What life is like in Broadmoor

Broadmoor is a small, mostly residential neighborhood in Uptown, New Orleans, with a strong sense of community. It was severely affected by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, but was able to rebuild with the help of resident-led grassroots efforts. Today, the neighborhood has largely recovered, featuring a brand-new charter school, library and community center, as well as updated housing and newer residential construction. Broadmoor’s central location, with easy access to major thoroughfares, puts the city’s best-known dining districts and attractions within reach.

Housing spans historic homes and new construction

You’ll find classic New Orleans architecture in Broadmoor. “It's sort of a microcosm of the city in the middle of the city," says Kelli Wright, a Realtor with Latter & Blum who lives in Broadmoor. Creole cottages, shotguns, camelbacks and Craftsman bungalows line the streets, many featuring historic details like pine floors and custom millwork. Like much of the city, the neighborhood was affected by Hurricane Katrina, and this is visible in its housing. Some homes still need work, while others have been restored and renovated. Infill construction replaces lots left vacant after the storm. The median sale price is around $390,000, with prices ranging from the upper $100,000s to the lower $700,000s, depending on size, age and condition.

Broadmoor Playspot is fenced in, with a playground and a nearby community garden, while the Broadmoor Wellness Trail, which runs through the neighborhood's center, offers a shaded place to walk.

What to know about flooding in Broadmoor

Broadmoor sits in one of New Orleans’ lowest-lying areas and was hit hard by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. "Our neighborhood got rebuilt, and we met hundreds and hundreds of our neighbors,” Wright says. “That's part of what makes Broadmoor really great—the sense that we all rebuilt it together.” Here’s what homebuyers should know about flood risk today:

  • Broadmoor sits in one of the city’s lowest areas, so parts of the neighborhood can collect water during heavy rain.
  • The area has seen major drainage upgrades, and it now sits behind the region's rebuilt Hurricane & Storm Damage Risk Reduction System, which is designed for a 100-year level of protection.
  • Risk varies block to block, so it’s worth reviewing flood zones before purchasing.
