A small collection of streets across the river from the city
Just across the Mississippi River from busier districts of New Orleans like the Warehouse District, Algiers Point escapes the hustle and bustle of the rest of the city. Vibrantly colored bungalows and Creole cottage-style homes line its gridded streets, speaking to the city’s unique mix of French, Spanish and Caribbean influence. Winning the hearts of local artists, its pop of color and beauty of architecture give the neighborhood a creative air with as much personality as visual appeal.

Custom glass from Rosetree and cocktails from Tonti’s
The neighborhood is characterized by local shops like Faubourg Fresh Market — the local grocery store — and Rosetree Blown Glass Studio and Gallery. With the award of a grant from the Louisiana Division of Arts, Mark Rosenbaum, Rosetree's owner and a glass artist himself, set up shop in Algiers Point, opening the first privately owned glassblowing studio in the state. “It’s an artsy district,” Rosenbaum says. “I wouldn’t call us Brooklyn yet, but the elements here are conducive to that.” Of those elements, Rosenbaum says restaurants like Barracuda Taco Stand and Tonti’s Cocktail Bar & Bistro stand out among the city’s competitive restaurant scene. “This is New Orleans. If your restaurant is not good, you’ll find out quickly.”
Algiers Point residents enjoy foot travel and public transport over personal automobiles.

December bonfire and other events with an unmatched view
Thanks to its view of other New Orleans districts across the mighty Mississippi, Algiers Point events are a sight to see. The riverside space off Morgan Street is a popular spot for the neighborhood’s events. “We have a bonfire by the river the first Saturday of every December,” Rosenbaum says. “A tradition that’s been going on since I’ve been here, at least thirty years or so. This is a great spot for fireworks on New Year’s Eve or the 4th of July. When they shoot B-roll of the city, it’s shot from this side of the river. It’s the best viewing area for the city.”
Colorful Creole cottages and many other styles
With many of its houses built at the turn of the 20th Century or just after, Algiers Point offers a dazzling variety of colorful homes combining styles such as Creole cottage, Edwardian and Greek Revival. Prices range from $450,000 for smaller homes to $1 million for larger homes with bed and breakfast potential. The neighborhood’s vibrant appeal has even captured the eye of filmmakers, Rosenbaum says. “There was a good amount of production here before the pandemic, and that’s starting back up now. There are a lot of houses here with different styles, so it’s easy to be a director here and find a colorful cape house or shotgun or multilevel.”

Three small parks and part of the miles-long Mississippi River Trail
For green space, the neighborhood offers three parks, all within a few blocks of one another, and a section of the Mississippi River Trail lines the neighborhood's northwest perimeter. Delcazal Playground, McDonogh Memorial Park and Confetti Park offer playgrounds, swings and bits of shade under wide-reaching trees.

Ferry funding occasionally runs dry
“The main sticking point with living here is we’re dependent on the ferry,” Rosenbaum says, referencing the nation’s oldest continually-operating ferry, Algiers Ferry. Bridge tolls once funded the ferry, Rosenbaum says, but the city has since removed the tolls and residents continuously fight for funding from the city. For drivers, the Crescent City Connection bridge makes Algiers Point a five-mile drive from New Orleans’ Warehouse District. Connecting drivers with the nation’s network of highways, Interstate 910 runs just south of Algiers Point. With sidewalks along every street and New Orleans Regional Transit Authority bus stops on larger streets, residents have the option to leave their car at home when they want to travel the city.
The Algiers Point ferry has been a part of travel to downtown New Orleans for over 100 years.

I grew up in Algiers. I liked the close community but disliked the declination of the property value.

I picked this neighborhood kind of randomly after moving all the way from IL. Man, was that a good choice. It is super safe, quiet and beautiful. There are super charming houses lining the streets, cute small little shops near the river, and friendly people around every corner. During COVID, the people of the Point have even put on a little concert every Wednesday night in front of someone's house, and everyone sits across the street and listens at a safe distance. There's community events for adults and kids. There is a feeling of being isolated from the rest of the city, especially when the ferry isn't running. There are a few bars and restaurants near the ferry terminal but if you're not in the mood for those, driving out of the Point is necessary. I don't have kids, so I am not sure about the schools, but I've heard good things. If you're new to the area and worried about where to stay safe in NOLA, this is a great place to start.
