living space.
