Creekside Cottages
Where Creekside Cottages is, and what is there
Creekside Cottages is a DSLD Homes community inside Baton Rouge city limits, in the 70820 ZIP. Listing directions reach it from LA 42 by turning onto Ben Hur Road; the community is on the right near the end of the road. The builder described it as only a few miles from Tiger Stadium. Listing records describe the homes as two-story, three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath plans with a two-car garage, and classify them both as townhouses and as single-family residences depending on the listing. A number of homes here have been offered for lease.

Pricing
What decides a price in a community near LSU
Two kinds of buyers look here: people who will live in the home and investors who will rent it. Which one you are selling to shapes price, timing and how you show the house.
What moves the number
- Plan and square footage, matched to the same plan inside Creekside Cottages
- Lot position and view
- Condition after tenant years: paint, flooring and appliances
- A documented rent history, if you are selling to an investor
Rented or vacant
- A tenant in place limits showings and narrows the buyer pool to investors
- A vacant, cleaned home can be shown to owner-occupants and photographed properly
- Have the lease, its end date and the deposit records ready before listing
- Decide the plan before you list, not after the first offer
The numbers
Baton Rouge and East Baton Rouge Parish, not a made-up street number
We do not publish a median price for Creekside Cottages. 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 Creekside Cottages that genuinely match your house, adjusted for plan, condition and lot. We pull those and walk you through them address by address.
Source: ROAM MLS closed residential sales, July 1 – September 30, 2026, compared with the same period of 2025. Based on information from the ROAM MLS for the period 07/01/2026 through 09/30/2026. Updated monthly.
Tax and flood
Homestead and flood zone, before you list
Two things every Creekside Cottages 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. Pull the zone 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.

What is my home in Creekside Cottages worth?
It depends on the closed sales inside Creekside Cottages that match your plan, lot and condition. We do not publish a subdivision median because a handful of sales a year cannot produce a stable one. For context, ROAM MLS medians for July through September 2026 were $269,000 for the city of Baton Rouge and $275,000 for East Baton Rouge Parish. Ask for a price opinion and we will show you the actual comparable sales, usually within one business day.
ROAM MLS market data
Are Creekside Cottages townhomes or houses?
Both labels appear. Listing records describe two-story plans with a two-car garage and classify some as townhouses and some as single-family residences. Your deed and the subdivision's recorded documents settle it for your unit.
Redfin listing records
Can I sell my Creekside Cottages home with a tenant in it?
Yes, but it changes who can buy. A tenant in place usually means an investor buyer and limited showing times. Have the lease, end date and deposit records ready. This is general information, not legal advice; your lease terms control.
