Palm Terrace, A Mini New Orleans Neighborhood
February 12th, 2016 Categories: Historic Homes, New Orleans Neighborhoods
Palm Terrace
New Orleans Mini Neighbrohood
A tiny Mediterranean Neighborhood between Marengo and Milan right off St. Charles Avenue. It is only one block long. It was built in 1925. There are about a dozen single story stucco homes on raised lots. They are Spanish Colonial Revival homes.
This is one of a kind street and group of homes in New Orleans. It’s easy to spot on the streetcar line. Next time just hop off and take a walk back in history and wonder why the mini neighborhood was built. It is quite different that anything else in town…..

The Colonial Condos at 1301 N. Rampart steps from the New Orleans French Quarter
December 12th, 2015 Categories: French Quarter, Second Homes
Colonial Condos, New Orleans, 70116
Corner of Esplanade Avenue and N. Rampart
The Colonial Condos are steps away from the New Orleans French Quarter. You get much more for your money here because you are on the edge of the Quarter. With the new street car line coming,the area will get another boost by being right on the line.
The 80 year old plus building was once a furniture store. Its was totally tranformed into 33 condos in 2007. The 5 story building has one bedrooms, two bedrooms and several penthouses. Each condo has a gated parking spot and a gated storage area on the first floor. This is rare for the area.
The Condo fees are moderate. There is a fitness room, saltwater pool, balconies, hardwood floors, guest lounge, balconies. Hard to beat for the updates and open floor plans
. This is a great example of being right next to a much more expensive area where you get much more for your money. You are close to one of the most expensive areas for condos in the New Orleans Market. Many agents and buyers overlook this building because it is not right in the quarter but it’s right there.
Steps to Esplanade Avenue and the
Marigny and French Quarter
New Streetcar Line Coming Soon

Neighborhood Condos in the New Orleans Market
November 25th, 2015 Categories: Garden District, Second Homes
New Orleans Neighborhood Condos
In New Orleans you have a segment of the condo market that I call neighborhood condos. These are generally historic condos that have been converted into condos from large homes, doubles, four plexes and apartment buildings. These will be in neighborhoods with homes. The condos will not have large common areas, pools, gyms, and lobbies.
What these condo will have is a neighborhood feel with lots of historic features. They will be in walking distance of St. Charles Avenue and Magazine Street. Always plenty to do in all these areas.
It is a segment that you should explore if you are looking for a second home or primary residence. You get so much more for your money. The condo fees are generally lower and the units are larger. I have been doing this segment long enough that I have seen and showed many of the units. Love the neighborhoods and walk them all the time.
Most people have not been exposed to this segment so it is worth while for me to review this style of condo if you are interested. Best way to to walk the neighborhoods to get the feel for yourself.

Several Doubles on Napoleon into condos

New Orleans Condos, Knowing the Neighborhoods is Very Important !
October 2nd, 2015 Categories: Condo Knowledge, New Orleans Condo Reviews
When you are buying a condo for a second home or primary residence it’s always important to know the neighborhood. Many buyers are not that familiar with the many neighborhoods that New Orleans Has to offer. Some may only know the French Quarter and cannot afford what you can buy in that area as it is one of the more expensive places to buy a condo.
I have found that one of the best ways to help clients is to drive the neighborhood , then park and walk about so the client gets a real feel for what is going on in the neighborhood. Many clients are surprised at what they see and then become open to more than the one area where they thought about buying. I walk these neighborhoods often with clients and taking photos as a hobby. This has proved to be a very effective learning tool.
Some clients will even switch to buying a small home rather than a condo. Many times the neighborhoods change in their rankings after we take the tour. That is one feature I offer as an agent that sells all over the New Orleans Metro Area. I have fun doing it and answer questions as we take the tour.
Many clients want to be in areas where they can walk to a lot of venues. That is why you should walk the areas and get a real feel for what you want. Many clients do change their minds after the tour and walk about. It’s a learning experience for all. Then I can set you up to see all the new listings, sales, under contract within the areas where your interest may lie. That way you get to see more and get a better feel. It happens to work….Over and over again….Let’s set up a neighborhood tour…Bring your walking shoes.

The Lower Garden District Neighborhood of New Orleans, More NOLA Condos than one would think…
September 22nd, 2015 Categories: Condo Knowledge, Garden District
The Lower Garden District has become a hot condo market. It is right outside the New Orleans Warehouse District and the Garden District. Check out my page on Lower Garden District Condos. The photos of the area will give you some idea as to why it is more popular than ever.
Most of the condos in the area have been converted from old historic homes, multifamily units and apartment complexes. It’s a great neighborhood to walk to look at all the historic homes. It’s an easy walk to St. Charles Avenue and Magazine Street. Coliseum Square is what I see as the center of the Lower Garden District. Great place to excercise and walk your dog.
Always good idea to check out the neighborhood before you buy. Best to get out and walk and take a tour. Do it so often I could be a tour guide if it paid more. My tours are free so just let me know when…..
