Bocage is a well established neighborhood in the Algiers section of New Orleans. Conveniently located on the West Bank of New Orleans, off of General de Gaulle, it provides easy access to the CBD, shopping, schools and churches. Just around the corner from Bocage is Our Lady of Holy Cross College and within walking distance are Alice M. Harte Charter School, Norman Playground and St. Andrew the Apostle School.
Additionally, Bocage is centrally located between both NAS JRB New Orleans and NSA New Orleans, making it a great choice for relocating military personnel. Tree lined streets provide a peaceful atmosphere for all of the residents and give you a little shade for your evening stroll.
