St. Claude | New Orleans Real Estate & Neighborhood Info

The St. Claude neighborhood has a rich tapestry of residents who call this area home. You will find people who have lived in the same house their whole lives and newly renovated homes that were gutted down to the studs.

Originally plantation land, it became known as a working-class neighborhood once it developed. While current-day St. Claude has seen many people renovate old New Orleans homes, many blighted houses are still peppered throughout the neighborhood. The commercial businesses that adorn this New Orleans ‘hood are some of the best in the city, though. From some of the best dining in town to The Healing Center and the Musician’s Clinic, St. Claude is an enigma.

While housing prices have gone up, you can find many homes to purchase under $200k. Be on the lookout for cottages, shotguns, and doubles for sale.

Lagniappe: The street known as St. Claude was previously known as Good Children. (Rumor is that it was named for the section of land where Bernard de Marigny kept his illegitimate children housed.)
