It is more than one fourth mile long, and four or five hundred feet wide, surrounded with beautiful houses, and gardens filled with the choicest flowers, roses blooming all the year round, and at this particular season the air is almost oppressive with the luscious fragrance of the orange bloom and the different species of Jessamine, especially the "Grand Duke" and "Arabian." Then at night we are entertained by the song of the "Southern nightingale" among the beautiful trees....All the children of the neighborhood with their nurses [GRAPHIC EXPRESSION NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII]c. and some of larger growth, too, gather on the Square in the evenings, and form the liveliest and prettiest groups imaginable, playing at different games, jumping the rope, and chasing one another among the sweet clover blooms. [1] Thomas Warton an architect describes the park in a letter to his sister in 1855.       Fountain in Center of Square on Dec 21, 2006   Live Oak Trees Line the Square New Orleans Uptown Condos      Many of your uptown Condos are those that have taken old homes that have been split up into condos. This area does not have a lot of old historic buildings that can be turned into condos. Many of the complexes are the  the more recent buildings of the 1950's and 1960's that were apartments. These old homes offer the high ceilings and large windows that people like. You can expect to find wood floors, balconies, porches and that historic feel. Parking gets harder to find as many of these old homes had no cars because they were not yet invented when many of these areas were developed. As real estate and the price of a single home has gotten more expensive these units have become more popular than ever especially where the locations are superior.    You will have to choose between a smaller complex of an old home or two put togeather and larger units that were apartments dating from the 1920's to the 1960's. Both the choices will have their pluses and minuses. Its all up to what you want in a lifestyle. If you want a turnkey style then a complex may be the better choice for you. They will come in all varieties and price ranges.
