[edit] Overview of Algiers Point

Nestled in the bend of the river which gave the Crescent City its name lays the quiet neighborhood of Algiers Point. It is filled with turn-of-the-century homes dating from the 1840s and churches, schools, corner groceries, restaurants, and neighborhood businesses which serve the community as they have for years. Algiers Point is geographically isolated from the rest of the city of New Orleans by the natural barrier of the Mississippi River and this has served to ensure its development as a village within a city.

[edit] How to Get to Algiers Point

You can get to our neighborhood from the East bank of New Orleans via the Canal Street Ferry (at the foot of Canal Street) which will bring you directly into our neighborhood, or via the Crescent City Connection Bridge.

If using the bridge, exit General DeGaulle West. Turn right onto L.B. Landry (formerly Whitney Avenue). Then, turn left onto Opelousas Avenue at the 4-way stop. Take Opelousas directly into the Point.
