Uptown offers classic NOLA living
In Uptown New Orleans, live oak trees shade rows of century-old homes, the streetcar rattles along St. Charles Avenue, and residents walk to restaurants on the corner.

Nearby Tulane and Loyola universities bring lively energy to the neighborhood’s edges, with trendy eateries, cafes and bars just a short walk for many residents.

What homes look like and cost in Leonidas
Mature live oak trees shade sidewalks and homes, which come in a wide range of styles. Greek Revival and Italianate mansions sit a few blocks from shotgun houses, camelbacks, Craftsman bungalows and raised cottages. Because of historic preservation efforts, many homes in Uptown still have original hardwood floors, stained-glass windows and solid-wood trim, but kitchens and bathrooms are usually updated to modern standards. “Unlike some areas where demolition has been allowed, Uptown has stayed true to its historic roots,” says Emily Flagler, local architect and owner of Emily Flagler, Architect LLC. “It’s one of the more regulated neighborhoods in the city. It’s pretty historic and tends to have relatively higher property values.”
Single-family homes have a median sale price of around $830,000, with prices typically ranging from the low $300,000s to over $4 million, depending on size, condition and location. Townhouses often cost from the mid-$200,000s to the low $600,000s, while condos, typically in historic buildings, can cost between the mid-$200,000s and the mid-$700,000s.

How Uptown's central location makes it easy to navigate NOLA
Uptown's central location makes it easy to get around New Orleans, whether you're commuting downtown, exploring nearby neighborhoods or heading to some of the city's most popular dining and shopping districts. Several key thoroughfares run through, and here’s what to know about them:
Magazine Street, to the south, provides a walkable stretch of shops, restaurants and everyday amenities, with independently owned boutiques, antique dealers and art galleries closest to the neighborhood.
St. Charles Avenue, known for its iconic streetcar and historic mansions, travels through the rough center of the neighborhood.
Freret Street, a once sleepy corridor between Tulane and Loyola universities, turned into a trendy dining district with more than 30 restaurants, bars and coffee shops, is one block north.

Prytania Theatre is a central hub for the New Orleans French Film Festival.
Uptown offers access to lots of things to do in New Orleans
Throughout Uptown, you’ll find small green spaces, squares and cultural attractions. Here are some places to explore in the neighborhood:
Evans Playground, near the northern edge, has play equipment, basketball courts and sports fields.
Laurence Square, between Magazine Street and Napoleon Avenue, across from the Basilica of St. Stephen, provides a playground, basketball courts and an open field with benches within walking distance of shops and restaurants.
Wisner Playground & Dog Run, off Laurel Street near Magazine, lets families bring kids and dogs to play.
Prytania Theatre, the oldest single-screen movie theatre in New Orleans, sits on Prytania Street, just off Magazine.
Uptown is also about 3 miles from Audubon Park, which spans roughly 350 acres in the Audubon neighborhood. It features a public golf course, sports courts and fields, walking trails and more. Uptown also places you in a great location to access cultural events, with the Uptown Carnival route running along St. Charles Avenue in the neighborhood, and the Freret Street Festival and monthly art market taking place just north in Freret.
NOLA public schools and private options in Uptown
Under New Orleans’ citywide choice program, families rank charter schools, and a lottery determines admissions. Priority is given to students based on geographic location and on whether siblings are already attending. In Uptown, Samuel J. Green Charter School is a public school that serves students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. The neighborhood is also home to highly rated private schools, including De La Salle High School, which Niche rates an A-minus and ranks as the sixth-best private school in Louisiana, and Isidore Newman School, which earns an A-plus and ranks as the best private school in the state.
What to know about flooding in Uptown
Like most of New Orleans, living in Uptown comes with flood risk. The neighborhood sits on some of the city’s higher ground, running along the natural levee that follows the Mississippi River. Blocks closer to Magazine Street and the river tend to sit at higher elevations and have historically remained drier, while lower-lying areas, like those near South Claiborne, are more prone to street flooding. Most homes fall within FEMA-mapped flood zones, and Louisiana’s flood and homeowners' insurance costs are among the highest in the country.
