Garden District. Leafy boulevards lined with Greek Revival and Italianate masterpieces set the tone in this storied corner of New Orleans. Residents stroll to Magazine Street’s indie shops and cafés, catch the rumble of the historic St. Charles streetcar, and admire the above-ground tombs of Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 from its wrought-iron gates. Preservation runs deep here, supported by the neighborhood’s own Garden District Association, which helps safeguard architectural details, tree canopies, and quality of life.
Families value the area’s access to top schools and programs. Within easy reach are Isidore Newman School and Louise S. McGehee School, while Trinity Episcopal School and other respected campuses dot nearby Uptown. Mardi Gras season brings front‑row parade views along St. Charles Avenue, and weekends are for patio dining, gallery visits, and book browsing at local institutions.
Commuting is straightforward: the streetcar glides downtown, and ride-share or bike gets you to the Warehouse District and the Superdome quickly. Housing options span grand single-family homes, ornate doubles, and tastefully restored condos, many with courtyards and soaring ceilings. When you want a change of scenery, neighboring Irish Channel, Uptown, and Central City offer breweries, music clubs, and even more dining.
