Saint Roch embodies what makes New Orleans so special between its dynamic dining scene and vibrant architecture. Saint Roch is best known for being home to Saint Roch Market, a trendy dining hall serving up everything from contemporary Creole to fresh baked cookies. Several events are also held here. Residents also flock to Saint Roch’s mom-and-pop eateries like Melba’s Po Boys, a local favorite for its daiquiris and po boys. Saint Roch’s scenery is typical of many NOLA neighborhoods.
Narrow streets frame a series of colorful shotgun houses and raised cottages with small front porches. Rentals here are typically mid-range but there are more expensive options present as well. Interstate 610 and 10 run through the neighborhood placing residents within minutes of several popular destinations. Saint Roch is just south of Dillard University and the University of New Orleans. City Park is five miles away and the vibrant French Quarter is even closer at three miles away.
