      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.batonrougehomesrealtor.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;http://www.batonrougehomesrealtor.com/&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; - Baton Rouge Real Estate: Lakepark Garden Homes Median Sales Price +$11,000 In Past Year&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What's the Housing Market Direction For Lakepark Garden Homes?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Solds In Lakepark Garden Homes from 10/09/2006 to 10/09/2007 revealed:&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;The Average Sales Price: $133,657&lt;br /&gt;The Average Sold Price Per Sq. Ft.: $103.64/sf&lt;br /&gt;The Median Sold Price: $134,000&lt;br /&gt;Low Sales Price: $121,000&lt;br /&gt;High Sales Price: $145,000&lt;br /&gt;Average # of Days On Market: 18 Days On Market&lt;br /&gt;# of Sales: 11&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Solds In Lakepark Garden Homes from 10/09/2007 to 10/09/2008 reveal:&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;The Average Sales Price: $136,361&lt;br /&gt;The Average Sold Price Per Sq.
