"Everything is within walking distance or even a short drive. You are far away from Bourbon street that you feel safe but close enough to walk to the action if you want. "

"My commute is outside of New Orleans, about 30 minutes. It’s definitely easy because I go the opposite direction of traffic!"

"Great quiet neighborhood. Great park for walking dogs. Some issues with upkeep of said facilities, however this could be fixed with a simple petition to improve them."

"Neighborly atmosphere among most people, except for the uber bourgeois wanna be residents or those who are lucky in life, judgers &/or shameers. "

"Just 2 minutes from the expressway, can be anywhere in town within 15 minutes. Takes me 10 minutes to get to Metairie in the morning. "

"It has a small village feel, mojos, parks, great food, and an eclectic, stew of artists, musicians and chefs. Walking distance to the Quarter and street cars. Great parade route( magazine street) walk to stadiums and museums. Great night life and wonderful caring neighbors"

"I've lived in the area for several years and love it. The historic area has had a major upgrade since I've been here, a renaissance that is continuing as we speak. Close to everything - The Magazine St. corridor, St. Charles Ave, the river, the Superdome, the Warehouse district and French Quarter... as well as the main roads in and out of the city..."

"We loved living in this neighborhood -- there are tons of absolutely fantastic restaurants, shops and entertainment all within walking distance. The French Quarter, Superdome, Mississippi River Moonwalk, and Farmers Markets are all within a couple blocks of Julia & Magazine as well. We looked forward to the first Saturday of every month when the art galleries on Julia Street would all open their doors to show off their new exhibits. People from all walks of life would come out, enjoy a glass of wine and see great art while meeting new people. We also loved the White Linen Night festival on Julia Street every August. We Miss Living here!!! We would recommend this area to anyone looking to rent or buy property in New Orleans."

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI attended Trinity from pk-8th grade and absolutely loved it. The classmates I grew up with were more like family than friends and I still go back and talk to teachers I had in 1st grade. It is a loving and nurturing community and makes every kid feel welcome. Having switched to Newman in high school, I miss trinity's nurturing spirit even more. The pastoral life was also a wonderful part of the school, and allowed me to form my own opinion on religion. This is hands down the best lower/middle school in the state.Other Review14y ago2 Reviews - St. Alphonsus School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAvoid this school if you can. You may get a good teacher every once in a while, but most of the staff is poor. Admin at this school don't care about your kids, and would rather hang out with all their friends, who just so happen to get jobs there....Other Review2y ago4 Reviews
