The Garden District is one of the most beautiful and historic neighborhoods in
New Orleans. It is famous for its grand mansions, historic homes, and quiet
streets lined with oak trees.
Developed during the 19th century, the district showcases impressive Greek
Revival, Victorian, and Italianate architecture. Large gardens and elegant
homes give the neighborhood its distinctive name and atmosphere.
