54 University Avenue is a historically significant house located in Bahan Township, Yangon, Myanmar, serving as the residence of Aung San Suu Kyi, a prominent political figure and former State Counsellor. The colonial-era villa, situated near Inya Lake, has been a focal point for political activity, especially during the 1988 uprisings and Aung San Suu Kyi's long period of house arrest. The property has been embroiled in legal disputes regarding ownership, with its value estimated at around $90 million. In 2022, it was designated a cultural heritage site, preventing its sale or destruction. The house has also been depicted in the film 'The Lady,' showcasing its importance in Myanmar's political history.
