Broadmoor
Historic architecture, a strong sense of community, and an unbeatable central location.
This is home for me — I'm restoring my own 1920s bungalow here, so I know the neighborhood from the inside out. Broadmoor sits right in the geographic heart of the city, which makes almost everything a short drive: Uptown, Mid-City, the universities, and downtown are all within easy reach.
The housing stock is what draws people in — Craftsman bungalows, raised-basement homes, Spanish-revival cottages, and double shotguns, many from the 1910s through the 1930s. Prices generally run from the $250s into the $500s depending on condition and how much restoration has been done, which makes it one of the better values for buyers who want character without an Uptown price tag.
Broadmoor rewards owners who care about a home's history. It's a neighborhood of people who walk their dogs, know their neighbors, and take pride in bringing old houses back to life. If you want a central address, a real community, and a home with a story, this is one of the most compelling places in New Orleans to land.
