Secret gardens are essential when it comes to living in a 24/7 party neighborhood
Known for its Spanish architecture, Creole cuisine, and year-round street parties, the French Quarter is a bucket-list destination for many. And even though its celebratory spirit is notoriously exhibitionist, the historic neighborhood conceals one of its oldest assets behind closed doors: courtyards.
Originally used as carriage loading sites, outdoor kitchens, and chicken coops, courtyards have shed their utilitarian past to become private oases in a very public, tourist-centric neighborhood. Here are five French Quarter homes for sale with beautiful courtyards, which strike the perfect balance between indoor and outdoor living, private and public space.
