Garden District Real Estate

Developed in the 1830s by Americans who settled upriver from the Creole-dominated French Quarter, the Garden District became a showcase of antebellum grandeur.

Greek Revival mansions with towering Corinthian columns line Prytania Street and First Street, while Italianate villas, Gothic Revival cottages, and Queen Anne houses fill the surrounding blocks. Many sit on deep lots shaded by centuries-old live oaks, with gardens that give the neighborhood its name.

Real estate here is among the most sought-after in New Orleans. Buyers will find grand single-family homes ranging from carefully restored historic mansions to modernized interiors behind original facades. Smaller properties include double-gallery houses and converted carriage houses. Magazine Street offers walkable access to boutiques and restaurants, while the St. Charles Avenue streetcar connects residents to downtown.

Purchasing in the Garden District often means working within local historic preservation guidelines. Our KW New Orleans agents bring deep knowledge of the neighborhood’s inventory, pricing trends, and the realities of maintaining a historic home in a subtropical climate.
