Uptown Neighborhood

Gracious Streets.
New Orleans at Its Best.

Uptown stretches upriver from the Garden District along the St. Charles Avenue corridor, served by the oldest continuously operating streetcar line in the world.

The neighborhood is defined by oak-canopied streets, grand Victorian and Greek Revival homes on wide lots, and the quiet confidence of a place that has been desirable for well over a century. Tulane and Loyola Universities sit across from Audubon Park, adding academic energy to the neighborhood’s residential character.

Uptown real estate is some of the most sought-after in New Orleans. Single-family homes typically start above $500K, with larger homes and renovated doubles reaching well into the millions, while condos offer an entry point starting around $150K. Walkability to Magazine Street and access to Audubon Park keep demand consistent.

Why People Love
Life in Uptown

Dining & Local Favorites

Camellia Grill on Carrollton Avenue is an Uptown institution: counter service and lines that tell you everything. Boucherie and Clancy’s anchor the sit-down dining scene, and The Columns Hotel on St. Charles is a beloved neighborhood gathering spot. Magazine Street’s coffee shops and casual restaurants run through the heart of Uptown.

Audubon Park & Outdoors

Audubon Park, about 350 acres of oak canopy, jogging trails, lagoons, and the Audubon Zoo, is Uptown’s front yard. The St. Charles Avenue neutral ground stretches for miles under oaks old enough to have witnessed the city’s full history. Residents walk, run, and cycle year-round.

Shopping & Magazine Street

Magazine Street runs through Uptown with boutiques, antique shops, home goods stores, coffee shops, and restaurants. The Prytania Theatre, open since 1915, is an Uptown landmark and a neighborhood gathering point.

Universities & Community

Tulane and Loyola Universities bring academic culture and campus events to the neighborhood. The St. Charles streetcar connects the length of Uptown to the CBD and French Quarter, and strong neighborhood associations keep the community civically engaged.
