Bocage
Where Bocage is, and what is there
Bocage is a residential neighborhood between Jefferson Highway and Corporate Boulevard in Baton Rouge, inside city limits in East Baton Rouge Parish, ZIP 70809. Parish records show the first Bocage filing recorded on May 24, 1961 (62 lots) and the second on October 1, 1965 (41 lots), with Bocage Estates following in 1979. Streets in the parish property records include Bocage Boulevard, Bocage Court, Rienzi Boulevard, Woodstock Drive, Moniteau Court, Windrush Way and McConnell Drive.
225 Magazine described Bocage as having secluded streets and large lots, with many homes on mature landscaping and some designed by A. Hays Town and other noted architects. The middle half of Bocage and Bocage Estates parcels in the parish records run from about 0.46 to 0.67 acre. Listing records on Rienzi Boulevard describe a two-story 1973 home of about 6,500 square feet with front porches and balconies, and a single-story home on a 0.57-acre lot. Several later, separately platted subdivisions share the name, including Maison Bocage Townhomes (1993) and the gated Bocage Lake (2002).

Pricing
What decides a price in Bocage
Bocage homes vary widely in plan and size on large lots, so the closest comparable sale is often a home with a similar plan and lot, not simply the one next door.
What moves the number
- Architecture and original design, including any documented architect
- Lot size and how the home sits on it
- Updates to kitchens, baths and systems in homes from the 1960s and 1970s
- Square footage, compared within a tight band
What to watch
- Bocage Lake and Maison Bocage are separate subdivisions; do not mix their sales into yours
- Homes with one-off plans have fewer true comparables, so expect a wider pricing range
- Have any original plans, architect records or renovation permits ready
- Large lots mean landscaping and drainage get looked at closely
The numbers
Baton Rouge and East Baton Rouge Parish, not a made-up street number
We do not publish a median price for Bocage. A subdivision that closes a handful of sales a year cannot produce a stable one, and one unusual sale would swing it by tens of thousands.
| Area | Median sale price | vs. last year | Days on market | Sale-to-list |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baton Rouge (city) | $269,000 | +5.5% | 30 | 97.2% |
| East Baton Rouge Parish | $275,000 | +4.2% | 32 | 97.4% |
These numbers describe the market you are selling into. Your price comes from the closed sales inside Bocage that genuinely match your house, adjusted for size, condition and lot. We pull those and walk you through them address by address.

Tax and flood
Homestead and flood zone, before you list
Two things every Bocage seller should have answered before the first showing.
Homestead exemption
Homestead covers up to $75,000 of value on your primary home. The East Baton Rouge Parish Assessor puts the typical savings at about $750–$800 a year, depending on value and millage. Owners must own and occupy by December 31 of the tax year and file in person at the Main, Coursey or Central office. Once approved it does not need renewing unless the title changes, so your buyer files their own after closing.
Full filing rules by parish: our homestead exemption guide.
Flood zone
Louisiana's property disclosure asks for your flood zone and its source, any past flooding, flood insurance, elevation certificate and past flood claims.
FEMA's Flood Map Service Center shows the official zone for any address, and it is the source the Louisiana disclosure form points sellers to. Zones can differ from one street to the next, so pull yours and any elevation certificate before listing, not during the inspection period.
What the zones mean for your buyer: flood zones and insurance guide, or check yours with the flood zone tool.
