The Appeal of New Construction in the New Year

A new home in The Croi — in the Irish Channel. The appeal of a well-crafted, newly constructed home that’s move-in ready (with nothing to fix!) is apparent to many. And really, what could be a better way to start off the new year than in a new house? With the breadth of new construction going on in New Orleans right now, it’s a great time to look at what’s available. From beautiful, community-driven developments like The Croi in the Irish Channel and Patterson Point in Old Algiers, to neighborhoods that are experiencing rebirth such as Gentilly, St. Roch, and more, new construction homes are springing up in a range of styles, finishes and price ranges. Take a look at a few that we love: 1817 Hollygrove St, New Orleans, LA 70118 2117 Independence St, New Orleans, LA 70117 708 Rio Vista Ave, Jefferson, LA 70121 518 Second St, New Orleans, LA 70130 536 Second St, New Orleans, LA 70130 533 Third St, New Orleans, LA 70130 6062 Memphis St, New Orleans, LA 70124
