Why Live in Cottage Shop District

The Cottage Shop District in Lake Charles is known for its unique local businesses housed in colorful Craftsman bungalows. This neighborhood became a Louisiana Cultural District in 2009, promoting cultural experiences through businesses, arts, and tourism. The area faced significant challenges after hurricanes Laura and Delta in 2020, leading to the closure or relocation of many businesses. However, new shops like Not Just Christmas and t'Pot Noir Cajun Kitchen have emerged, contributing to the district's recovery. The neighborhood features a mix of commercial and mixed-use zoning, with many structures serving as both homes and businesses. The Craftsman cottages and bungalows are typically small, single-story buildings, many of which required repairs after the storms. While the local business scene is still rebuilding, chain and big-box stores like Market Basket and Walmart are conveniently nearby, and the Prien Lake Mall is just a mile away. The area is largely car-dependent, with two Paratransit bus routes serving Ryan Street. Recreational options are limited, with the nearest parks located over a mile south across I-210. Despite being prone to high water, the Cottage Shop District is not in a flood zone, reducing some risk factors compared to other areas in Lake Charles.
