Garden District
Laid out in 1832 on the old Livaudais plantation, and filled in between 1838 and 1884 with Greek Revival and Italianate houses set on generous lots. The Garden District Association has looked after it since 1939. Raised basements and deep galleries are practical here, not decorative: they answer flooding and heat.
5 sales totalling $16,147,0001 currently listed
Uptown
The stretch above the Garden District, built out along the St. Charles streetcar line and around Audubon Park. Its houses run from antebellum galleried homes to early twentieth-century revivals, and the blocks nearest the park have long carried the highest prices in the district.
6 sales totalling $17,544,0004 currently listed
St. Charles Avenue
The oak-lined avenue that carries the oldest continuously operating streetcar line in the world. Frontage on the Avenue itself has always been its own market, distinct from the streets behind it.
2 sales totalling $8,000,0002 currently listed
Lower Garden District
Centred on Coliseum Square, and older than the Garden District proper: these blocks went up in the early nineteenth century as the city expanded upriver from the French Quarter. Greek Revival, Victorian and historic cottages sit side by side under old live oaks.
3 sales totalling $6,699,0001 currently listed
French Quarter
The oldest neighbourhood in the city, and the most tightly regulated. Creole townhouses, cast-iron galleries and courtyard plans, where a corner position and street visibility carry real weight.
1 sale totalling $2,250,0001 currently listed
Warehouse District
Nineteenth-century warehouses and shipping buildings near the river, converted from the 1980s onward into lofts and galleries around the Contemporary Arts Center. The stock here is conversion rather than construction.

Mid-City
Between the river and Lake Pontchartrain, built out largely in the 1910s to 1930s. Shotgun houses and doubles dominate: narrow and deep, shaped by long thin lots and by the heat.

Beyond the city
Eleanor is licensed in Louisiana and Mississippi, and represents property outside the city as well: Destrehan, Bay St. Louis on the Gulf Coast, and further out into Plaquemines and Tangipahoa parishes.
