About me

Location New Orleans, Louisiana, United States
Introduction NorthWest Carrollton is a New Orleans neighborhood bounded by Leonides, Earhart, Carrollton and Claiborne. We're the “northern” (aka lakeside) peninsula of Carrollton, a historic neighborhood on the National Historic Register. We're a PostKatrina organization formed to celebrate the fact that we still had neighbors & to advocate for our historic neighborhood & its people. We feel it is important to address all issues of planning, recovery, rebuilding & quality of life. We revel in the diversity of our neighbors & the diversity of our historic housing stock. We have homes for every taste and income level. We have been gifted with commercial neighbors who respect the fact that they border our historic neighborhood. We were one of the neighborhoods that the BNOB commission said had to “prove our viability”. There are many out there who have been reminded to: “Be careful what you ask for.” We like to think that we are the next coolest neighborhood in New Orleans. We’ve come to understand that it while “it takes a village”, first you need a few determined individuals to wake up the rest of the folks in the village.
