Why Live in Margaret Place Historic District

The Margaret Place Historic District in Lake Charles is known for its charming architecture, featuring homes built between 1910 and 1945. The neighborhood showcases a mix of bungalows and grand Edwardian-style houses, many with luxury amenities like backyard pools and private boathouses. Homes typically range from under 1,000 to over 3,200 square feet, with lots maxing out at a third of an acre. The area is surrounded by numerous parks, including the Bord Du Lac Marina and Drew Park, which offers a playground, picnic tables, and a recreational center. The Imperial Calcasieu Museum, located nearby, is a local cultural highlight with events and exhibits, including the famous 300-year-old Sallier Oak tree. Dining options include 121 Artisan Bistro and Old Bastard's Bar and Grill, while shopping needs are met by the nearby Walmart Neighborhood Market and Prien Lake Mall. The neighborhood is relatively walkable within, though pedestrian infrastructure to surrounding areas is limited. Residents primarily use Interstate 210, located less than 2 miles south, for commuting. The area is safer than the national average, contributing to its appeal.
