With its rows of historic shotgun houses interspersed with palm trees along narrow streets, Fairgrounds resembles many New Orleans neighborhoods. But this neighborhood wraps around its namesake horse racing track -- the third-oldest in the nation. The Fair Grounds Race Course and Slots sits in the middle of the neighborhood, dominating the landscape. The Bayou St. John curves along the western border, separating Fairgrounds from City Park. Dillard University is adjacent to Fairgrounds, located to the northeast and accessible by Gentilly Boulevard.
As of March 2025, the average apartment rent in Fairgrounds is $1,319 for a studio, $1,370 for one bedroom, $2,007 for two bedrooms, and $2,689 for three bedrooms. Apartment rent in Fairgrounds has decreased by -0.8% in the past year.
