Between Bayou St. John and the London Avenue Canal
Fillmore is a small, quiet suburb situated between Bayou St. John and the London Avenue Canal. “I would say it is one of the best suburbs in Orleans Parish,” says David Claus, a broker with Gino Realty and a Fillmore native. “Not only is it comfortable, but it’s also a really good investment. If you look over the past 12 years or so, you’ll see that the value of the area has steadily increased,” Claus says. Located in the greater Gentilly area, which has a B-plus rating on Niche, this neighborhood features modern homes on sizeable lots, highly rated schools and ample outdoor amenities.
Bayou St. John borders Filmore to the west.
New and traditional homes can be found throughout Filmore.

City Park, Saint Bernard Rec and Pratt Playground
The famous New Orleans City Park sits on the east side of the Bayou St. John about a mile from Fillmore. Spanning 1,300 acres, City Park's highlights include two 36-hole golf courses, the New Orleans Botanical Garden, tennis courts, a hiking path and a fishing pier. Within Fillmore, residents spend time at Pratt Park Playground, which features a football post, open green space, a playground, and a free library box. Locals can also visit St. Bernard Recreation Center, which is about 1.5 miles from the neighborhood’s center and features a basketball court for open play.

Fillmore’s eclectic mix of home styles
The homes in Fillmore are an eclectic mix of traditional architectural styles. Ranches are the most common homes, followed by Colonial Revivals and minimal traditional builds, showcasing a mix of French and American influence. Fillmore’s modern homes sit on mid-sized lots, offering more yard space than the adjacent neighborhoods of Mid-City and City Park. Backyard swimming pools are common amongst modern homes, and most houses feature long driveways leading to a detached garage. A two-bedroom in need of some serious TLC can sell for as low as $150,000 while a four-bedroom waterfront property can sell for upwards of $1.4 million. Most homes, however, sell between $300,000 and 650,000.
Colonial Revival style homes can be found when looking to move to Filmore.
Filmore has an abundance of traditional homes.

Hynes Charter Schools
Along with its opulent homes, Claus says Fillmore's educational opportunities attract many people to the neighborhood. “A lot of families move there because they want to be in the Hynes area,” Claus says. Originally founded in 1952, Edward Hynes Charter Schools serve students from pre-k through 8th grade across three campuses. The school’s Lakeview campus opened its doors in 1952 and continues to serve pre-kindergarten through eighth-grade students. In 2019, Hynes Partnered with the University of New Orleans to build Hynes-UNO, a K through fifth-grade option located in Fillmore. The school’s most recent campus, Hynes Parkview, was built in 2021 in Pontchartrain Park, serving K through eighth-grade students. Niche has not yet rated the two newer locations, but Hynes Lakeview holds an A-minus rating. High school students in Fillmore attend Benjamin Franklin High School, a public charter institution with an A-plus Niche rating. Interested students can take advantage of the high school’s partnership with the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA), an immersive half-day program that allows students to graduate from both Benjamin Franklin High School and NOCCA.
Edward Hynes Charter School has over 700 students enrolled.
Benjamin Franklin High School is located near the south shore of Lake Pontchartrain.

The annual Gentilly Fest at Pontchartrain Park is also a key community event, featuring live music, local vendors, horseback riding, rock climbing and other various activities. The Arts Market is an open-air market held every two weeks in City Park. It allows residents to meet and purchase from local artists.
Route 52 and I-610
Fillmore is a driver-centric neighborhood, but paved bike lanes and sidewalks make it possible to get around in other ways. Public transit options include bus Route 52, which runs from Lake Terrace, down through Fillmore, and ends in Gert Town. Interstate 610 is also near the neighborhood, offering residents a seamless commute throughout the greater New Orleans area.

Walmart is about 3 miles east of the neighborhood, and Royal Street, New Orleans’ shopping district, is about 5 miles south. There's a limited restaurant scene in and around the neighborhood. In the neighborhood's northeast corner, Yummy Sushi is a Japanese restaurant known for its friendly staff and quiet atmosphere.
