Apartments for Rent in Gert Town - New Orleans

Apartments for Rent in Gert Town, New Orleans, LA

Part of New Orleans' 16th Ward, Gert Town is more of a "college town." This is the location of Xavier University, a private liberal arts college opened by the Catholic Church in 1915. This prestigious, historically black university ranks as one of the nation's best.

Gert Town extends west of I-10 between B.W. Cooper to the south and Holly Grove to the north. It loosely follows Earhart Boulevard on the west end. The neighborhood has a unique street pattern, with the streets crossing and curving like the currents of the river. Since this was the swampy "back end" of New Orleans, most streets stopped before reaching Gert Town, which was uninhabited. Later, when canals helped to drain this low-lying area, Gert Town became a railroad hub. The roads were extended into Gert Town from other areas, often running into each other and creating the odd flow.

Today, Gert Town is a dynamic community located about four miles northwest of the French Quarter. It features a variety of shops and restaurants, especially near the university.
