Why Live in Desire Area

The Desire Area in New Orleans' Upper Ninth Ward is a neighborhood in transition, bordered by Interstate 10, the Industrial Canal, and train tracks. Redevelopment is ongoing, with new homes and community services gradually emerging. Residents often leave the neighborhood for work and shopping, with the nearest businesses located on Chef Menteur Highway, including a Walmart Supercenter and various chain restaurants. Public transportation is available but slow, making car travel more common. The area features traditional architecture with bungalows and cottages, many of which are newly built or restored. Community engagement is fostered through events at Barcelo Gardens Fresh Market and Thrive New Orleans, with activities like kids cooking classes and environmental cleanup days. Sampson Playground serves as the main recreational space, offering baseball, basketball, and a popular outdoor pool. Education options include KIPP Leadership Academy and G.W. Carver High School, with the highly rated New Orleans Center for Creative Arts nearby. The Desire Area has a crime rate comparable to the national average, with residents reporting that crime is less frequent in the quieter residential zones. Environmental concerns persist due to the area's history as a Superfund site.
