Louisiana Orleans County New Orleans Desire Area

Studio Homes for Sale in Desire Area, New Orleans

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 nearby rail lines, with new homes and community services gradually filling in alongside traditional bungalows and cottages. Community life is centered on programs at Barcelo Gardens Fresh Market and Thrive New Orleans, which host activities such as kids cooking classes and neighborhood cleanup days, and on Sampson Playground, a key recreation spot with baseball and basketball facilities and a well-used outdoor pool. Public transit serves the area but tends to be slower, so most people rely on cars to move between the Desire Area and other parts of the city. Families have several school options, including KIPP Leadership Academy and G.W. Carver High School, with the nearby New Orleans Center for Creative Arts offering a specialized arts education, and long-term conversations in the neighborhood continue to include attention to environmental conditions given its past as a Superfund site.
