A namesake neighborhood in the heart of New Orleans
City Park, named after the urban greenspace it borders, is a quiet suburb in central New Orleans. “It’s a family-oriented, quiet little pocket,” says Jean Michel, a realtor with Latter & Blum who has worked in the area for 35 years. Slightly newer than its bordering neighborhood Mid-City, this small area offers residents more modern homes and green space. Highly rated schools, from Pre-K through college, are readily available within and around this neighborhood, an important tidbit for residents raising children or seeking a degree.
City Park is central to the neighborhood.
In City Park, Delgado Community College is Louisiana’s oldest and largest two-year institution.

Classic, creole architecture
Showcasing a blend of modern and established homes, an eclectic mix of New Orleans architecture can be found in this small neighborhood. “It’s more modern than Mid-City,” explains Michel. “Most homes are about 70-80 years old instead of 100, and there are a lot of new developments.” Lining City Park’s narrow, treelined roads are classic single and double Creole shotguns, classic French colonials, and cozy Creole cottages. Most homes sit on narrow lots, allotting little space between properties. Raised porches with fences are standard, and many modern homes feature drive-under garages. On average, a two-bedroom fixer-upper in this neighborhood will sell for about $375,000, while a four-bedroom new construction can go for upwards of $ 1.3 million.
Creole Cottages can be found when looking to move to City Park.
Homes in City Park can be found in many different colors.
