Uptown: The Long Green Stretch of New Orleans Living

Uptown is less a single neighborhood than a state of mind — a broad, oak-canopied swath of the city running upriver from the Garden District all the way to Carrollton, stitched together by St. Charles Avenue and the streetcar line that has been rolling down its neutral ground since 1835. For renters and people new to New Orleans, Uptown is often the first place that feels like home — and for many, it stays that way.
