9.7-Acre Assisted Living Campus with Long-Term Tenant
Start with the land: nearly 10 acres of level, developable grounds with direct frontage on Loyola Drive — an unusually large footprint for Kenner that delivers flexibility and presence. The existing three-story, wood-frame building operates today as Inspired Living at Kenner, offering assisted living and memory care services inside roughly 1,295 square feet of gross building area. Surface parking, municipal utilities (water and sewer), Entergy electric and Atmos gas support current operations and future improvements without utility upgrades required at the curb.
Walking the campus you immediately notice the operational strengths: a long-term tenant in place, clearly defined vehicular access from Loyola Drive, and ample parking to support staff and visitors. The building’s central HVAC and asphalt shingle roof reflect functional systems in serviceable condition; LoopNet and state licensing records indicate active memory-care programming and an on-site team managing day-to-day operations. Zoning is R1A (single-family residential) with conditional use allowance for assisted living — a point buyers should confirm with the City of Kenner before pursuing changes of use or expansion.
Location is a practical part of the offering. The property sits in University City with direct connectivity to regional anchors: Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (about 3 miles), Esplanade Mall (roughly 2 miles) and Ochsner Medical Center–Kenner (approximately 1.5 miles). Those proximate medical and transportation assets strengthen the facility’s market positioning for seniors and families seeking convenient access to clinicians and travel links.
From an investment perspective this asset is currently tenant-occupied and generating operational value through an existing long-term lease with Inspired Living. Public records show a modest assessed value ($11,190 in 2025) and annual property tax of $1,189; independent valuation modeled a range of $190,000–$230,000 with a midpoint of $210,000. Buyers should prioritize a thorough property inspection, lease and financial review, and zoning verification to confirm revenue, condition, and redevelopment options.
This is a specialty asset: a stabilized senior living campus in a central Jefferson Parish location, offering an owner or investor a platform for continued operation, repositioning, or expansion. Given the size of the parcel and the established operations, the property invites multiple strategic approaches — preserve the current use, expand service lines, or explore phased redevelopment subject to municipal approvals.

A factual market snapshot around 3801 Loyola Drive.
The Kenner / University City market currently presents a measured environment for investors in both residential and specialty assets. Recorded area metrics show a median residential sale price near $285,000 and an average days-on-market around 52 — indicators of a market that moves steadily but not frenetically. For assisted living specifically, public comps and transactional data are limited, so pricing and demand must be evaluated against local demographic drivers: a stable 1-mile population of roughly 15,150 and a median income near $65,379 suggest consistent demand for senior services.
This property’s tenant-occupied status and proximity to major medical and transport hubs make it more attractive than a vacant specialty asset, but limited liquidity and fewer comparable sales for memory-care facilities skew valuation risk toward buyers who perform deep due diligence. Inventory for this asset class is thin locally, which can favor motivated sellers if the property is marketed to specialized healthcare investors. Conversely, buyers seeking value-add or redevelopment should closely examine R1A conditional-use constraints, capital needs for aging infrastructure, and the tenant lease terms. In short: the broader residential market is stable, assisted-living demand fundamentals remain intact, and this property represents a compelling entry for an investor who validates occupancy economics and zoning parameters.
