This gem is the LANDMARK HOME of Gentilly Terrace, a national historic FIRST 20th century New Orleans neighborhood! Venerable Oaks line Gentilly Boulevard creating a park-like setting! Gentilly Terrace is a "foot-friendly" neighborhood- one of the safest areas in the city.
Chateau Gentilly is ideal because there is off-street parking for over 10 cars! and located only 2 houses from a Broad line bus stop (the MAIN bus route through character-rich New Orleans!). This one bus goes through gorgeous New Orleans neighborhoods and directly to Canal Street where there's shopping, restaurants and more!
