The workmanship and details in these New Orleans historic homes are unique!
"The quality imparted to a thing in the process of making" as described by Webster's can be seen in many historic shotguns of New Orleans. It puts a face on the home! A Smiley Face for all to see!
New Orleans does have Sailboats, Lake Pontchartrain is home to many of them.
The New Orleans Neighborhood of Lakeview is adjacent to Lake Pontchartrain which is the largest lake in Louisiana. Providing various recreational opportunities from sailing to fishing. A couple of interesting facts is that the lake is only 12-14 ft. deep but is 24×40 miles in the shape of an oval. It is both salt water from the Gulf of Mexico and fresh water from the various rivers that pour into the lake on the north shore.
Its another thing to do in New Orleans. Its just not talked about a lot. It is almost a year round sport. The lake is 5-6 miles from downtown.
Audubon Trace, Townhomes or Condos? Its a great place to live!
The Audubon Trace Condos are located in Old Jefferson between Jefferson Highway and the Mississippi River Levee. They are townhouse condos. Town homes are the particular style of home and condos mean common areas and maintenance are shared. This is not your typical apartment conversion to condos but rather a designed community of attached townhouses with plenty of common grounds. Its a little different lifestyle over your typical condo in Jefferson.
The townhouses are spread out over 15 acres with townhouses spread out in units of 8-10 condos. Almost all are two bedroom townhouse style unit. The townhouse style is where the bedrooms are up or down.type of condos. The larger units do have garages but parking is very easy and plentiful.
What you do not get at Audubon Trace is the normal apartment feel of being on top of your neighborhoods like so many condo complexes in Metairie. You have plenty of room for walking the pets as well as yourself. If you like being out doors Jefferson Playground and tennis courts are right out the back gate. There is a large playground, full size track, and the Mississippi River long a favorite of bicyclers and Rollerblades. There two large pools on the grounds of Audubon Trace Condos for residents.
Prices will be from 175k-200k for the most common floor plans. These will be units from 1250-1400 sq. ft. of living. These will have open parking. The prices will vary depending on the style of the unit, square footage and the amount of updates that have been done. They are almost 25 years old so almost all the units will have varying degrees of updates.
The Audubon Trace Townhouse Condos will have some some sort of private outdoor area for your own plants and outdoor furniture. The condo association is very strong. Its staff of workers do a very nice job of maintaining the exterior of the units and the common areas. The two swimming pools, large amount of trees, shrubs and grass make it its own special neighborhood. That why you have many long time residents!
The Double Shotgun Home, A New Orleans Origional!
The Shotgun Style of home originated in New Orleans beginning in the 1830's and extending to 1920's. This was the predominate style of home in New Orleans during that time. It was a narrow rectangle raised house on a small lot generally no wider than 25′. There were no hallways but you walked through one room to the next. Its was not until 1903 that people began to call them Shotguns, it was boasted that shooting a shotgun through the front door the buckshot would leave through the back door. A double shotgun is where the middle wall is shared, often times occupied by another family member. Thousands are still here !
New Orleans has plenty of statues, This is another very interesting one!
New Orleans is a historic town and been around for about 300 years. This fact alone means there is a lot of history. One of the interesting things is that you commemorate a lot of things through statues. Found this one in City Park enjoying a fall afternoon under the spreading oak trees.

New Orleans Uptown/Garder District Condos
We had previously met Eric when we had first started looking at houses about a year ago. We were viewing houses on our own , and Eric happened to be getting ready to show another house on the same street. When we entered the house ( what we thought was a nice house) , Eric was quick to point out all of the flaws that would need to be fixed with the house, and the asking price was way too high. So..about a year later we called Prudential about a house that was recently listed with them, and Eric answered the phone. Immediately, I knew I wanted Eric as our realtor, because of his honesty, and his straight-forward personality. We were able to purchase the house we wanted, and Eric was helpful through out the process. Eric, did not try and push us to agree to anything, just to get the sale. I believe it is very is very important to be able to feel comfortable with your realtor, and not have a realtor who trys to get you to compromise on what you really want in a house, or the price you are willing to pay for a house. Eric did neither of these. If I ever need to purchase , or sell a house again, I would definitely hire Eric , and I would recommend Eric to friends , family, strangers, ect. anyone that I hear is trying to buy or sell a house. Thanks Eric Jennifer
