CBD & Warehouse District | New Orleans Real Estate & Neighborhood Info

The CBD and Warehouse District neighborhoods of New Orleans were once centers of manufacturing and warehousing. After years of suppliers moving to other parishes, buildings sat empty. That is until the 1984 World’s Fair came along. That fair changed the Warehouse District’s landscape forever. Developers came in and began renovating these former industrial buildings into commercial units, restaurants, and condos. 

The great thing about living in the CBD or the Warehouse District is that you probably don’t have to travel far for work. Wine bars, high-end eateries, art galleries, and tons of festivals are within your reach. 

Condos will likely have to be your residence of choice, as it is extremely rare to find a single-family home here. More and more condo buildings, with extravagant amenities, are popping up every day. Warehouse District condos can fit into many types of budgets and lifestyles. 

Lagniappe: Now a mixed-use neighborhood, the CBD was originally developed as the largely residential Faubourg Ste. Marie.
