Bayou St John Neighborhood

When you think of New Orleans, you probably think about the music, the food, the festivals and celebrations (Mardi Gras!), and the drinks. When you want a respite from the party that is New Orleans, there’s a terrific little neighborhood that just might provide that peace and quiet: Bayou St. John!

Located between Esplanade Avenue and Lafitte Avenue and following the Bayou St. John on the north end and North Broad Street to the south, Bayou St. John enjoys a fantastic location adjacent to City Park. This park features the City Park Carousel, Tad Gormley Stadium, the Botanical Garden, the New Orleans Museum of Art, and the Festival Ground Trail. When you aren’t enjoying one of the nation’s largest (and oldest!) urban parks, you might enjoy visiting the historic Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots, also nearby.

With huge oaks forming a canopy over sun-dappled streets lined with elegant homes, Bayou St. John is impressive – and so is its history. Explorers Iberville and Bienville traveled through the area in 1699, using a winding trail once used by Native Americans. If you rent an apartment in the Bayou St. John area, you’ll appreciate late lunches at sidewalk cafés and strolling through City Park. But be sure to make time for Parkway Bakery & Tavern, a neighborhood favorite famous for its Po’boy sandwiches, and don’t miss out on the world-famous New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. If you are in the mood for a beautiful location with a slightly eerie vibe, explore the above-ground tombs and mausoleums at St. Louis Cemetery No. 3.

Filled with narrow streets, historic architecture, and green spaces, you may find yourself spending more time outside your Bayou St. John apartment than in! At the end of the day, be sure to stroll down to the bayou and enjoy a spectacular sunset – or see it from you boat or kayak! With all of the fun and frivolity that surrounds you in New Orleans, Bayou St. John offers a naturally-beautiful and much quieter neighborhood to call home.
