A mixed-use, riverfront community

A mile and a half south of the French Quarter, New Orleans’ Warehouse District has been called many things. Known alternatively as the Arts District, it was once part of Faubourg Sainte Maire, the city’s first neighborhood. The neighborhood was initially the manufacturing and warehouse hub of New Orleans, but revitalization efforts beginning in the 1980s drew residents in with modern, industrial-style apartments and condos, leading to its current incarnation as the city’s hottest spot for art, fine restaurants and sporting events.

Everything within reach

Residents don’t have to leave the district to reach some of the country’s most well-known eateries and museums. “Emeril Lagasse opened his first restaurant here in 1990,” says Shaun Talbot, Partner at Talbot Realty Group. “People thought he was crazy because so few people lived in the area at that time.” Talbot, whose history with the Warehouse District goes back to his father selling property in the area during the 70s, says the district originally grew around the philosophy of offering places to live, work and play all within the same small area. “There’s really an embarrassment of riches within these few blocks,” he says. In addition to popular restaurants like Willa Jean, which serves Southern American fare, and Pho Tau Bay, which Emeril once called his favorite Vietnamese spot in the city, residents enjoy a rich cultural scene bolstered by museums like the Ogden Museum of Southern Art and the Louisiana Civil Rights Museum.

Trees of all kind

Along St. Charles Avenue, Lafayette Square is two and a half acres of live oaks and sycamores, providing a beautiful backdrop for the park’s concerts and festivals. Closer to the river, the Mississippi River Heritage Park gives dog owners enough space to let their dogs run or simply lie in the shade of its many oak or palm trees.

Industry gone residential

The Warehouse District, Talbot says, has “a very broad range of options for housing and apartments.” The buildings predominantly feature Italianate or Greek Revival architecture, though many of the newer buildings feature more modern designs. Buildings tend to sit on the sidewalk, with no front yard space and often no space between the buildings, and many apartment and condo buildings offer ground-level parking to their residents. Prices start as low as $250,000 for a street-level one-bedroom condo and easily surpass $1 million for luxury units in developments like The Four Seasons.

Elsewhere for education

“We had one school—a local charter school—but they just moved,” says Talbot. “It’s not an area where there are many families.” For families considering a home in the Warehouse District, students will have to attend nearby schools like Mary Bethune Elementary School of Literature and Technology, which provides kindergarten through 8th grade, and Warren Easton Senior High School, which provides grades 9 through 12. Both schools earn a C-plus on Niche.

Great for getting those steps in

Commuting in the Warehouse District is made easier by its many options. There are bike lanes throughout the area, and even if you don’t own a cycle, Blue Bikes can be rented from multiple pickup areas. Public transit is also abundant, with bus and streetcar routes running through the district to points all over the city. For those who’d rather get their steps in, Talbot says the city’s walkability is something people love about its big events. “It’s a 15-minute city,” he says. “You can walk from the riverfront to the Superdome to the French Quarter and financial districts.”

Celebrations small and large drawing big crowds

The Warehouse District provides residents front-row seating to New Orleans’ major events, like Mardi Gras and Saints games at the Superdome. But these major events aren’t the only ones drawing big crowds. Honoring local artists and galleries, White Linen Night is an artsy celebration along Julia St which brings 20,000 to 30,000 people to the neighborhood every August.
