Navarre boast proximity to downtown and the spacious City Park

Navarre combines quiet, comfortable charm with a central location and enviable access to some of New Orleans’ best amenities. It sits about 5 miles from downtown and adjacent to City Park and 1,300 acres of green space. This enclave also manages to be cozy and walkable, thanks to its trees, sidewalks, quiet streets and neighborhood restaurants. Once a part of a huge parcel of land acquired during the Spanish rule of New Orleans, Navarre was mostly swampland until it was drained and prepped for development in the early 20th century. While this cottage community is mainly residential, it’s anchored by the historic Greenwood Cemetery and the main campus of Delgado Community College.

Historic homes and post-Katrina builds mix in Navarre

The Navarre neighborhood is included in the South Lakeview Historic District, and a small section of it is considered part of the Mid-City Historic District. Construction of the neighborhood’s first subdivisions stretched from the 1920s to the late 1940s. The neighborhood is mostly defined by a mix of classic cottages, brick ranch-styles and Craftsman bungalows, with some Mediterranean Revival tile-roofed homes lining Canal Boulevard. Rebuilding efforts after Hurricane Katrina in 2005 brought in some new construction, which is a mix of contemporary, modern and traditional-style homes. The average home is right around 2,000 square feet with a yard and off-street parking. Home prices typically range anywhere from around $300,000 to $800,000.

Mature trees, attactions and events anchor City Park

One of the Navarre neighborhood’s best features is its location next door to New Orleans’ historic City Park. Playgrounds, picnic areas, scenic bayous and miles of paths are spread across the park's 1,300 acres, amid the world’s largest grove of mature live oak trees. Other highlights include an amusement park, art and children’s museums, bike and boat rentals, miniature and full-sized golf courses, and botanical and sculpture gardens. City Park also hosts concerts, festivals, and holiday events. While most Mardi Gras parades roll through Uptown, the Krewe of Endymion kicks off its illuminated night parade right on the edge of Navarre, giving residents a front row seat. New Orleans’ internationally acclaimed Jazz and Heritage Festival, also known as Jazz Fest, takes place a few miles away.
