Lower Garden District Real Estate

Known locally as the LGD, the Lower Garden District combines 19th-century architecture with a thriving restaurant and nightlife scene centered on Magazine Street.

Developed primarily in the 1840s through 1870s, the housing stock reflects the transition from Creole building traditions to American styles. Greek Revival influences appear in doorways and cornices, while the signature form is the side-hall double with a central entrance and parlors on either side.

Coliseum Square is surrounded by the LGD’s most impressive homes. Magazine Street is lined with restaurants, bars, and shops. Proximity to the Warehouse District and downtown makes the LGD popular with buyers seeking an urban lifestyle with historic character.

The LGD offers everything from grand historic homes to condominiums in converted warehouses, with price points often more accessible than the neighboring Garden District. Our KW New Orleans agents know the LGD intimately.
