The French Quarter is New Orleans’ oldest and most expensive neighborhood, but homeowners who seek its densely urban layout, historic appeal, and walkability can find those same attributes in the neighboring Marigny Triangle. In some ways, the Marigny Triangle is superior to the French Quarter: sandwiched between the Vieux Carre and the trending Bywater, it enjoys proximity to amenities in both neighborhoods. This home is ideally located only a short distance to numerous New Orleans landmarks, including The Spotted Cat Music Club (0.7 Miles), Jackson Square (1.1 Miles), JAMNOLA (1.0 Miles), and Caesar's Superdome/Smoothie King Center (2.5 Miles).
Faubourg Marigny
Residents of the Faubourg (an ancient French term for "suburb") Marigny are very proud of their neighborhood...and who can blame them?
Here in this small wedge of real estate located just downriver from the French Quarter, you'll find everything that makes New Orleans a uniquely wonderful place. The jazz clubs lining Frenchmen Street are world-famous, and every night you can hear big-name acts jamming with the hippest stars of tomorrow. The Marigny is home to some of the city's trendiest restaurants: places where new chefs constantly reinvent the city's cuisine. Neighborhood galleries and antique stories offer gems for every pocketbook, from museum-quality art to thrift-shop chic. And the area's eclectic late Georgian, Creole, and Greek Revival houses nestle closely together, forming a fascinating and varied cityscape.
The Marigny's boundaries as defined by the City Planning Commission are: North Rampart Street and St. Claude Avenue to the north, Franklin Avenue to the east, the Mississippi River to the south and Esplanade Avenue to the west.
The Marigny was laid out in the first decade of the 19th century by eccentric Creole millionaire developer Bernard Xavier Philippe de Marigny de Mandeville on land that had been his family plantation, just downriver from the old city limits of New Orleans. The portion of the Marigny closer to the river was built up first; the area on the side of St. Claude Avenue (formerly "Goodchildren Street") away from the river was sometimes called "New Marigny".
Elysian Fields Avenue, named after the Champs-Élysées in Paris, was designed to be the main street of the Faubourg Marigny. It was the first street in New Orleans to extend all the way from the riverfront straight to Lake Pontchartrain, 8 km (5 miles) away. From 1830-31, the Pontchartrain Railroad was built, with tracks running down the center of Elysian Fields. The area at the other end of the rail line developed into Milneburg. Marigny's town square, Washington Square, fronts Elysian Fields.
The neighborhood declined in the mid-20th century but came back strong in the late 20th century. After profiteering centered around the 1984 World's Fair drove many long-term residents from the French Quarter into the Marigny. Frenchmen Street soon developed the city's premier collection of live music venues and restaurants, and is a popular destination for both locals and knowledgeable out-of-towners.

★ Huge home, our group had tons of room.
Sunlight spills through tall windows onto exposed brick and warm wood floors, setting the tone for a stay rooted in New Orleans history. This 200-year-old Creole cottage carries the soul of the Marigny - original architecture, local artwork on the walls, and a rhythm that mirrors the neighborhood just outside your door. August in New Orleans is alive with heat, late-night music drifting from Frenchmen Street, and the kind of energy that makes a well-cooled home feel like a true refuge.
Sleeping arrangements
Four bedrooms and seven beds make this home a natural fit for groups of up to 12. Each bedroom pairs historic character with practical comfort - plush bedding, room-darkening shades, and thoughtful touches for restful nights. Three full bathrooms serve the group with ease, including one featuring a classic clawfoot tub.
Kitchen & dining
Two fully equipped kitchens give your group the flexibility to cook together without the scramble. Each is stocked with a refrigerator, freezer, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, hot water kettle, rice maker, cooking basics, dishes, silverware, wine glasses, and a baking sheet. Whether it's a slow Saturday brunch or a late-night bite after live music, you'll have everything you need to eat well without leaving home.
Living & lounge areas
The living spaces invite your group to settle in - ample seating, locally sourced artwork, and a TV for quieter evenings in. A dedicated workspace with a door offers a private corner for anyone who needs to stay connected. Air conditioning units, ceiling fans, and portable fans keep things cool through the thick summer heat, with heating available when temperatures dip.
Outdoor living
Your private porch and patio extend the living space outdoors. Set up for outdoor dining, it's an ideal spot for morning coffee before the city wakes up or evening drinks as the neighborhood comes alive. The ambiance of the Marigny surrounds you - unhurried, distinctive, and entirely New Orleans.
Bathroom
Three full bathrooms - including one with a clawfoot tub - give a group of 12 the room to move through mornings without bottlenecks. Essentials are covered: shampoo, conditioner, body soap, shower gel, hot water, and a hair dryer.
Location
Frenchmen Street is a five-minute walk away, putting live jazz, local bars, cafés, and art galleries right at your doorstep. The French Quarter is equally close, making this home a well-positioned base for group getaways - whether you're here for a special event, Mardi Gras, New Year's Eve, or simply to experience New Orleans at its fullest.
