Build the home you've been dreaming of in the heart of Metairie. This cleared, level 65' x 75' lot in the established Gilmore Place Addition is a rare blank canvas — and it's priced to build NOW. Picture it: morning coffee on a wide front porch, a modern farmhouse or classic cottage rising on an easy-to-design rectangular footprint, and room out back for a patio, garden, or pool. It's the lifestyle Metairie buyers want most — a brand-new custom home in a friendly, established neighborhood, just minutes to Airline Hwy, Earhart Expressway, I-10, shopping, dining, parks, and major employers.
Did you know? This is an original homesite in Gilmore Place — one of Metairie's first post-war neighborhoods. Platted from a 1945 survey by noted local engineer Adloe Orr (Lot 22, Square D), it took shape as New Orleans grew west and Metairie became "the first suburb." Nearly 80 years later, you can build a brand-new custom home on this rare lot, beneath a majestic live oak, in an established neighborhood minutes from the city. History, meet your future. Buyer to verify all details.
Best of all, everything is ready so you can break ground with confidence: Flood Zone X (outside the SFHA — lower insurance costs), all utilities available at the street (Entergy electric, natural gas, public water, and city sewer), a 2025 boundary survey on file, and clear title with title insurance. Zoning is RA-1 residential (buyer to verify with JP). A 5' servitude is noted on the Greentree Ave side per survey. Single parcel — not being subdivided.
Whether you're a builder ready to set the comp on a standout new build, or a family ready to design every detail of your forever home, build-ready lots at this price in Metairie simply don't last. Come claim your spot and make it yours.
Buyer to verify zoning, setbacks/servitudes, utilities, flood zone, and permitting. Survey, flood cert, and title documentation available upon request.
