The Garden District is one of America’s best-preserved collections of 19th-century architecture — a district of grand mansions, cast-iron fences, and oak-canopied streets just upriver from the French Quarter. Developed largely between the 1830s and 1860s, its blocks were laid out with generous gardens that gave the neighborhood its name.
Homes here range from stately Greek Revival and Italianate mansions to raised center-hall houses and Victorian doubles. Many sit within a locally protected historic district, so period details — galleries, corbels, and ironwork — are carefully preserved. The St. Charles Avenue streetcar runs along its edge, and Magazine Street’s shops and restaurants line the river side.
Because inventory in the Garden District is limited and homes are often architecturally significant, local knowledge matters. Kari Ayala can help you understand pricing, historic-district considerations, and what to look for in these older homes.
