Eight blocks of Uptown New Orleans
The quirks of this commercial corridor can be seen in its French-style architecture, tasted in the soul food of the local vendors and heard in the live “swamp pop” of the neighborhood festivals held along Freret Street. Within the eight blocks of the neighborhood, residents are met with an abundance of leisure activities and often spend their time outdoors without straying too far from home. From the oak-tree lined paths of Audubon Park to the Louisiana-style restaurants and live music venues like Gasa Gasa, homeowners are met with a seemingly endless amount of greenery, restaurants and nightlife options. “New Orleans is eclectic and has something for everyone,” says mortgage lender and lifelong area resident, Stephanie Weeks with Weeks Team, “Whether you want to live somewhere quiet with huge, beautiful oaks or somewhere that you can party all night, this city has it all.”
Freret features several distinct streetcar lines.
Dat Dog is another quirky restaurant that calls Freret home.

Raised cottages and shotgun-style homes
Freret offers a range of housing options from raised single-family cottages featuring wide front porches, to two-storied townhouses with Creole influences and even minimalist shotgun style houses. With a median sales price of $543,000 price points here can range from the low $200,000s to upwards of $700,000 depending on the age, size and location of the property. For example, a three-bedroom double shotgun fixer-upper costs around $229,000, while a newly constructed four-bedroom raised cottage—situated just two blocks from Freret Street—can go for upwards of $725,000, due to its prime location. Homes near Freret Street’s restaurant and shopping hub are subject to increased price points. “New Orleans features a mix of historic French-style homes, culturally significant Creole architecture and neighbors with southern charm,” says Weeks. Creole influences can be seen in almost every housing style, with elements like French doors, pitched roofs and bricks held together by a confection of mud and Spanish moss. Homes in the neighborhood often feature roofed front porches and are fronted by small yards with enough room for a flower bed accented by a few shrubs and seasonal foliage.
The Freret neighborhood boasts a mix of different home styles.
The Freret neighborhood also features some two-story builds with cozy front porches.
