A coveted and charming corner of the Crescent City
Once the sight of two plantations, then a World's Fair in 1884, Audubon has long been one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in New Orleans. Among the furthest upriver communities one can find before leaving Orleans Parish, Audubon is home to many important landmarks, including two prestigious universities, historical sites and, of course, a massive green space that many have called the finest park in all of New Orleans. "Audubon is a coveted section of the city," says Joshua Walther, owner of the Witry Collective and a former resident of the neighborhood. "You walk around and see students out sunbathing in the park, people playing soccer down by the river, kids out at the playgrounds, groups of moms walking the loop every morning after dropping their kids off at school."
Audubon is a heavily wooded neighborhood.
Audubon is home to world renowned universities like Loyola University.

18-holes and zoo animals in Audubon Park
The obvious centerpiece of the neighborhood is Audubon Park, one of the most expansive in the city. Designed by the man who is widely credited as the father of landscape architecture, Frederick Law Olmsted, the park's reputation as one of America's greatest escapes from the bustle of city life has only become truer over time. "I just think that with the combination of Audubon Zoo in the park, it makes it a really eye-pleasing place," Walther says. Residents head there to clear their heads in meditation gardens or on the 18-hole public golf course followed by Sunday brunch. For some, a simple walk around the park's 2-mile paved loop, passing under old growth oaks filled with the squawks of snowy egrets, is all it takes to unwind. For others, it might be heading down to what locals call "The Fly" for a riverside baseball game.
Audubon Park boasts a world class 18-hole golf course.
The Audubon Zoo is a favorite destination with families.

College bars and meetups at Clancy's
The convenience of Audubon is highlighted by two grocery store chains and the Children's Hospital New Orleans. When looking to shop locally, residents head to their third grocery option: the bright red barn-style building of Langenstein's, a family-owned grocery store chain open since 1922. "It can be pretty fun to go in there actually," Walther says. If shopping at the Whole Foods Market on Magazine Street, consider swinging into Saba for heaping platters of Mediterranean seafood. Clancy's is another classic neighborhood spot, where locals go to enjoy Creole delicacies and a huge list of wine options. If looking for nightlife, follow the droves of Tulane students to The Boot, a popular bar and grill located just off campus. Conversations with friends are meanwhile better suited for the quieter St. Joe's Bar on Magazine Street.

Earth Day celebrations and farmer's markets
If looking to grow one's roots within the community, weekly events like the Crescent City Farmer's Market are a great place to look. Other events are a frequent occurrence at Audubon Park, often with a conservationist spin, such as volunteer service days and celebrations for ecological holidays like Earth Day and Endangered Species Day.

Historic homes next door to student residencies
Most of the area is included in the Uptown New Orleans Historic District because of its architectural significance. This includes several homes on the National Register of Historic Places and plenty more from the mid-1800s. Surrounding Loyola and Tulane, options can vary dramatically. "The student life and residential life mesh really well with each other here," Walther says. "You have some million-dollar mansions right next door to fourplexes with students living in them." Homes in this area of the city tend to be multi-story and much larger than the swathes of Creole cottages and bungalows found further downriver. Some new builds and renovations have entered the market too, with the vast majority maintaining Audubon's architectural charm. A coveted neighborhood, Audubon does often demand higher prices than most of New Orleans. Although smaller single-family homes sell for around $450,000, plenty of others sell for well over $1 million.
Newly renovated homes can be found in Audubon.

Street car rides to Amtrak stations
If looking to head downtown, residents have a few options. The first is driving, which can be done on major east-west roads or using back routes to skip traffic. There are also bus routes on most major east-west roads, with the exception of St. Charles Avenue. Instead, some residents head there to hop on one of New Orleans' famous streetcar lines, which can be ridden to Union Passenger Terminal to catch an Amtrak train.
The iconic New Orleans streetcar runs through Audubon.
