French Quarter
Just a few steps from Bourbon Street, every French Quarter address places you at the center of New Orleans, with restaurants, galleries, music, architecture, and neighborhood landmarks just outside your door.
The Homes
Creole cottages, Creole townhouses and carriage houses, many built in the early 1800s, share these blocks with condominiums carved from historic buildings. Behind plain street fronts, you'll often find private courtyards, galleries and gardens you'd never guess were there.
Before You Buy
Exterior changes in the Quarter must be approved by the Vieux Carré Commission, from paint colors to windows. Many properties are condominiums with their own association rules, and short-term rental rules are strict. I help you understand all three before you make an offer.
People who live in the French Quarter know it differently than people who visit it. On the residential blocks toward Esplanade, mornings are quiet, neighbors know each other, and the grocery, the coffee shop and the river are all a short walk away.
I photograph and sell homes here because they reward a careful eye. At 625 Dumaine Street, the story was a modest Creole cottage from the street and one of the most private courtyards in the Quarter behind the gate. Helping buyers see what a French Quarter home really offers is the part of this work I enjoy most.
