Whitney is a West Bank pocket of New Orleans that blends easy commuting with a comfortable residential feel. Set within Algiers, it sits minutes from the Crescent City Connection and the Mississippi River, with the Algiers Point ferry landing close enough to make car-free trips downtown a breeze via the Algiers Ferry operated by the Regional Transit Authority. Daily needs are covered along General De Gaulle Drive, and neighboring Gretna expands your options for groceries, dining, and services.
Green space is a standout. The wooded trails and birdlife at Brechtel Park reward quiet morning walks, while athletes gravitate to Behrman’s fields and courts. You’ll also find community programming, sports, and fitness close by at Federal City, a growing hub with dining and services that anchors this side of the river. For families, the Algiers Regional Library offers story times, study spaces, and citywide resources.
Schools are a strong draw. Many Whitney residents attend Alice M. Harte Charter School and Edna Karr High School, both known for academics, arts, and competitive athletics. Healthcare is convenient too, with Ochsner’s West Bank campus a short drive away. Nearby neighborhoods like Behrman, Old Aurora, and Tall Timbers-Brechtel broaden your choices for parks, playgrounds, and weekend eats.
