Tree-lined streets 3 miles from downtown
In Marlyville-Fontainbleau, the Spanish moss growing from oak trees looks like Mardi Gras beads and the streets are quiet enough for a leisurely bike ride. Marlyville-Fontainbleu belongs to the Uptown/Carrollton Area of New Orleans, and most sections of the city, including its famous French Quarter, are no more than 5 miles — or a 15-minute drive — away. As is the case for much of New Orleans, homes here are far from uniform. Walking down the sidewalks, locals will spot raised cottages painted in varying shades of pink, blue, green and white. “A whole part of the city was Cyprus swamps, and they were drained,” says Isabel Sanders, a New Orleans native with over 14 years of real estate experience. According to Sanders, the former swamp land can now be characterized by “picturesque tree-lined boulevards with ‘neutral’ ground in the center.” Just beyond Marlyville-Fontainbleau’s residential streets, find convenience stores, bakeries and hole-in-the-wall barbecue joints on South Claiborne Avenue or Earhart Boulevard to the east.
Jazz Age architecture and investment properties
Many of the homes in Marlyville-Fontainbleau date back to the early 20th-century and the height of New Orleans’ Jazz Age; the presence of 1920s experimental music, painting and poetry is also reflected in the neighborhood’s eclectic architecture. Buyers will find everything from investment properties for under $200,000 to fully restored, French-influenced homes on Versailles Boulevard for upwards of $1 million. Newly constructed bungalows, duplexes and condo options for between $250,000 and $500,000 represent the mid-point, and most homes have raised basements, a learned defense against water damage. “When we say basement in New Orleans, we really mean a finished first floor that might have a bedroom or living space,” says Sanders. Keep in mind that flood insurance in the area can get pricey.

Tuition-free charter schools, top-rated private options and higher education
Families with school-aged children have multiple tuition-free charter schools to choose from, including Andrew H. Wilson for pre-kindergarten through 8th Grade and Eleanor McMain Secondary School for grades eight through 12. Both schools received a C or higher from the educational review site, Niche, and McMain is famous for being the alma mater of rapper Lil Wayne. There are also several private school options in the area, like St. Mary’s Dominican High School for girls and Jesuit High School, which were awarded an A and A-plus, respectively.
Tulane University, which brings jobs — and customers — to the area, is less than a mile away from Marlyville-Fontainebleau, and Notre Dame Seminary, a graduate school of theology, can be found in the neighborhood itself.
Cajun cuisine, fresh produce and superhero comics
Marlyville-Fontainebleau residents are within walking distance of everything from Gumbo and sweet praline potatoes at Nice Guys Nola to Riccobono’s Panola Street Cafe, beloved for its hearty breakfasts. Pick up groceries for the week at Robért Fresh Market Uptown, a local boutique supermarket chain, or stop by a produce stand on Carrollton Avenue. In the southern half of the neighborhood, residents can travel back in time to 1950s-era New Orleans at Ted’s Frostop, a decades-old drive-in diner and, across the street, stop by Crescent City Comics for the latest Marvel releases.
Ted's Frostop in Marlyville-Fontainebleu has been a summertime favorite since 1926.
Panola Street Cafe has been a favorite breakfast spot in Marlyville-Fontainebleu since 1998.
