When you’re in New Orleans, variety is truly the spice of life; a fact that inspires thousands of newcomers every year to start their New Orleans home search. Here is a snapshot of a few “only in N’awlins” attractions that make this city a great place to call home.
Without a doubt, New Orleans has a very distinct look about it, marked by 17 historical landmark districts, large European-style Catholic cemeteries with above-ground tombs, and a variety of architecture that is nothing less than a feast for the eyes. Homes in New Orleans range from antebellum plantations and narrow shotgun shacks to prim Queen Anne Victorian homes and Italianate mansions. Some of the most famous districts of New Orleans include the historic French Quarter, the Warehouse Arts District, referred to as “SoHo of the South,” Magazine Street, the city’s premier shopping district, and bawdy Bourbon Street, famous for its nightlife revelry.
