A longstanding neighborhood on Monroe's east side
Jutting into a bend of Bayou Desiard, Ingleside is a small neighborhood with easy access to key destinations in Monroe, namely the University of Louisiana Monroe and Monroe Regional Airport. “It’s a much older area. Ingleside is basically on the other side of campus,” says Mark Sisk, owner and Realtor at RE/MAX Premier Realty. “It’s got a little less traffic, but it’s still in super close proximity to the college.” Investors interested in low-cost properties and high-yield rental income have taken a growing interest in the neighborhood.

Most of the modest one-story homes in the neighborhood were built in the 1940s and ’50s. Investors have been drawn to the area, attracted by low list prices and proximity to the university. A fixer-upper with one or two bedrooms can range from $30,000 to $70,000, while a modest three-bedroom can range from $70,000 to $200,000. Waterfront properties close to the bayou come with a higher price tag, especially those with piers or docks. A four-bedroom waterfront home can range from $200,000 to more than $400,000.

Water skiing on Bayou Desiard
Although there are no city parks in the neighborhood, gator-aware residents can fish along the shores of Bayou Desiard. The placid bayou stretches 28 miles, making it a splash among watersport enthusiasts, including the university’s 29-time championship water ski team. Canoers and kayakers can see wildlife like turtles, egrets and tall cypress trees wrapped in Spanish moss. Chennault Park, about 5 miles away, has a public, 18-hole golf course as well as a playground, a disc golf course, and paved walking and jogging trails. Locals cheer for the ULM Warhawks and tailgate at The Grove during home football games. “When they’ve got home baseball games, that’s a real good time for locals to go out,” Sisk says. “They’ve got a little playground right near the baseball field, so it’s good fun for the whole family.”
