Charming 1BR — Steps to City Park & the Bayou

Bayou St. John is one of New Orleans' most charming, laid-back neighborhoods—residential and quiet, yet steps from the scenic bayou and minutes from the action.

Right outside, stroll, jog, or bike along the water, paddle a kayak on the bayou, or cross the picturesque historic Magnolia footbridge.

You're walking distance to City Park—one of the largest urban parks in the country—home to the New Orleans Museum of Art, its free sculpture garden, the Botanical Garden, and ancient live oaks. Just beyond sits the Fair Grounds, home of the legendary New Orleans Jazz Fest each spring.

It's a food lover's dream, too. You're blocks from local institutions: Parkway Bakery & Tavern for the city's famous po-boys, Blue Oak BBQ, Spanish paella at Lola's, and classic French bistro fare at Café Degas.

Set along oak-lined Esplanade Avenue, you're wonderfully connected—walkable, bike-friendly, and a quick streetcar or ride from the French Quarter, Tremé, and the rest of the city.

You're in one of the most walkable, bike-friendly corners of New Orleans, with easy ways to reach the rest of the city:

On foot: The bayou, City Park, and Esplanade Avenue's restaurants are all a short stroll away.

By bike: Flat, scenic, and easy—cruise the bayou path or the Lafitte Greenway straight into the French Quarter.

No bike? Grab a Blue Bikes e-bike right from the app in the neighborhood (about 15–20 minutes to the Quarter).

Streetcar: Catch the historic Canal–City Park/Museum line at the edge of City Park and ride down to the CBD and French Quarter. Tickets on the RTA Le Pass app.

Bus: The Esplanade bus heads right into the French Quarter and connects you citywide.

Rideshare: Uber and Lyft are quick and plentiful—roughly 10 minutes to the Quarter, ideal for a night out.

By car: Enjoy free, unrestricted street parking right out front—perfect for grocery runs and day trips.

Your private, garden-level one-bedroom has its own entrance and everything you need to settle right in:
- Spa-inspired shower, complete with a built-in steam feature—your own private retreat to melt away the day after exploring the city.
- Well-equipped kitchenette featuring a Cosori 12-in-1 air fryer, Cuisinart double burner, microwave, and toaster—everything you need for easy meals between visits to the city's legendary restaurants.
- Free, unrestricted street parking right out front—a rare find in New Orleans
- Free in-unit washer & dryer, so you can pack light
- Fast WiFi and central air conditioning
- Two smart TVs with local channels included. Streaming apps like Netflix and Hulu are loaded on the TVs—just sign in with your own accounts to watch and remember to log out before checkout.

A cozy note on the space: this is a garden-level (ground-floor) apartment with the lower ceilings and doorways that come with a historic New Orleans home. It's snug in the best way—but in the spirit of honesty, it fits some heights more comfortably than others.

A rough guide: if you stand around the stature of Louis Armstrong (5'6"), Miles Davis (5'7"), John Coltrane (5'8"), Dr. John (5'9"), Cab Calloway (5'10"), you'll feel right at home. If you rise to the heights of Duke Ellington (6'1") or Big Freedia (6'2"), you may find the ceilings a touch close for comfort.
