Housing in Whitney, from classic shotguns to new builds
Because of a 1985 fire, most of Whitney's housing stock is newer or rebuilt, with construction picking up over the past decade or so. Homes built in the late 2010s and 2020s now sit alongside early-1900s houses. "There's quite a bit of new, really good developments," says Cody Stringer, a Realtor with Reve Realtors who has sold many homes in the area. Common styles include single- and double-shotguns, Creole cottages, Colonial Revivals and Craftsman-style homes. For under $100,000, buyers can find an undeveloped lot or an older home needing work. Most single-family homes run from the low $200,000s to the mid-$600,000s, and Whitney’s median sale price is around $420,000. Rentals are also available.
A variety of home styles dot the streets of Whitney.

What’s happening in nearby Algiers Point
To eat out, most people head to the nearby community of Algiers Point, just west of Whitney. This historic area is known for its port village feel and laid-back options. You can sit down for a meal or drinks at the following spots:
The Crown & Anchor English Pub, a traditional-feeling English pub with an extensive drink selection and crisps for snacking
Barracuda Taco Stand, a walk-up-to-the-window taco spot with a relaxed vibe and patio seating
Old Point Bar, a hole-in-the-wall dive with pool tables and live music
Tout de Suite Café, a corner coffee shop that serves Cajun-inspired breakfast and lunch dishes
Most residents head to Algiers Point to spend time outside, too. The Mississippi River Trail runs for about 9 miles along the levee, with the Robert E. Nims Jazz Walk of Fame making up a portion of it. You’ll see historical markers highlighting notable figures of the genre, as well as some art installations.
Where Whitney students can go to school
NOLA Public Schools serves Whitney. The district uses a citywide school choice system that allows students to rank their preferences, and placements are determined by lottery. Factors like geographical location and whether a sibling currently attends a school are considered during placement. L.B. Landry High School is in Whitney. It has career credentials in fields like IT, health sciences, cosmetology and skilled trades, with Advanced Placement, dual-enrollment and college-credit options, plus well-regarded band, arts and athletics programs.
Whitney’s commuting and transit options
To get across the river, you can take the Crescent City Connection bridge, which borders the neighborhood, or the ferry from Algiers Point, which drops you near the French Quarter. “The homes are a great value for the convenience you get,” Stringer says. “People who work downtown have immediate access without having to live in the middle of it.” General de Gaulle Drive, a major thoroughfare, also runs through Whitney and leads farther inland. New Orleans Regional Transit Authority and Jefferson Transit buses serve the area, and Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport is about 20 miles away.
Bus stops are located throughout Whitney.
Whitney commuters have a short ride downtown.

What to know about flooding in Algiers Point
Whitney’s West Bank location puts it on relatively higher ground. The area largely escaped the catastrophic levee-failure flooding that devastated East Bank neighborhoods during Hurricane Katrina. Many homes, raised on stilts or platforms, are intentionally built to withstand flooding. That said, the wider region faces real hurricane and heavy-rain risks, and the city's pump and drainage systems have been overwhelmed during past downpours, so flood insurance and elevation are worth checking.
