Have you ever considered a home in Algiers Point?  Located on the West Bank of the Mississippi River, it's the second oldest neighborhood in New Orleans (only the French Quarter dates further back).

Over 1,700 square feet in beautiful, historic Algiers Point for under $200k? We’ve got that. Originally a double, this home was converted to a single years ago and a camelback bedroom was added. It’s new on the market and priced to sell at $199,000. Many of the original architectural details are still in place, with pine floors, stained glass windows, door transoms and fireplace fronts that help the space retain the historic feel of a neighborhood that was established in the 1700s. High ceilings, picture moldings and large baseboards all add to the charm of a home that sits in the heart of Algiers Point, only blocks from a neighborhood grocery store, churches, bank, green space, coffee shops and more. Just a few blocks away is the Algiers Ferry, with quick and easy access to downtown Ne...

I recently was asked about how the real estate market is doing in Algiers Point, specifically for doubles and other multi-family properties.  Well, I’m sorry to say, that it’s not good news for sellers in the community – too much competition and too few sales.   Multi-Family Property in Algiers Point (including doubles) While the trend line may indicate increasing values, there have been only 3 multi-family properties sold in the Point in the last 6 months and none as of 3/31/2010.  With 23 active listings at this time, there is a lot for the buyers to choose from, making them more likely to walk away from a deal if they don’t feel like they are getting a “bargain”.   Sales of Doubles in Algiers Point Prices of doubles in the Point have followed the same trend line over the past few yea...
