Beauty in aesthetics and historical significance can be found all around in the fantastic neighborhood of Algiers Point. It is a local and National Register Historic District on the "Westbank" of New Orleans, across the Mississippi River from and linked to the French Quarter and Central Business District by the Algiers-Canal Street Ferry. Although it is separated from "Eastbank" of New Orleans by the river, it is nonetheless an integral part of the city and within the boundaries of Orleans Parish. 

Late 19th Century architecture is plentiful, and many homes for sale in Algiers Point include intriguing homes built in the Victorian and Italian-Age styles, as well as newer properties. There are an abundance of hospitals nearby, such as West Jefferson Medical Center. Exploring this beautiful neighborhood will open up a world of entertainment. The public parks are great for sunny day recreation and family fun. 

The Algiers Point Association looks after quality of life in the neighborhood and sponsors an annual home tour of Algiers Point real estate in October. The springtime counterpart to the tour is the Old Algiers RiverFest, which draws thousands to the Westbank of the river to sample New Orleans food, music, and crafts. For those interested in learning more about the region's history, a walking tour of the French Quarter will prove very informative. Other things to do include area zoos and aquariums and a number of museums.
