A Streetcar Named Desire

A Streetcar Named Desire: Louisiana

This condo is ideally located in the Central Business District (CBD), an area of New Orleans that was originally known as Faubourg St. Marie. The world-famous French Quarter is just a short fifteen-minute walk from your door, offering entertainment, dining, bars, and music venues, in particular jazz clubs for which New Orleans is well known. Whether you choose to take in the sounds of Bourbon Street or enjoy a meal with great background music, is entirely up to you. What’s more, your neighbourhood also boasts some of the country’s premier music venues, vibrant nightlife, and fine dining establishments, so you won’t have to go far to find great venues.

The famous streetcar transportation, which inspired Tennessee Williams' writing, is reachable in just five minutes by foot from this home, opening up a city of opportunities for you. Take an evening stroll by the cathedral, which is twenty-seven minutes away on the tram, visit the House of Blues – reachable in twenty-two minutes, or even take a steamboat ride up the Mississippi River – which can be reached on the tram within twenty-seven minutes.

In the late afternoons, why not take a dip in the complex’s swimming pool, curl up on the sofa with a good book, or spend some time people-watching from your balcony. Then, head out for dinner and spend the evening listening to incredible musicians and enjoying the colourful nightlife.
