Garden District New Orleans, Developed in 1832-1900 from larger plantations.
The Garden District in New Orleans was developed in the prior before the Civil War and 1900. The area was formerly plantations that were divided into several homes per block with large gardens thus giving it the name of the Garden District. Wealthy English speaking residents moved to the area and loved to show off their new wealth. Over time many of the homes with large gardens were subdivided into small plots, thus increasing the variety of homes you see today.
Warehouse District Favorite, Lucy's Bar and Grill!
Lucy's , the Retired Surfers Bar continues to be popular in the New Orleans Warehouse District. Its been open since 1992. Its actually a small chain of 3 that opened in 1985 by retired surfers. Located on the corner of Tchoupitoulas and Girod at 701 Tchoupitoulas. Its made it in New Orleans so it must have something to offer. Moderate drink prices and food that is good. Dressing up is not needed or required.
Its very normal to have bars and grills in the older neighborhoods of New Orleans. People just walk over to meet other people, have something to eat along with a couple of beers.
Attention to detail! Uptown Victorian New Orleans Homes is full of details! This is an interesting home in Uptown New Orleans so I took the photo and did a little research. Most of the homes with this Victorian style in Uptown New Orleans date from 1870 to 1905. Atttention to detail was a trade mark for New Orleans in this time period. The wealthy wanted to show off their homes as this was a way to say I have made it.
Ferns and French Quarter Balconies, Semi-Tropical Weather makes it all possible.
The balconies in the New Orleans French Quarter that adorn the historic buildings are also a showcase for those with a green thumb. A balcony is a porch to the world to show their skills. This is made possible by plenty of moisture through our humidity and frequent showers. Freezes are rare occurrences and the sunshine is plentiful. The growing season is long with the best weather being October to May. The Mississippi Delta soil is rich in organic materials. The only rocks that we have are imported from other states and countries.

| The Condos right off Veterans with an entrance on Cleary is a new conversion that was started in 2005 . The 35 condos cover 5 floors with a 5 story atrium. The prices start at $162,500 for a one bedroom. The units are larger units with most of the condos being 2 bedrooms. Everything is new in the complex. There is plenty of secure parking. There is a swimming pool to one side of the yard. The condo fees are moderate. New means new electrical, new a/c and heat, new pluming and the common areas. New carpets, new floors, freshly painted, crown molding, The kitchen and baths are upscale with new stainless steel applainces, granite countertops, upscale cabinets along with a new washer and dryer. The bathrooms are also nice and large. There is plenty of storage in each unit. The master baths in this unit has a shower as well as a bathtub. I noticed that all the units were very quiet and the rooms very large for a Metairie condo. Being so new the condo fees should stay in the moderate range once the condo association is turned over to the owners. This is because almost everything is new and well kept up since there are several units still for sale by the developer. |

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
