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.
Exposed brick catches the afternoon light across worn wood floors, and the quiet hum of the Marigny drifts in through tall windows. This 200-year-old Creole cottage blends original architecture with everyday comfort, giving groups an authentic home base for exploring New Orleans without straying far from the music and energy that define the neighborhood.
Sleeping arrangements
Four bedrooms and seven beds sleep up to 12 guests, with room-darkening blinds, bed linen, and extra pillows and blankets in every room for a restful night regardless of how late the evening ran. Three full bathrooms keep mornings moving, including one with a clawfoot tub for a slower start to the day.
Kitchen & dining
Two separate kitchens mean no one has to wait their turn, whether the group is splitting off for brunch or regrouping for a late dinner after a night out. Each is stocked with a fridge, freezer, cooker, oven, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, kettle, coffee maker, rice cooker, wine glasses, and cooking basics, crockery and cutlery for whatever the week calls for.
Living & lounge areas
Shared spaces are built for groups to actually spend time together, with local art on the walls and a TV for the nights everyone stays in. A dedicated workspace with a door offers a quiet corner for anyone who needs to log on, backed by wifi throughout the home. Air conditioning, a ceiling fan, and portable fans keep rooms comfortable, with heating on hand for cooler stretches.
Outdoor living
A patio or balcony and an outdoor dining area give the group somewhere to linger over coffee in the morning or a drink in the evening, with the Marigny's rhythm just beyond the gate.
Neighborhood
Frenchmen Street is a short walk away, putting live jazz, bars, cafés, and galleries within easy reach, with the French Quarter close enough for a full day of wandering. The location works equally well for a Mardi Gras trip, a New Year's Eve group getaway, or a Sugar Bowl weekend.
Additional details
A washing machine and tumble dryer, iron, hangers, and bathroom essentials like shampoo, conditioner, body soap, and shower gel round out the stay. Self check-in with a smart lock makes arrival simple, and exterior security cameras, a smoke alarm, carbon monoxide alarm, fire extinguisher, and first aid kit are on hand for peace of mind. Free on-street parking is available, and babysitter recommendations can be provided on request.
