Broadmoor. Equal parts residential calm and city energy, this neighborhood sits in the heart of New Orleans, bracketed by the activity of Uptown and the eateries and music haunts of Freret. Tree-lined blocks showcase raised cottages and 1920s bungalows, many thoughtfully renovated, alongside newly built homes that reflect the area’s well-known post-storm revival.
Community life revolves around places that punch above their weight. The Rosa F. Keller Library & Community Center anchors the neighborhood with a sunlit reading room, meeting spaces, and a busy calendar of events for all ages, while the Broadmoor Arts & Wellness Center offers yoga, dance, and creative programming that makes it easy to plug in. Both are supported by the resident-led Broadmoor Improvement Association, long recognized for turning local ideas into visible improvements—from rain gardens to block-by-block beautification.
Families appreciate practical conveniences: school drop-offs, groceries, and coffee runs are all minutes away, and the St. Charles streetcar and major avenues simplify commuting. Students and professionals benefit from nearby campuses like Xavier University of Louisiana, and public school options include McMain College Preparatory High School on South Claiborne. Weekends bring porch conversations, pocket-park playdates, and a food scene that ranges from beloved corner po-boys to destination dining.
