Neighborhood Reviews
Creole cottages in urban neighborhood
Tulane-Gravier has a mix of single- and multi-family homes. Most listings are Creole cottages, though some are townhouses, center hall cottages and shotgun houses. The houses are tightly packed on their streets, as this is a densely populated urban neighborhood. Though there are some two-story homes, most houses are single-story, so plenty of sky can be seen. The median sales price here is $335,000. Buyers should expect to pay at least $250,000 for a single-family home and at least $500,000 for a multi-family unit.

Blue Bikes are set up on the corner, and they have yoga classes and other recreational activities.” In addition, there are several other community parks nearby. Playgrounds can be found at the Marais Playground and Lemann Park, and the historic Louis Armstrong Park, home to Congo Square and host of events like concerts and film screenings, is only blocks away.
