Location and Vibe

The Lower Garden District is a picturesque and historic neighborhood known for its magnificent homes, lush greenery, and inviting streets. It's an ideal location for those who desire a quiet, peaceful atmosphere while still having easy access to everything New Orleans has to offer. The neighborhood is bordered by St. Charles Avenue, Magazine Street, Jackson Avenue, and Felicity Street.

Local Landmarks and Quirks

The Lower Garden District is not only beautiful but also rich with history and unique landmarks. The historic St. Alphonsus Church is a notable landmark in the area. The neighborhood also gained a bit of modern notoriety in 2016 with the installation of the Pikachu sculpture, also known as the "Pokemonument." This 5-foot fiberglass statue, a tribute to Pokémon Go, was a temporary but memorable addition to the neighborhood's unique character.

For families, the Lower Garden District is zoned to schools within the New Orleans Public Schools and the Recovery School District.
