Neighborhoods
Welcome to St. Roch, where tranquility meets community spirit. This peaceful, residential area is known for its neighborly vibe. You'll often find locals, possibly including myself, enjoying grilling and music along the beautiful boulevard, shaded by live oaks. The residents are friendly, so don't hesitate to greet people as you stroll through our charming neighborhood. It's the perfect blend of quiet living and local culture.
This is where you are staying. The vibe is relatively peaceful, quiet, and residential. It’s not uncommon to see neighbors (or me) grilling and listening to music on the “neutral ground” (the boulevard with the live oak’s running down the street). People are friendly. So say hello when you pass them on your walk through the neighborhood.

Between St. Claude Ave. and the river. Like St. Roch, but with fancier houses, more bars, and more restaurants. Great for wandering and sightseeing.

East of St. Roch and the Marigny, past the railroad tracks. Slightly more bohemian vibes. Great spots to eat and explore.
