Gert Town is where academic energy, legacy industries, and local flavor meet on the city’s “earhart corridor,” with the golden domes of Xavier University of Louisiana anchoring daily life and community pride. Along South Carrollton, locals swap stories over plate lunches at Ye Olde College Inn before catching live music and a frame or two at the beloved Rock ’n’ Bowl. Former factories add character to the streetscape, including the historic Blue Plate Mayonnaise plant reborn as the Blue Plate Artist Lofts, a nod to Gert Town’s creative bend. With quick access to Mid-City, Broadmoor, and Hollygrove, residents are minutes from many of the city’s favorite hangouts, while remaining close to the heart of New Orleans.
Families appreciate a range of schooling options: Xavier’s campus resources, pathways within NOLA Public Schools, and the nearby Dixon campus of the International School of Louisiana. Commuting is straightforward thanks to the New Orleans RTA, with bus routes linking Carrollton, Earhart, and uptown universities, and easy connections to job centers across the city. Weeknights might mean a neighborhood concert, a brewery pop-up, or a Xavier athletic game, while weekends bring a steady rhythm of food, music, and community events.
