Ferns and French Quarter Balconies, Semi-Tropical Weather makes it all possible.

        The balconies in the New Orleans French Quarter that adorn the historic buildings are also a showcase for those with a green thumb.  A balcony is a porch to the world to show their skills.  This is made possible by plenty of moisture through our humidity and frequent showers.  Freezes are rare occurrences and the sunshine is plentiful.  The growing season is long with the best weather being October to May.  The Mississippi Delta soil is rich in organic materials.  The only rocks that we have are imported from other states and countries.

Warehouse District Views, A roof top view of the CBD in New Orleans.

     Rooftop views in the New Orleans Warehouse District from the Federal Fibre Mills Condos.  Condos make up almost 100% of residential real estate in this area of New Orleans.  Most of the condos are conversions from warehouses and old office buildings.  It is also becoming an area where people are buying second homes because there is a lot to do in the area.  Enjoy the view!

The Federal Fibre Mills Condos, New Orleans Warehouse District !

     The Federal Fibre Mills was once a rope factory in the late 1800's.  Later it was part of the 1984 World's Fair.  It was where the beer garden was.  It is now one of the more popular downtown condo complexes that features high ceilings, large windows, exposed beams, exposed brick walls and one of the best common areas of all New Orleans.

New Orleans Uptown, Ride the Street Car line to Work or just play! Great Value!

       One of the best value's in the City of New Orleans.  Ride for fun to view the historic homes along St. Charles Ave. as you roll through the Warehouse District, Garden District, and Uptown New Orleans.  It is much much cheaper that the San Francisco Cable cars and you get to see a lot more than other tourist.

French Doors have always been popular in New Orleans. Not always in these colors however!

      French doors have always been popular in New Orleans architect.  I do not think the slidng glass doors of the 50's and 60's were invented here.  Its a door and window in one. 

     "The origin of of French doors can be dated back to the end of the Renaissance period in the 17th century. The original intent of French doors was to allow natural light to flow from room to room and keep homes illuminated for long periods during the day. By the end of the 1600's, England was featuring French doors for the first time, and sometime after that they starting appearing in America, especially in Louisiana where they are still seen today."

Old Metairie Homes, Cottages and Mansions!

         Old Metairie Real Estate where homes can be mansions or cottages.  This is a classic cottage among the many oak trees and quiet streets of Old Metairie.  One of the closest areas to the City of New Orleans.  Its a small town of its own.

French Quarter Roof Top Views, Where are the skycrapers?

       Views from a French Quarter condo that I had listed a couple of years ago.  No tall buildings allowed in this historic district so you can get great views form this fourth floor unit.  The only down fall was the stairs to get up to the penthouse unit.  Great 1880 views once you opened the windows.
