The call: Start with 2780 Bayou Blvd—at $400,000 for 2,676 sq. ft., it appears to offer the strongest space-for-price in Cordova Park, provided the garage conversion passes permit, insurance and inspection checks.

Real-time local factors

• As of September 14, 2026, Redfin shows 13 Cordova Park homes, while Zillow shows 26; the difference is likely neighborhood-boundary and filter definitions.
• 2780 Bayou Blvd: $400,000 · 6 bd · 3 ba · 2,676 sq. ft. The listing says it began as a 4/2, with the garage converted into two bedrooms and another bathroom with a separate entrance—verify permits and whether insurers count that space.
• 621 Whitney Dr: $399,000 · 5 bd · 2 ba · 1,509 sq. ft., recently renovated with a flexible converted-garage area. The marketing description and bedroom count need clarification before relying on “five bedrooms.”
• Open houses: Whitney is advertised for Wednesday, September 16, 3–5 p.m.; 4415 Piedmont Rd is advertised for Saturday, September 19, 1–4 p.m.
• Visible detached-home choices currently run from roughly the upper $300s into the $900s, with a major jump for larger renovated or executive properties.
• Our current in-app inventory does not contain a detached house squarely inside Cordova Park; the nearest budget-oriented listing is this Langley Avenue condo:

This is worth considering only if proximity matters more than having a detached Cordova Park house and yard.

Runners-up

• 621 Whitney Dr — $399,000: Pick this instead if you want a renovated home and can attend Wednesday’s open house; confirm the legal bedroom count and converted-space permits.
• 671 Nagel Dr — $429,000: Better if you prefer 3 bedrooms and 2,285 sq. ft. rather than maximizing bedroom count; it has been displayed on Zillow for 86 days, so ask your agent to investigate pricing history and seller flexibility.
• 4415 Piedmont Rd — $475,000: Better if you need a more conventional 4-bedroom, 2-bath, 2,108-sq.-ft. layout and want to tour without arranging a private showing.

What flips this — Your required bedroom count: for five or six bedrooms, Bayou Boulevard leads; for three or four bedrooms, Nagel or Piedmont may offer a cleaner, lower-risk layout.

👉 What budget, minimum bedrooms and must-haves—pool, garage, school assignment or no flood zone—should I use to narrow this to the best three?
