An introduction to New Orleans/Uptown

Uptown New Orleans was developed during the 19th century boom when New Orleans was one of the fastest growing cities in the United States. The concentration and variety of intact 19th and early 20th century architecture make it a treat for those who enjoy the architecture of those eras, as well as a frequent setting for movie scenes.

Although predominantly residential and there is a wealth of local shops and restaurants -- many clustered along "neighborhood main streets", others scatted here and there.

The main streets of interest to visitors, stretching in gentle curves reflecting that of the Mississippi River from one end of Uptown to the other, are St. Charles Avenue with its famous streetcar line, and Magazine Street, a commercial hub with a bus line. Those visiting with a vehicle or bicycle may also wish to check out Prytania Street, which parallels St. Charles a couple blocks closer to the river, competing with St. Charles for beautiful architecture along with a smattering of local businesses.

The parts of Uptown "back of town" (furthest from the river) near Claiborne Avenue experienced some flooding in the Federal levee failure disaster during Hurricane Katrina. For the most part it is still less thriving and of less interest to visitors. A notable exception is a section of Freret Street between Jefferson Avenue and Napoleon Avenue. This circa 1900 neighborhood commercial street was in decline for a generation before it was flooded chest deep in 2005. By 2011, however it was one of the success stories of the New Orleans rebirth. While a few parts are still on the ragged side and the 8 block stretch of Freret is now hopping with new innovative local restaurants, shops, cafes, a comedy club, and a monthly market.

Travel to New Orleans/Uptown

Uptown New Orleans map - 475px

By car

While a busy section of town, vehicle is still an effective means of getting around Uptown, unlike the CBD, French Quarter, or Marigny. Parking is seldom too hard to find, outside major events like Mardi Gras, although you may sometimes have to park around the junction from where you're going, since many of the old commercial buildings have little or no off street parking. Traffic is often slow on major streets, especially during rush hour.

By streetcar

The St Charles Streetcar is quite a convenient way to get around Uptown, running along the main street from the edge of the French Quarter through the CBD, all the way through Uptown to Tulane University and then on to the main section of Carrollton.

Travel on a Bus in New Orleans/Uptown

Bus 11 is the most useful public transport route (aside from the streetcar), coming from Canal Street in the CBD and then running the length of Magazine Street through the shopping corridor and on to the Audobon Zoo. Bus 16 runs along Claiborne from Canal and bus 10 along Tchoupitoulas.

Bus 27 is another useful route if you are near the shopping corridor. It runs along Louisiana and will take you to the most popular (and safest) New Orleans/Mid-City_and_Esplanade_Ridge#Cemeteries|cemeteries. The Cemeteries terminus also connects back up with the Canal Streetcar.

Best way to travel in New Orleans/Uptown by a Taxi

Taxis are reasonably easy to hail off the street throughout Uptown, provided you are on one of the primary streets.

What to See

The green Saint Charles streetcar line, with 1920s vintage trolleys, was restored post-Katrina by 2008.

Whether traveling on streetcars, driving or biking, St. Charles Avenue is well worth a look for the mansions of the city's 19th-century "millionaire row".

GardenDistrictPinkForthHouse - "Garden District" home

  • Garden District is a part of town known for the fine mansions. The official historical neighborhood is bounded by St. Charles Avenue, Jackson Avenue, Louisiana Avenue, and Magazine Street; historically some definitions have defined the boundaries otherwise, and more equally fine historic mansions can be found nearby outside these boundaries. The name "Garden District" came from early in the 19th century when this area was laid out with fine mansions of businessmen and plantation owners, building a couple of grand houses to the block surrounded by large gardens. In the late 19th century most of the land owners sold off most of the surrounding lots, on which wooden Victorian homes rich in architectural "gingerbread" were built. Thus, despite the name and the "Garden District" is now notable more for its architecture than for the gardens. Tours of the mansions of Uptown's Garden District are given by the Park Service and by private companies; there are walking and bus tours available. Walking tours typically cost about $25 per person (April 2023), and may sell out, so booking ahead is recommended.
  • Lafayette Cemetery #1, Prytania & Washington. Historic old cemetery.
  • Latter Branch, New Orleans Public Library 5120 St. Charles Avenue - Monday West 10AM Monday - 8PM; Tuesday Thursday 10AM Monday - 6PM; Saturday 10AM Monday - 5PM. Yes, you can read a book or get a bit of internet time, but this branch of the library is in a 1907 vintage mansion, formerly the home of silent film star Marguerite Clark. This makes it a St. Charles mansion you can see the elegant interior of for free!

Stay Safe

Uptown is a large section of the city. Being a relatively high-end area, it is one of the safest in New Orleans. The parts of most interest to visitors are generally some of the safer in the area, but neighborhood conditions can change dramatically within a few blocks. Be aware of where you're going if you venture away from major streets like St. Charles, Prytania, and Magazine. Parts of the Garden District are bordered by housing projects and unsafe neighborhoods. Be cautious if parking on dimly lit side streets at night. If you're unsure of an area ask in advance or play it safe and take a cab.
