City Park
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.1,300 acres of recreation at City Park
Known as Parkview by locals, this neighborhood gives residents easy access to the New Orleans City Park and all its amenities. The 170-year-old park is 1,300 acres, making it the largest recreational area in the entire region. Featuring a dog park, hiking trails, a baseball field, an outdoor track, tennis courts, a fishing pier, the New Orleans Botanical Garden, multiple museums, and much more, this park is a one-stop-shop packed with activities for everyone.Hynes Charter and Benjamin Franklin High School
Kids in City Park usually attend Hynes Charter School, a Pre-K through 8th grade institution that boasts an A-minus Niche rating. The school, which is in Lakeview, was ranked as the 3rd best charter elementary school in New Orleans on Niche. Extracurricular activities include A’s and Aces, a tennis and tutoring program, and the Whitney Bank at School Program, which teaches students financial literacy and the steps to take to save their money. After completing middle school, students attended Benjamin Franklin High School, which has an A rating on Niche and was ranked as the best public school in Louisiana. On the edge of Navarre and City Park is Delgado Community College, Louisiana’s oldest and largest community college.Carrolton Ave and Narcissist Pizza
Shopping and dining are made simple with City Park’s central location. Residents head to North Carrollton and Conti to stuff their grocery carts at Winn-Dixie or Rouses Market. Although popular chains like Five Guys and Panera Bread are nearby, locals have a broad selection of small eateries to choose from. G’s Pizza on Bienville is a local gem, with their renowned Narcissist Pizza being a best seller. Second Line Brewing is a popular weekend stop, which is a child and pet-friendly beer garden serving up frosty, cold crafts. Also taking the neighborhood by storm is MOPHO, an Asian Fusion Restaurant on City Park Ave that serves up Vietnamese Classics with a Creole influence. Just 4 miles south of the neighborhood is Royal Street, New Orleans’ famous shopping district featuring ample small businesses.
Events in downtown NOLA
Residents of City Park can experience the nightlife of downtown New Orleans without dealing with the noise. Just 4 miles from the French Quarter and 5 miles from the Central Business District, residents can easily attend Mardi Gras, the French Quarter Fest, the Bayou Classic and more. The weekly open mic night at Neutral Ground Coffee Shop always brings residents closer together, and the open-air market, Arts Market, is set up twice a month, allowing local artists a platform to showcase and sell their work.Canal Streetcar, bike lanes and I-610
The Canal streetcar line is a short walk from City Park, allowing residents to commute to the Central Business District with ease. The neighborhood's paved sidewalks and compact layout make walking and biking possible, but drivers can easily jump on City Park Ave or Interstate 610 to get around.
