Old Aurora is a West Bank retreat with broad streets, generous yards, and a laid-back rhythm that still keeps you close to everything that makes New Orleans hum. Tucked within Algiers, it sits just minutes from General de Gaulle Drive and the Crescent City Connection, while a quick hop brings you to the ferry across to the French Quarter via the Canal Street–Algiers Point Ferry. Neighboring enclaves like Algiers Point and Tall Timbers-Brechtel expand your options for coffee runs, riverfront strolls, and weekend exploring, with English Turn just down the road.
Outdoorsy residents gravitate to Don J. Brechtel Park’s quiet lagoons, walking paths, and birdwatching nooks—an urban oasis managed by the city’s Parks and Parkways department at Brechtel Park. On rainy days or study nights, the light-filled Algiers Regional Library provides programming for all ages, reliable Wi‑Fi, and community meeting space. Daily life here feels easy: supermarkets, local eateries, and service shops line the main corridors, while river levee bike routes and neighborhood playgrounds add simple pleasures close to home.
Families appreciate diverse school choices. The International School of Louisiana’s Westbank campus offers French and Spanish immersion at the ISL Westbank Campus, and nearby options include well-regarded Edna Karr High School and Alice M. Harte Charter School. Whether you’re seeking a quieter base with quick cross-river access or planning a move for more space, Old Aurora delivers. When you’re ready, Agent Pronto can connect buyers and sellers with top local real estate agents to make the move seamless.
