New Orleans Real Estate - Market Report - Marigny Bywater This week's market report takes us to the East side of the French Quarter as we take a look at the hot areas of the Marigny and the Bywater. This continues to be one of the most desirable areas of the city due to the lack of housing inventory available and a less than two months days on the market. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions about the above information. Also, I'm more than happy to assist you in purchasing or selling a home should it be your service area.Here's a look at the schedule for our upcoming market reports for Orleans Parish.Feb. 7 - GentillyFeb. 14 - New Orleans EastFeb. 21 - Mid-CityFeb. 28 - Warehouse DistrictMar. 7 - Garden DistrictMar. 14 - BroadmoorMar. 21 - UptownPlease view our neighborho... 01/31/2013

Take a Creole Cottage in the Faubourg Marigny area of New Orleans that is blighted strip the house down to the studs, wrap the house with batting cage plastic and then fill the house with balls…loads of balls, four feet deep. That is what one gentlemen who lives in the Marigny is doing.  He found the owners of the blighted property, drove to visit them, discussed his idea and they agreed to let him move forward with his idea.

Faubourg Marigny Shotgun Double, with touches of Victorian Trim.        The Faubourg Marigny begins as you leave the French Quarter as you cross Esplanade Ave.  You have many historic homes dating back to the early 18 th century.  This double shotgun home with four bays is in great shape.   Its easy to see it has been restored.  A Hundred is a long time so things get added and subtracted from these old homes.  Tastes and styles would change over the years and from owner to owner. New Orleans loves to recycle their Historic homes.     The brick and concrete porch was most likely added at a later date.  The Victorian ginger bread may have been added when that was in vogue.  The bright contrasting colors may have been this bright as the colors of the West Indies and early Haitian settler l... 10/08/2010
