About 821 BArracks

This beautiful and well-maintained 19th century home now houses 4 units, plus a free-standing two-story carriage house in the courtyard behind it. Located on one of the best blocks of one of the best streets in the best part of the French Quarter, these units are in the heart of a neighborhood that shelters a community of artists, writers, musicians and eccentrics of all kinds. This part of the Quarter is far removed from the partying and craziness closer to Canal Street, and is more closely aligned to the goings-on at Frenchmen Street in the Marigny neighborhood nearby. The units are less than a block from the largest greenspace in the Quarter. Local amenities include a multiplicity of restaurants, bars, grocery stores, laundries, music venues, art galleries, etc including the Port of Call restaurant (1 block), Verti Marte convenience store (2 blocks), Matassa's Market grocery store and the Croissant D'Or bakery and coffee shop (4 blocks), Snug Harbor jazz club, and other Frenchmen street clubs (5 blocks). Of course, all the famous sites of the Vieux Carre are also only blocks away - Jackson Square, St. Louis Cathedral, Preservation Hall, Cafe du Monde and others. The buildings at 821 Barracks are in great shape, and each unit is described in more detail on the following pages (click on a unit above to see photos and text). The courtyard and common areas are mostly brick, secluded and shady, and include a fountain, gas light, plants, security lighting and access to the carriage house and units 1 and 2. Units 3 and 4 are accessed through a separate gate and staircase that lead to a second-story rear gallery. 4 of the 5 units are currently rentals, with one unit set aside for the owners.
