Built in 1863, this Victorian camelback in quiet, leafy Algiers Point brings a lot of value to its price point.

Its new additions—including a pergola in the backyard patio—enhance its period charm. The two-bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom is asking $349,000.

Carnival is the season for French Quarter shopping—and that includes real estate. This jewel box of a one-bedroom condo could serve as a pied-à-terre or a full-time residence.

The chandelier and abundant natural light give a spacious, airy feel to the 592-square-foot dwelling. HOA fees are $373/month, and the asking price is $349,900.

If you want a house but don’t relish the yard work and upkeep, this renovated shotgun double (converted to a single) in the Lower Garden District may be for you.
