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.

Algiers LA 2007 Neighborhood Home Sales Market Report
January 2, 2008 by lisa
Filed under Algiers, Blog, Market Updates
Within Algiers we have so many diverse neighborhoods that a general state of the market report may be misleading to some. 2007 market reports are available for zip codes 70114 and 70131. Getting a little more detailed, here are some of the most popular neighborhoods in the area, along with their 2006 and 2007 sales statistics.
It must be noted that 2006 was a boom year for real estate sales on the West Bank, due to the large number of people relocating after Hurricane Katrina. With our reduced population in the metro area, that sales volume could not be sustained over a long period of time, and decreases in volume were to be expected. The higher sales prices that were commanded in 2006 were a direct reflection of the increased demand for housing in non-flooded areas. Again, as people have settled into different areas, prices have decreased to reflect the lessened demand for housing. Another factor impacting housing sales continues to be the higher cost of home owner’s insurance, with most first time home buyers being placed into policies with LA Citizens (Fair Plan).
