Lafayette Square / Soulard

Two signature historic districts - Lafayette Square's Victorian mansions and Soulard's nightlife and Mardi Gras energy. Both carry meaningful historic-preservation tax-credit upside that can offset a large share of qualifying rehab costs.

Recent price data has been volatile, and the appeal rests more on long-term preservation upside than recent appreciation. Tax credits apply only to qualifying historic projects, so eligibility must be confirmed before underwriting. Soulard event-week short-term-rental income shouldn't be assumed as baseline.

Appreciation and historic-rehab investors who confirm tax-credit eligibility and aren't relying on recent comps.
