Today, we’re kicking off the week with some of the best homes on the market in New Orleans. This time around our selection of dwellings includes condos, multi- and single-family homes under $300,000.

8601 S. Claiborne Avenue

In Leonidas, this sizable Arts and Crafts shotgun double that sits on a corner lot hit the market for $185,000. In short, both the exterior and interior of this home needs work. But it does have a off-street parking, a large sitting porch, and a 16 by 30 garage at its rear. You’ll also find hardwood floors underneath the carpet.

532 S. Cortez Street

You’ll find this renovated cottage that sits two blocks from Banks Street for $199,000. Measuring at 960 square feet, the home has three bedrooms and one bathroom. It has an uncommon brick facade and a pitched roof (which isn’t the norm in Mid-City, but we welcome variety). We love its French doors, large windows, and 10-foot ceilings. And its eat-in kitchen comes furnished.

812 Delery Street

This renovated shotgun in Holy cross is on the market for $219,000. Measuring at 944 square feet, this home has one bedroom and one bathroom. Highlights include its reclaimed wood walls, tall ceilings, and antique heart pine-floors. You’ll find a large yard with plenty of potential at the rear of this home.

1137 Belleville Street

In Old Algiers, this renovated Arts and Crafts cottage asks $249,900. We like the home’s large covered porch. This home has a simple color palette that puts emphasis on its hardwood floors. Its updated kitchen has granite counters and stainless steel appliances. At 1,600 square feet, you’ll find three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

1720 Washington Avenue #3

A camelback unit in this complex near St. Charles Avenue will run you $269,000. At first glance, this multi-family home has transoms, tall windows, and a modest front yard. This unit in particular has a mantel, its original hardwood floors, and a furnished kitchen. At 914 square feet, you’ll find two bedrooms and one bathroom. It has a private courtyard at its rear.
