Valencia Park

Valencia Park stands as a modern residential beacon in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This newly constructed building features a diverse array of 122 rental units, comprising 62 one-bedroom, 54 two-bedroom, and six three-bedroom accommodations. Within these, 98 units are designated as LIHTC, while the remaining 24 maintain market-rate pricing.

A commitment to community inclusivity is evident, with occupancy being income restricted. Seven units are tailored for households at 20% of Area Median Household Income (AMHI), 37 for those at 50%, and 54 set for those at 60% AMHI. This ensures Valencia Park caters to a broad spectrum of the local population, creating a balanced community.

Further emphasizing its dedication to community support, Valencia Park has reserved 61 units with a veteran occupancy preference, fostering an environment of respect and gratitude for their service. Additionally, 25 units prioritize families with children, ensuring they have a safe and welcoming environment. Notably, 25 of the veteran-preferred units are accompanied by a Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contract, ensuring added financial support for those heroes who call Valencia Park home.
